Description
Built of local white limestone random rubble with Sutton stone dressings and Welsh slate roofs with sandstone copings. Nave, chancel, south porch and west tower. The nave has a 3-light window on either side of the central gabled porch; lights with stilted arch heads and dripmould over. Similar arch to porch, gable coping, cross to apex. Coped east gable with cross. North wall has two 2-light windows of similar type. Victorian buttress to north-west corner. The chancel has a priest's door on the south wall, but no window either to this or to the north wall. Coped east gable with cross. Two-light east window with pointed heads and quatrefoil above, probably by Prichard. Square tower with pronounced batter and long-and-short quoins. The stonework is more carefully coursed than the rest of the church and is apparently Victorian work. The tower is featureless until the bell stage which has a 2-light opening with louvres and dripmould to each face. Corbelled out and castellated parapet.
The interior of the church is largely Victorian in character with all the furnishings Victorian except for the C12 tub font and the good C18 wall memorials. The rood-stair is inaccessible. Victorian tower arch, and also the chancel arch, with the plain C12 one set into the north wall around the more westerly window. Possibly C13 double piscina on the south wall. Six-bay arch braced collar roof to the nave and a waggon roof to the chancel, both Victorian. Plaster bust of John Griffiths, Vicar 1848-55, later Archdeacon of Llandaff 1877-87.
