Church of St Denys

The Church of St Denys is a Grade II* listed building featuring a nave, chancel with a lower roof, an unusually positioned southeast porch, a southwest tower, and a northeast vestry with an extension. It is constructed of stone rubble with ashlar dressings and has a Welsh slate roof. The unbuttressed tower has a saddleback roof and battered walls, with a corbelled string and paired belfry lights set in chamfered square-headed surrounds. The west side features cusped lights, while the tower chamber below has plain, small, single lights. There is a segmental arched doorway of dressed stone on the ground floor. The south wall of the nave is battered towards the base and has two restored square-headed windows with deep reveals on the inside, located west of the porch.

The porch has a chamfered arched entrance, a slate gabled roof, internal benches, and a stone flagged floor, although there is a blocked door. East of the porch, there is a small 19th-century single-light nave window with a cinquefoil head. The southeast wall of the chancel features a square-headed 19th-century window with two cusped lights, while the east window has two lights with quatrefoil tracery beneath a pointed hood. The northeast vestry, which has been extended, includes a window with two cusped lights, but there are no windows on the west or in the north nave.

Inside, the walls have lost their plaster, but the plastered ceiling of the barrelled roof remains. The plain chamfered wide pointed chancel arch is similar to that of the north transept, with both orders dying into single-chamfered imposts. There is a squint between the transept and chancel on the north side, and the windows have deep splays. The tower arch features voussoirs, and while the tower timbers have been renewed, they are chamfered and stopped. The church contains a Benefaction Board from W Davies of Caerphilly, a lozenge-shaped plaque from 1802, and simple early 19th-century plaques on either side of a window. There is a sanctuary statue by Frank Roper from a re-ordering in 1979, and a small octagonal font on a circular shaft. The church is reported to retain three 18th-century bells, possibly cast by Evans of Chepstow.
