Description

The Church of St Tudwg is a Tudor-Gothic style church, dating from the 19th century. It consists of a nave with a bellcote and a south porch, and a lower chancel. The church is constructed of battered rubble stone with coped gables and a slate roof, some of which has been renewed.

The nave has a two-light window to the left of the porch, a three-light window to the right, and a shallow projection to the right of the three-light window, likely for a side altar. The south porch has a plain two-centred doorway. Inside the porch is a pointed arched-brace roof, and a south door similar to the west and priest’s doors. The chancel has two two-light south windows, a central late-medieval priest's door with a two-centred head and a stop-chamfer surround, and a boarded door with decorative strap hinges. The east window has a renewed three-light Perpendicular window. The north walls of both the chancel and nave have one- and two-light windows respectively. The west wall of the nave has a late-medieval doorway, similar to but wider than the priest’s door, above which is a late-medieval two-light window with ogee-headed lights. The gabled bellcote has a single segmental-pointed opening containing a single bell of late 14th or early 15th century date.

The chancel arch is late-medieval with a Tudor head. The remainder of the interior dates to the 19th century. The nave has an arched-brace roof, while the chancel roof features scissor braces on short wall posts, with a boarded ceilure over the sanctuary.

The font has a round bowl and pedestal, originally from the 13th century but re-worked in the 19th century. A plain, round pulpit includes a frieze of blind quatrefoils. The east window contains early 20th century glass depicting Christ, the Virgin Mary, and John the Baptist, created by Jones & Willis. Two neo-classical tablets are located on the chancel north wall: one to Lucy Lord (died 1856), depicting a willow draped over an urn, by T. Gaffin of London; and another to Elizabeth Puget (undated), by Henry Wood. Other 17th and 18th century wall tablets are in the nave, some of which were brought in from elsewhere during the 1876 restoration.
