Parish Church of St Cadwaladr

The Parish Church of St Cadwaladr is a 19th-century structure built of coursed liassic limestone rubble with pink sandstone dressings to quoins and relieving arches. The windows are largely from the 19th century, constructed in bathstone, though some earlier windows remain in the chancel, nave, and tower. The church consists of a nave, chancel, west tower, and north porch. The chancel roof steps down from the nave, and both are now clad in modern tiles.

The east window is from the 19th century and features two cusped lights with a quatrefoil at the head. The south side of the chancel has two 14th-century windows with cusped heads, a single lancet window to the west end, and a two-light window with a replaced mullion at the east end. The south side of the nave is lit by two sets of 19th-century windows, each containing three cusped lights set beneath a relieving arch made of alternating pink sandstone and limestone.

The three-stage west tower is tall and dates to the 15th century, featuring a plinth, stringcourses, an embattled parapet, and a 19th-century belfry. The tower has sandstone quoins of diminishing size and a polygonal stair turret to the northeast corner, which rises above the parapet and is lit by five oblong stairlights. Each face of the tower has a two-light, cusped, and louvred belfry window with tracery to the head, beneath an acutely pointed hoodmould with head stops. The west window is large, featuring three lights with ogee tracery beneath a hoodmould with human head stops, set beneath a pink sandstone and limestone relieving arch. The wide west door has complexly moulded jambs and hoodmould, with a 19th-century planked door.

The 19th-century north porch sits on the north side of the nave, at the western end, and is topped with an acutely pointed coped gable with a cross finial. The outer doorway is plain, chamfered and of two orders, while the inner doorway dates to the 15th century, is obtusely pointed with chamfered jambs with stops. The north side of the nave has a single lancet window at the eastern end. The north side of the chancel has a surviving 14th-century lancet window to the right of a small, round-headed priests door, with a 19th-century square-headed window of two cusped lights to the left. A late 18th-century memorial plaque is located above the priests door.

The porch has a 19th-century encaustic tiled floor with flanking stone benches. Internally, the walls have been stripped of plaster. The chancel arch is plain and two orders deep, with four carved heads projecting – two facing the chancel and two facing the nave, depicting a nun, monk, man, and woman. The tower arch is similar, but taller and narrower, and without the heads. To the right of the chancel arch is a blocked niche with a cusped ogee head and flamboyant crocketted top. The 19th-century chancel and nave roofs are boarded with arched principals and collar purlins. The nave has an embattled wall plate with plain timber shields. To the left of the north doorway is a 15th-century five-sided stoup set beneath a niche with an ogee head. The octagonal font is probably from the 14th century, set on a later, square, chamfered base with broached stops. The tower stair doorway is acutely pointed with plain dressed jambs of liassic stone.
