St Teilo's Church

St Teilo's Church is a stone medieval building in Brawdy with a slate roof, double-arched gabled bellcote, and a layout of nave, chancel, and south transept. The structure features stained glass windows from 1926 installed in the east window and transept areas.

The church dates from the 12th century and underwent major reconstruction in 1926-1927 by architect John Coates Carter following Arts and Crafts design principles. This renovation reflected the artistic and craft-focused approach popular in Wales during that period.

The interior holds two stone fonts, one built from local materials and another with an octagonal shape, reflecting how the community performed its baptism practices.

Entry is typically free, but access depends on opening times since the building serves as an active community church. Check ahead about accessibility to ensure your visit aligns with scheduled times.

The building contains a rood screen with a carved Crucifixion scene accessible through a stairway in the north wall. This carved element demonstrates the craftsmanship invested in the original decoration.
