St Pabo's Church, Medieval church in Tref Alaw, Wales.
The rectangular stone structure features rubble masonry walls dressed with freestone, measuring 45 feet in length and 14 feet in width at its core section.
The church dates from the 12th century and contains a 14th-century tombstone slab depicting a king holding a crown and scepter, linked to Pabo Post Prydain.
The interior houses a circular font from the 12th century and several 18th-century memorials, with inscriptions in both Welsh and English languages.
Located near Llyn Alaw reservoir, the church requires visitors to make arrangements in advance as the building remains locked outside of scheduled services.
The churchyard formerly contained a Celtic deity stone known as 'The Llanbabo Devil,' which now resides inside the church for preservation purposes.
