Description
The Church of St Madoc is a church built from rubble stone with slate roofs, featuring white terracotta ridge tiles and terracotta cross finials made by Johnsons of Burgess Hill. The structure includes a nave and chancel, a south porch, and a west bellcote. The west wall is battered and windowless, with a 19th-century bellcote that has two openings, a coped gable, and a cross finial. The south porch has a plain chamfered pointed arch, 19th-century bargeboards, and a terracotta cross, along with two cusped lancet windows on the south side of the nave. The chancel wall projects slightly, and the east wall has added buttresses and a 19th-century three-light window. The north side of the nave features three cusped lancets and a lean-to vestry between the first and second lancets.
Inside the porch, there is a fine 15th-century ribbed four-centred vault with eight panels, hollow-moulded ribs, and a four-centred arch at each end. To the left, there is an eroded effigy of a knight in a niche. The roofs date from the 19th century, and there is a round chancel arch. The medieval square font, dating from the 13th century, is scalloped on a round base. The fittings from 1877 include a low timber pulpit, pews, and iron altar rails made by Barrett of Birmingham, as well as encaustic tiles in the chancel by Webb. On the east wall, there is a brass plaque commemorating John Grant of Waltham Place, who died in 1804, similar to one found in Roch church. There are also two medieval brackets set low, one of which supports a displaced medieval stoup. A monument to the Rev. Moses Grant, who died in 1810, was created by J. Phillips of Haverfordwest in a neo-classical style. Additionally, there is a carved stone corbel on the north wall featuring three crude heads on the front, patterned lines to the west, and crude animals, possibly depicting a hunt, to the east, which may date from the 13th century.
