Church of St Illtyd

The Church of St Illtyd is a 19th-century church built with coursed and bull-nosed rubble masonry, featuring freestone dressings, gable parapets with crucifix finials, and eaves courses. It has slate roofs and a cylindrical chimney on the vestry. The tower has a corbelled and crenellated parapet with crocketed finials, grotesques, and a southeast angle stair turret. The bell stage openings are paired and have Tudor hood moulds, while a similar window is located above the west entrance. There is a curved-sided triangle window next to the nook-shafted southwest porch. The north and south sides have 2-light Y-tracery and impaled trefoil windows, except for the north nave aisle, which has single light windows. The east windows are 3-light with intersecting and impaled trefoil tracery.

The churchyard includes a First World War memorial featuring the crucifixion, accessed through a lychgate donated in 1910 by Samuel Llewellyn of Coed Parc.

Inside, the church has a rendered interior with freestone dressings and open timber roofs that are boarded, featuring an ornate wall plate in the chancel. The nave arcade is chamfered with head stops, supported by octagonal piers with moulded capitals. The tower arch has a stopped base and a Gothic screen, leading to a plaster-ceiled tower chamber. The inner order of the chancel arch has heavily foliated capitals and corbel shafts, with similar arches on the vestry and the west and south sides. The chancel retains a 14th-century piscina and sedilia, both with crocketed gable canopies. There is a Gothic reredos and choir stalls from 1894, featuring carved fish by Clarke of Llandaff. The window surrounds and monuments from the original chancel are preserved in the Victorian vestry, which has double cusped and crocketed ogee rere arches on the north side. The church also contains numerous 17th, 18th, and 19th-century wall monuments, including two with semicircular hoods flanked by free-standing columns, one dedicated to Philip Gamage, who died in 1675.

The tower chamber houses three important medieval tombstones from the 11th and 12th centuries, which are heavily worn.
