Church of St Tegfedd

The Church of St Tegfedd is a Victorian church constructed from squared rock-faced blocks of local sandstone and features a roof made of stone slates with ridge tiles. The building consists of a nave, a gabled west porch, and a chancel, all of which are small and very plain in design. The porch includes a principal rafter truss from the 17th century with two tiers of purlins, and it may date from that time or have been rebuilt using the existing roof. The door within the porch is also from the 17th century or older, featuring four panels with strips applied over the joints, and is set in an altered chamfered arch, of which at least the head has been rebuilt. Above the porch gable, the east gable of the nave has two bells, which are believed to date from 1705 and 1876. The steeply pitched roof is adorned with bargeboards.

The south wall of the nave contains three possibly 17th-century, 2-light chamfered windows with lattice panes, while the north wall features two genuine lancets and a central copy. The chancel has a slightly lower ridge and a lesser roof pitch, with the south wall showcasing a priest's door and a 2-light window, and the north wall having a lancet. The east wall remains original and has a 3-light window with arched lights under a square head and hood, which may date from 1541.

Inside, the chancel arch is inscribed and provides a history of the current building. The interior is entirely plastered and painted, except for the stone of the semi-circular keyed and chamfered chancel arch. Many fittings and the arch-braced collar roofs date from 1875-1876, but there are earlier features, including a range of early 19th-century box pews on the north side, which is a rare survival in south Wales. The font may be medieval, although its parts do not seem to fit together, and the pulpit is from the 18th century. The church also contains several fine 18th-century wall monuments with well-cut lettering, including a notable one dedicated to David Williams, who died in 1729.
