Churches which still retain west gallery features or connections |
|
|---|---|
| Disserth, St Cynllo | The absence of 19thC restoration has left an interesting interior with box pews, west gallery and decked pulpit of the early 18thC together with wall paintings and some monuments, and from an earlier age, the font and fragments of the rood screen. |
| Llanbister, St Cewydd | A nave and chancel in one, a tower at the east end abutting chancel and set deep into the side of the slope, and a south porch. The church is oriented north-west/south-east. Gallery dated 7 July 1716. Beneath the wall painting is a case containing parts of musical instruments used by musicians in the gallery. |
| Llanfihangel Helygen, St Michael | ". . . the pews and three-decker pulpit were brought here from another, unnamed, church in the early part of the last century." |
