More about this scene

Although the church is of relatively modern construction – it was built in the mid 1860s - the site has religious significance probably dating back to before the Norman Conquest. At first glance the church's most striking feature appears to be the contrasting steep and shallow pitched roofs; but a closer look identifies the ancient stone column of an Ibric cross (furthest in second row of graves from left), indicative of early Welsh Christianity in the area.
