Church of Saint Edi

The Church of Saint Edi is a late medieval building with significant later alterations, constructed of rubble stone with a slate roof and stone ridge. It comprises a west tower, a nave, and a chancel, each roofed separately.

The base of the tower is of late medieval origin, displaying a battered plinth capped by a plain oversailing course, before sheer vertical walls rise to the belfry, which is slightly recessed and set above a moulded string course. The tower has three stages: the ground level contains a blocked pointed arched opening with stone voussoirs, the next stage holds a two-light trefoil window, and the top stage features a 19th-century belfry with large triple-lancet windows, louvred with chamfered ashlar dressings. Large moulded stone block corbels sit below the tower eaves, supporting a weathercock and vane. Small round arched windows are located above the nave roof on the east side. A steeply pitched gabled porch to the south of the nave, with oversailing eaves, has a moulded plinth and buttresses either side. A pointed-arched entrance doorway has stone voussoirs and a painted wooden wicket-gate. The south wall has plain buttresses separating a lancet with trefoil head from two two-light lancets with plate tracery (the spandrels pierced by circles). The chancel has two two-light trefoil headed lancets, also with trefoil detailing in the plate tracery. A lean-to vestry is attached, with an entrance door up stone steps to the west, featuring a flat head with dropped and rounded shoulders and a small two-light trefoil vent above. The north wall of the nave features a single trefoil headed lancet and two two-light plate tracery windows separated by buttresses. To the north of the chancel is an 18th-century mortuary chapel, with a pointed arched window in the north gable, containing a sash window with wooden astragals and delicate intersecting tracery, with rubbed stone voussoirs to the window head and a stone sill. The east window is of three lights, containing a large central trefoil flanked by two smaller ones, all with trefoils in the tracery. A hood mould with end stops enriched by floral decoration runs above the window, with a sill featuring dropped ends and connecting moulding on the plinth to form a continuous band.

The nave roof is a five-bay structure with deep arched collar trusses, featuring two moulded trefoils and a quatrefoil above the collar. The chancel roof has a scissor-rafter construction. A pointed gothic chancel arch has an inner rib springing from corbelled attached shafts, which have foliate ornament at their bases. A door in the north chancel wall leads to the 18th-century mortuary chapel. The mortuary chapel contains three mid-19th-century tomb-chest monuments to the Jones family of Court-y-Kydrim (now known as Plas Mawr) and features a plain vaulted whitewashed ceiling and walls, alongside a red and black chequer quarry tile floor. The church also incorporates simple close-backed pews with panelled square ends, a pine altar rail with wrought iron in-panels, and a raised pulpit on a hexagonal ashlar base with a hexagonal wooden drum. The panels of the pulpit drum are richly carved with blind tracery, featuring trefoil headed arches in pairs, with tracery of quatrefoils in the spandrels between the arches; the pulpit stair has trefoil panels below the hand rail. A 19th-century font has a circular bowl supported on four squat shafts with moulded bases, with panels between the shafts embellished with flowers, set above a square plinth. Stained glass windows are present, one on the north nave wall by Waine Bourne & Son, Birmingham, and a window in the east wall dated 1904.
