St Trygarn's Church, Medieval parish church in Llandrygarn, Wales
St Trygarn's Church is a church building in Bodffordd, Wales, consisting of a single nave with a rectangular floor plan and a collar beam roof structure. Inside, two 18th-century memorial stones commemorate local families: one slate monument for the Morris family and one marble monument for the Hughes family.
The church was founded in the 13th century, with its north doorway being the only surviving original architectural element from that period. During the 19th century, the parish shared a priest with a neighboring church.
The church is named after Saint Trygarn and serves as a gathering place for the local community of Bodffordd. It continues to be used for worship by residents today, with services held in both English and Welsh.
As an active place of worship, the building is best visited while respecting local service times or by attending a service. Since it sits in a small village, it is helpful to check access details in advance.
From 1849 until the arrangement ended, the church shared its priest with a neighboring parish, with the clergyman living in a house supported by Oxford. This unusual arrangement allowed two small communities to maintain their spiritual needs.
