Church of St Illtyd

A pointed arched doorway leads into the nave which has a scissor-braced roof. The small pointed chancel arch of grey stone has C15 dressings, 3 orders of mouldings and narrow attached shafts to the interior jambs with rounded, fluted caps. The nave has a central aisle flanked by benches with curved arm rests and a coloured quarry tile floor. Medieval octagonal font to SW with chip-carved decoration. The S and NE faces depict 2 stylised trees, whilst the E face bears 2 chip-carved circles, one above the other. The remaining sides have large rosettes. Octagonal wood panelled pulpit to L of chancel arch.

Scissor-braced roof to chancel. Choir stalls to each side with wood panelled fronts decorated with blind cusped arches. A pointed doorway leads N into the vestry. The E window has brightly coloured stained glass depicting the Nativity, Crucifixion and Resurrection, of 1868 by Joseph Bell of Bristol. The S windows of the chancel contain similar stained glass bearing the heraldic emblems of the Samuel Gibbon family, a shield to the L and a boar's head to the R.

In the floor of the chancel, between the choir stalls, is an Elizabethan tomb stone dedicated to William Gibbon of Trecastle and dated 1584. A cast iron grave marker is set into the chancel wall at the SW corner, and is dedicated to a later William Gibbon (d 1759) and bears a large heraldic shield in relief. To the R of the vestry door is a stone panel dedicated to the Rev Griffith Griffiths of Eckington, Worcs. (d 1812). He was rector of the parish but mainly absent, the memorial dedicated by those 'who took pleasure in his aquaintance'. Between the S windows of the chancel is a marble wall monument to Robert Savours of Trecastle (d 1818) and other members of his family. A brass plaque over the vestry door is to Private William Lewis who died in the Boer War in 1901. On the N wall of the nave is a large marble tablet to Arthur Jenkin Richards, son of Rev Richards, who was killed in WWI.
