St Andrew's Church, Medieval church in Penrice, Wales
The cruciform structure features a west tower, nave, chancel, and two transepts built with local grey limestone and red sandstone materials.
The Knights Hospitallers received this church as a donation from the Penrice family in the late 12th century, leading to its connection with Slebech Commandery.
The south porch of the church served multiple functions throughout history, including as a venue for parish business and a local schoolroom.
The church maintains regular parish services as part of the Diocese of Swansea and Brecon, welcoming visitors during daylight hours.
The churchyard contains an 1836 Celtic Revival monument dedicated to Captain Sir Christopher Cole, who served as Member of Parliament for Glamorgan.
