Church of St. Elidyr

Large W tower, comparatively low nave with a slightly lower chancel, N porch and a large full-length S aisle. The church is built of the local grey limestone, uncoursed and hammer dressed, partly restored. Slated roofs with red-tile ridges. The gables at the E are linked and coped and the aisle gable at the W is also coped.

The tower is a particularly fine feature positioned to occupy, with its stairs turret, the full width of the W end of the nave. The parapet is locally typical with corbels and crenellations, and there is a smaller parapet, also corbelled and crenellated, to the stairs turret. Single belfry lights to W, E and S but double to N. Beneath this is the second storey with slits to N and S and the first storey with a narrow blocked light to the W. Over the W door is a nearly square window with chamfered sides, blocked, within a larger blocked arch.

The windows date mostly from the C19 restoration. Most were new in the restoration, but several are more or less original. The E window of the aisle was retained as a two-light Tudor window with a carved lintel in two pieces, not joined over the mullion. At the W of the S elevation is a single equilateral-arched light. The restored windows are in sandstone. They are generally two-light quatrefoil-headed windows. One single-light window of the same description is in the W of the porch. The E window was restored to three-lights. At the N of the chancel is a single light with an ogee head.

There is a W doorway to the tower with chamfered segmental arch and a N doorway to the porch with a low two-centred arch, both with modern doors.

Nave with N porch and small chancel and large S aisle. The chancel arch and the arcade of the aisle are both of rough workmanship. The chancel is raised one step and the sanctuary one step more. The nave and aisle have roofs of common rafters with collars and arched braces, with additional tie beams at intervals. The shape of the vaulted base of the tower is visible in the W wall of the nave but the opening has been walled up. Coloured plain floor tiles in nave and chancel. Chancel and nave fittings all late C19. Cross above chancel screen.

The arcade between the nave and aisle is of three arches. The arcade between the chancel and aisle is similar but of two arches. The columns are round. The arches are four-centred and probably C15. The column caps in both parts of the arcade are decorated with many shields in relief, plus one grotesque face, but these may be recent as neither shields nor face are mentioned in Glynne's description in 1869.

A water stoup near the N door has a small square bowl and its sill carries a primitively carved face, the hair of which may be Tudor in style, between two possible roses. There is a larger water stoup near the blocked S door position, with a projecting circular stone bowl beneath a four-centred arch.

The E window and two other windows are of stained glass, the others are plain.

The font is square, on a modern pedestal.
