Description

Eglwys Dewi Sant, formerly known as the Church of St. Andrew, is an early English Gothic church. Its external walls are made of multi-coloured stone rubble, with bands of bathstone ashlar, and it features slate roofs. The west end has a two-light window with lancet windows on either side, and a gabled former porch, which is now a window, flanked by single light windows. The church has a five-bay nave with low passage aisles and a south porch. The clerestorey windows, made of ashlar, are pierced with two trefoil-headed lights and have quatrefoils above. There is a two-storey bay at the west end of the aisles and a two-light window in the single bay chancel. The east window features three lights with geometrical tracery. The Lady Chapel on the south side and the north transept have paired gabled roofs, each with an oculus and two windows. To the east, on the south side, the roof slopes down over a bay with four round windows. A vestry is located at the northeast angle, and there is a three-window flat-roofed block on the northwest side.

The walls are currently colourwashed. Inside, there is a scissor-braced roof and a nave arcade with Romanesque foliage capitals on low columns, which support superarches that rise to enclose the clerestorey windows. The church features a carved wood reredos with painted panels, as well as painted panels in the Lady Chapel. The pulpit was created by E P Warren in 1886, and the stained glass includes a chancel window by Lavers & Barraud, depicting "Suffer the Little Children" from around 1880, an annunciation in the south aisle from about 1917, and "Adoration of Kings" from around 1923.
