Church of St Patrick

The Church of St Patrick is a Gothic style church, likely dating from the 13th century with substantial alterations in the 19th century. It is constructed of rubble stone with freestone dressings and slate roofs, behind coped gables. The church comprises a nave with a lower and narrower chancel, and a gabled west porch. The west end of the nave features a simple double bellcote with a saddleback roof, and the base of the nave is battered. The south wall of the nave has two pairs of cusped lights, mirrored by a similar pair in the south wall of the chancel. The east window is of three stepped cusped lights. A vestry is located on the north side of the chancel, set under an outshut roof, and has a square-headed two-light window on its north side and a pointed doorway with a continuous chamfer, a boarded door, and strap hinges on its west side. Foundations indicate the former presence of a boiler house to the east side of the vestry. The north wall of the nave features two pairs of cusped lights, similar to those on the south but not aligned with them, and towards the east side is a wide, blocked two-centred arch, likely intended for a transept or chapel.

The porch has a plastered tunnel vault and stone benches. The west doorway has a continuous chamfer and double boarded doors with studs and strap hinges. The nave has a four-bay arched-brace roof. Inside the west door is a roughly hewn, round-headed medieval stoup. A low arched recess visible from the exterior is blocked within the north wall. The chancel arch is a plain, plastered pointed arch with a single chamfer and is of medieval origin. A doorway and stone steps, leading to a former rood loft, are located in the south respond of the arch. The two-bay chancel roof is similar to that of the nave. The chancel windows have segmental rere arches with roll mouldings, and the east window features a blind quatrefoil frieze at sill level, forming a reredos. The north vestry doorway has a roll moulding and a boarded door with strap hinges. A cusped aumbry is set into the north wall of the vestry, and two-centred sedilia are located on the south wall.

The font is from the early 13th century, a roughly hewn round bowl with carved heads facing the cardinal directions, and sits on a round 20th-century stem and base. Other internal fittings, largely from 1878, include plain pews and a polygonal pulpit with pierced quatrefoils. Painted metal sheets displaying the Ten Commandments in Welsh flank the east window, with the Apostles' Creed and Lord’s Prayer in a similar style flanking the chancel arch. A simple slate memorial tablet by D Mainwaring of Carmarthen, commemorating Lady Sarah Champion de Crespigny (died 1825), is located on the north wall of the chancel. A brass tablet commemorating the church's restoration in 1878 is set within the arched recess in the north wall of the nave. Only the east window contains stained glass, depicting the Crucifixion, dated 1922.
