Description
Redberth Parish Church is a simple rectangular building featuring a small combined porch, belfry, and tower at the west end. Although it is an economical design, the church has a crenellated tower that signifies its Anglican status. The chancel roof is slightly lower than the nave roof, and both roofs are covered with slate. The church is constructed from local rubble masonry, with dressed quoins and window surrounds. Dressed limestone is used in the porch, as well as for the string courses and crenellations of the tower, which have a pecked finish and chisel-draughted margins. The gatepiers of the churchyard are finished in a similar manner. The stonework framing the windows is made of oolitic limestone, and all the windows are of the lancet type. The belfry lights are fitted with slate louvres. In the southwest corner of the churchyard, there is a tombstone for Miss Thomas.
Inside, the church has a nave and a short chancel of similar width, separated by a low chancel arch. The arch follows local tradition, springing from a low level without imposts and is undecorated. The east window is a broad single lancet depicting the Good Shepherd, dedicated to William Edwards, a former churchwarden. The south window of the chancel features a piscina built into its side.
The pews and pulpit are designed in a uniform simplified Gothic style of joinery, with the pulpit located on the south side. There is an unusually wide central space between the two ranges of pews, where the font is prominently positioned near the entrance porch. The font is believed to be Norman, retained from the original church, but it has been re-tooled, and its decoration is in 19th-century Gothic style.
