Description
The Church of Saint Teilo is a Grade II listed building constructed from rubble stone and topped with a single slate roof. It features a nave and chancel, a south transept, and a west bellcote. The west end has a small window and a rough stone bellcote with two arches under a gable. On the north side of the nave, there is a plain arched door and a long window with a single stone lintel. The chancel is indicated by a wall projection for a rood stair, which has two slight steps leading to a long chancel that includes a long narrow arched single window followed by a two-light window. The east end has a single pointed window, while the south side of the chancel has an outshut with two square-headed leaded lights. The south transept contains two long lancet windows on the south side, and the south side has two plain square-headed windows with slab lintels. The windows generally have rough stone jambs and lack ashlar detailing.
Inside, the church has a long and low interior with exposed stone walls, cambered tie beams supporting the roof, and scissor-rafters. There is a medieval octagonal font, possibly from the 13th century, with sides that splay into a chamfered base over a circular shaft. The seating consists of simple open-back pews. A built-out passage in the north wall provides access to the pulpit and the rood stair; the pulpit is three-sided and simple, positioned at an angle to an exceptionally fine screen that features a rood-loft and a carved Crucifixion at the front. The loft is accessed by a mural stair on the north side and closes off a low rough stone chancel arch. The south transept has a splayed northeast opening into the chancel. The altar features a colored gesso on a timber altarpiece that is brought forward. Stained glass can be found in the east window, dating from around 1926, as well as in the south transept and the south nave, both from 1938.
