Brief description

Set high above the Wye with a truly great view out over towards the eastern Black Mountains. The nave is originally of the 14th century, the chancel is not much later. Restoration was carried out in 1897 but did not destroy the simple charm of this church. The font is 14th century and the altar rails are 17th century. The old box-pews appear to have been removed, and all that remains are the higher ends against the outer walls.

 

ACCESS

Map reference : SO094447
To find the church turn east over the river onto the B4594 off the A 470 just to the north of the village of Erwood. Follow the road as it climbs steeply up the side of the Wye valley towards Painscastle. Just after it starts to level out, about 2 miles, take a left turn onto an even smaller road, the church is soon visible in front.

The church is usually open for visitors.  

The church is open for worship with usually a service at 11.00 a.m. on the 1st Sunday and 9.30 a.m..

Contact details of the cleric responsible for this church are in the Church in Wales on-line data base.
