Church Of St John The Baptist, Medieval church in Llanblethian, Wales.
The Church of St John the Baptist stands with a western tower constructed in Somerset style, featuring diagonal buttresses and a polygonal northeast stair.
Records from a mid-12th century charter document the church as a possession of Tewkesbury Abbey, with architectural elements confirming its origins.
The stone effigy inside the church depicts a figure with a greyhound, while a memorial tablet from 1763 honors the parents of Sir Leoline Jenkins.
The church contains six bells in its tower, which underwent restoration and rehanging procedures in 1994.
During restoration work in the 1890s, workers discovered approximately 200 skeletal remains in a crypt beneath the vestry area.
