Church of St Gredifael

Entry to the church is through the pointed arched, inner porch doorway. The nave has an exposed roof of 6 bays, the chancel 4 bays, and both retain repaired C16 pegged archbraced trusses; with diagonally set tongue and groove panelling to chancel. The pointed chancel arch is of 2 chamfered orders with corresponding responds and plain chamfered imposts and bases. The arch to the N chapel is an early C15 pointed arch of 2 hollow-chamfered orders with chamfered responds.

Set into the S wall of the chancel is a late C14 or early C15 sedile; with hollow chamfered jambs and a pointed arched head. Above the sedile is a stone carved with a shield bearing the Tudor arms, similar to the 2 stones on the outside E wall of the chancel; c1400.

The sanctuary is raised by 2 steps, with a moulded rail on trefoiled panels. The reredos is of cusped ogee-headed panelling. The E window central window bears an image of the crucifixion; with Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in the surrounding windows.

The N chapel (or Tudor Chapel) has a late C15 or early C16 beam refixed at the base of the roof which bears carved conventional running leaf ornament and is thought to have been part of a former gallery.

The chapel contains a late C14 alabaster tomb which was formerly sited in the chancel and thought to have come originally from the destroyed friary church at Llanfaes following the dissolution. The altar-tomb bears recumbent effigies of the recumbent figure of Gronw Fychan and his wife. The tomb has a moulded base etched with the outlines of weepers, and alternating canopied and cinquefoiled panels containing suspended shields; the shields at the sides bear the faintly scratched arms of Tudor, 2 others at the heads of the effigies bear the arms of the Passion. Gronw Fychan is depicted wearing armour with a surcoat bearing the Tudor arms, his wife in costume of the period; both have their heads resting on cushions held by angels and their hands in prayer, Gronw has his feet resting on a lion, his wife's feet rest on two dogs.

There is also a C15 altar tomb set into a recess in the N wall of the chapel; the tomb has plain sides with a chamfered base and moulded top slab, the recess has moulded jambs with attached shafts which have moulded capitals and a pointed arch with an ogee moulded label with scroll terminals, crocketted finial and side pinnacles. In the SE corner of the chapel is a simple altar tomb to Richard Hughes of Bryngo d1715.

The window in the chapel is early C15 and bears a Tudor Rose, representing the Houses of Lancaster and York, over a portcullis which represents the arms of the Beaufort family. Around the window is the motto: UNDEB FEL RHOSYN YW AR LAN AFONYDD AC FEL TY DUR AR BEN Y MYNYDDD (Unity is like a rose on a river bank and like a house of steel on top of a mountain); the 'TY DUR' being a pun on the name TUDOR.

There are C17 and C18 memorials to: Mary, daughter of Rowland Bulkeley of Porthamel d1683, bearing the Bulkeley arms; Conningesby Williams d1707 bearing the arms of Ednyfed Fychan; to CW d1707; and to Harri Williams d1783.

The fittings are mid C19, the pew ends bear fleur de lys - thought to be a reference to Katherine de Valois (wife of Henry Tudor). To the rear of the church is an enclosed area faced with ogee headed panelling; double doors open into the area where the font stands, which is flanked by 2 'rooms' which form the vestry.

The late C14 or early C15 font is a plain octagonal stone bowl with chamfered base.

Simple rural church in early Decorated style comprising nave and chancel with N chapel off the nave and SW porch. Built of roughly dressed gritstone masonry, coursed, with large quoins and raking plinth; some Norman carved stones of chevron pattern are built in to the S wall of the chancel. Roof of thin slates with stone copings and gable apex cross finials. West gable bellcote for 2 bells surmounted by a cross finial.

Both nave and chancel retain many original windows and doorways. The E chancel window has 3 trefoiled ogee lights with tracery in a pointed arched frame. In the N wall are 2 windows, with paired trefoiled lights in a square frame; the S wall E window is similarly detailed, the other has a single trefoiled light. Between the 2 S windows is an original, pointed arched doorway with chamfered jambs with broach-stops.

The N wall of the nave has an original single trefoiled light and another window formed by the partially blocked doorway with chamfered jambs; the upper part rebuilt as a round head. The S wall has a single window, its detail similar to the paired lights of the chancel; the pointed arched, S doorway has quarter round moulded jambs. The W window has 3 trefoiled lights in a pointed arched frame; the central light has a battlemented transom.

The N chapel and the SW porch were both added to the nave in the early C15 and both have original windows in the E walls of single trefoiled lights, the chapel window in a square frame; the outer porch doorway is a pointed arch with chamfered jambs and a moulded label.
