St Eugrad's Church, Medieval church building in Llaneugrad, Wales.
Description
St Eugrad's Church is a medieval church building in Llaneugrad constructed from rubble masonry with gritstone dressings and topped by a slate roof. The west gable displays a striking 17th-century bellcote that defines its exterior character.
History
The building dates from the Middle Ages and contains a 12th-century chancel arch along with a 13th-century crucifixion stone. Later changes took place during the 16th and 19th centuries, shaping its current appearance.
Culture
The church holds numerous memorials from the 18th and 19th centuries honoring members of the Williams family who were tied to the local estate. These monuments reflect the family's social importance in the community across multiple generations.
