Church of St David

The church is entered by a large south porch with side benches and a two-bay C19 roof. Nave with two blocks of late C19 pews; timber floor. Boarded ceiling; exposed quoins to the C19 windows. Tub font (scraped) near south door, on a single step. Low obtuse arches to tower and to chancel. The chancel arch has a small corbel at springing level each side. Simple carved Gothic pulpit at left, with a small blind arch in the chancel wall behind. One step up to chancel. Oak communion rails with twisted balusters. Sanctuary paved in large quarry tiles. Memorials include, in the chancel, at left, a figured marble memorial to William James of Burriss Green [1746], and Elizabeth his daughter; pink limestone memorial (with curious errors and corrections of spelling) to Silvanus Prosser, Rector of Port Eynon and Vicar of Llanddewi [1737]. At the right of the chancel a simplified classical pedimented memorial with battered pilasters to Anne Phillips [1833]. In the nave a brass plaque to those killed in the Great War, and another to R James, churchwarden 1958-81. A list of incumbents since 1576 is displayed.

Tower, nave, chancel and south porch, plus a small modern infill at the north west corner. Local rubble or axe-dressed masonry with surviving early windows in sandstone; C19 restoration windows, gutter corbels and coped gables with cross finials in oolitic limestone. Nave and chancel walls battered at foot. Slate roofs with tile ridges. The masonry techniques of the chancel, tower and porch differ a little from that of the nave. The tower is small but is a feature of the church, with its transverse saddleback roof. The masonry has been much repaired in red sandstone at the higher levels, and the top is perhaps largely restored. Parapets project to east and west on a corbel of stone billets. Steeply pitched slate roof with raised gables. C19 belfry lights to north and south; slit windows below to north and south. In the north of the nave is a small re-opened round-headed lancet with restored sill and in the north of the chancel a cinquefoil-headed lancet and a walled up two-light window with Y tracery. Small ogee-pointed window in south wall of nave, east of porch. Two-light mullion window in west wall of nave at high level, with lintel. The windows of the C19 or C20 restorations include the east window, in Decorated style, of three lights, with unstopped label. To the south of the chancel a two-light window with Y tracery; to the south and to the north of the nave a two light window with top roundel. The doorway to the porch has a sandstone pointed arch; chamfer externally with ogee stops at foot; rebated inside, but door missing. The inner doorway has an equilateral pointed arch with slight chamfer carried down to ground. Side benches in the porch. Sundial with iron gnomon over the outer arch of the porch. Built into the external walls are memorial slabs to Elizabeth Taylor [1764] and Matthew Jones [1737], to the east side of the chancel, and to Sarah Willis [1817] and others, on south side of the tower.
