Church of St Dubricius, Medieval parish church in Hentland, England.
Description
The Church of St Dubricius is a medieval church building in Hentland built from squared sandstone blocks. The structure features a tower at the western end, a four-bay nave, and a two-bay chancel with a vestry room and a side aisle.
History
The building was constructed around 1300 and underwent major changes during the late 14th and 15th centuries. Restorer J P Seddon carried out significant repair work in 1853.
Culture
The church is dedicated to St Dubricius, a figure from early Welsh history whose name marks its identity. Inside, the furnishings such as late 17th-century seating and a chancel screen with medieval carved details reflect the long relationship between the building and its community.
Practical
The building is accessible via steps and opens to visitors on certain days when worship services are also held. Arriving early is helpful, particularly on weekends, to get the best access to the interior details and furnishings.
