Description
The Church of St Illtyd is a Grade II listed building featuring brown rubble construction with slate roofs. It consists of a nave, a lower chancel, and a rendered tower. The tower is topped with a saddle-back roof and has a round-headed west doorway. A datestone on the tower bears the inscription "This stee/ple was made AM/DOM 1636/ Thomas Robt/ (Builder?)."
The nave includes two windows: a camber-headed window to the west and two 2-light Gothic windows. The chancel has a 2-light window on the north side and a 2-light Gothic window on the east side.
On the south side, there is a modern extension that matches the original materials and runs along the entire elevation of the nave and chancel. This extension features a pitched roof next to the nave and a flat roof next to the chancel, with square-headed mullioned windows.
Inside, the nave has a segmental plaster ceiling, while the chancel is supported by two arch-braced trusses. The northwest window in the nave contains stained glass by Frank Roper.
