St Mary's Church, Medieval church in Llanfair Kilgeddin, Wales
The stone church stands near the River Usk with its decorated walls featuring intricate sgraffito panels depicting scenes from The Benedicite hymn.
The church structure dates back to 1301 and underwent reconstruction in 1875 by architect John Dando Sedding, incorporating elements from the original building.
Artist Heywood Sumner created sixteen detailed sgraffito panels in 1888, incorporating local landmarks and natural elements into religious art themes.
The Friends of Friendless Churches organization maintains the building and provides access to visitors interested in examining the medieval architecture.
The church walls display a rare example of sgraffito technique, where layers of colored plaster are cut back to reveal underlying patterns and designs.
