Church of the Holy Cross

The Church of the Holy Cross is a 13th-century single chamber church featuring a west bellcote. Its walls are made of battered whitewashed rubble stone, topped with a slate roof and coped gables. On the north side, there is a pair of leaded casement windows for the nave and a projection for the rood stair. The chancel has a similar window, both with timber lintels. The east end showcases a flat-headed two-light cusped window made of eroded sandstone. The south side has larger pairs of leaded casement windows, one in the chancel and one in the nave, with a blocked opening that was once a door. There is a low pointed arch doorway with a rough stone dripstone above, leading to a 20th-century ledged door.

Inside, the whitewashed chamber features a complete medieval roof with seven trusses, similar to the one at nearby Penbryn and a lost roof at Cenarth. This distinctive roof type includes an arched-braced collar truss with a short king post above and trefoil cusping, along with threaded butt purlins. The door has a low stepped head flat timber lintel, and the windows are deep set. The north side rood stair has low flat-headed doors at both the lower and upper levels, with an iron rail across the lower door. Carved timbers displayed inside are believed by F.H. Crossley to be part of a 15th-century rood screen parapet, which was once painted. There is an aumbrey recess on the north side with a stepped flat-headed lintel above the north window. A timber vestry is located in the rear of the interior, at the northwest corner. The church also contains a grey stone 13th-century font with a rectangular basin that is scalloped with darts, resting on a short round shaft and a plain square base. The interior features 19th-century pine pews, a Victorian hexagonal pulpit, and a late 20th-century slate altar on slate steps, along with an altar rail from around 1952 designed by A.D. Caroe.
