About
The church was sensitively restored in the 19th century. Nave, chancel and tower are medieval.
The porch is an addition of 1750 (dated).
The church had a minor Victorian restoration of unknown date and little has been changed since.
The village school was held in the tower until 1835.
Furnishings are late Victorian apart from the Norman type bowl font.
Two painted timber hatchments and a very unusual Royal Arms datable between 1816 and 1837 sit over the chancel arch.
The churchyard contains the massive elaborately decorated stone sarcophagus of the Llanover family.
