Church Of St Tewdric, Medieval church in Mathern, Wales
The Church of St Tewdric features a stone structure with a chancel, nave arcades, and a tower added during the late 15th century renovations.
Dating from 1201, the church was built over the burial site of King Tewdric, who died in battle against Anglo-Saxons around the year 630.
This Grade I listed building contains several monuments dedicated to the Bishops of Llandaff, reflecting its strong connection to Welsh religious history.
The church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its medieval architecture and historical elements throughout the week.
During renovations in the 1880s, workers discovered a stone coffin containing remains believed to be those of Saint Tewdric himself.
