Description

The Church of St Cadoc is a Grade II* listed building featuring grey rubble construction with a rendered chancel and slate roofs. The west tower has a saddleback design and includes trefoil windows on each side at the belfry level. Below these, on the south side, there is a round-headed light, followed by a trefoil light and another round-headed light at ground level, along with a doorway to the west. The south gabled porch has a simple pointed arched doorway and stone benches.

On either side of the porch, the nave has windows with three cusped lights and square hoodmoulds. To the right, there is a shallow rectangular stair projection, while to the north, the nave features two small windows and a three-light window to the west. The chancel, which is stepped down, has a south window with two cusped lights and a square hoodmould, an east window with two lights (inserted in 1828), and a narrow window to the north.

Inside, the walls are plastered, and there are simple chamfers on the exposed stones of the tower and chancel arches. A stone tower stair is located in the northeast corner. The chancel contains a wooden altar and reredos in the Decorated style from the 1920s, which was moved from St John's Church in 1951. There is a 17th-century communion rail with balusters and a piscina beneath the south window of the chancel. The nave features a Gothic doorway leading to stairs that once led to a rood-loft in the southeast corner. The nave roof dates from a restoration in 1885, and there is a Norman font with roll-mouldings.
