Description

The Church of St. Cadoc is a Grade II* listed building constructed from red sandstone random rubble with ashlar dressings, featuring stone slate roofs. The church includes a nave with a continuous chancel under one roof, a south porch, and a west tower.

The south wall of the nave is divided into three bays, consisting of a porch, a window, and a projection that contains a window and a rood stair. The porch is wide, featuring a slightly pointed arch and a broad gable topped with an apex cross, with a pointed arch south door. The windows are two-light square-headed Perpendicular style, with cinquefoil lights and glazed spandrels; the right-hand window is taller. The north wall has two larger windows. The roof line is continuous from the nave to the chancel, and the original nave roof line is visible on the east face of the tower.

The chancel has a 4-light window of the same style on both the north and south walls, with the south window projecting slightly. The east gable is coped and features an apex cross. The east window is a large 4-light Victorian window in an early Perpendicular style, complete with a hoodmould. Below this window are two small recesses, with the south one appearing to have once been a door.

The tower is tall and square, lacking a stair turret, and has four floors indicated by small windows on the south and west faces. The bell-stage appears to be a later addition or rebuilding, with carefully matched stonework that lacks quoins and differs on all four faces; it has plain bell openings on the east and north faces only. The tower is topped with a conical roof and a ball finial.

Inside, the church is entirely plastered and painted, presenting a very plain appearance. The continuous open roof, added in 1827, is plastered and painted, supported by seven large trusses with raking supports to the collars, wall-plate, ridge-piece, and three tiers of purlins. The top and bottom doors and the rood stair are still present. A possibly late Norman bowl font has been re-set, while other furnishings are by Prichard. The church also contains some medieval tiles, one of which is dated 1456, and several notable wall monuments.
