Church of St Dochdwy

The Church of St Dochdwy is a Gothic Revival church built in the 18th century. It features a nave with a small west porch, north and south aisles, a southeast tower over an organ chamber, a short chancel, and a north vestry. The church is constructed from snecked rubble lias limestone with freestone dressings, and has slate roofs with crucifix finials at the gable apexes, moulded kneelers, coping, parapets, corbelled eaves, and low buttresses with stepped coping. The windows are pointed-arched, with the main windows displaying Geometric tracery incorporating trefoils, quatrefoils, and cinquefoils, and feature hoodmoulds. A plinth runs along the base of the building.

The west front has a wide, five-light traceried window above a shallow-gabled porch with continuous roll-moulding to the pointed entrance arch. The porch interior has brick facings, a 18th-century tombstone, and a segmental arch to the west door, with lancets at the aisle ends. The south aisle, which has a separate roof pitch, features three three-light traceried windows. The tall, dominant southeast saddleback tower has roundels in the apex and paired louvred lancets below. It also has two-light or single traceried, louvred openings to the belfry, string courses, and a narrow, shouldered doorway at ground level (accessible by six steps and stairs leading down to a basement). The chancel has a lancet at the southeast and a four-light east window with a pronounced moulded sill band. The vestry at the northeast has a similar doorway and stairs to a basement. The north aisle is similar to the south aisle.

The interior is finished with red brick and polychrome brick decoration, particularly noticeable in the spandrels of the nave arcade, and yellow freestone dressings. The nave has a six-bay roof of arched-braced trusses rising from corbels and pierced with quatrefoils, a lower longitudinal beam, and a boarded ceiling. The three-bay arcades consist of round piers, roll-moulded arches and wide capitals in the form of a cornice. There is no clerestory. A doorway to the organ chamber at the southeast is in Romanesque style and may incorporate Romanesque chevron-moulded masonry with plain imposts. At the southwest stands a plain round font with a conical cover, set on a stone and tile platform. The flooring is boarded except for the flagged aisles. A chest is located at the southeast of the nave, and Royal Arms at the northwest. The pointed, moulded chancel arch lacks piers; the inner moulding rises from corbels with foliage enrichment. A plain stone pulpit with a foliage band is present. The chancel has a ribbed roof and a moulded band extending over the vestry door. The Father Willis organ in the south chamber retains a plaque from Henry Willis and Sons. A wooden reredos incorporates a war memorial, and the chancel stalls date from 1934.
