St Padarn's Church, Medieval church in Llanbadarn Fawr, Wales.
The church displays Gothic architectural elements with a large tower, pointed arches, and stone crosses that demonstrate both Irish and Viking influences.
Established in the early 6th century, the church evolved from a Welsh monastic center to a Benedictine priory before becoming a parish church in 1538.
The church maintains bilingual services in Welsh and English, preserving the linguistic traditions of the region through regular worship activities.
Visitors can attend services at 10:00 AM in Welsh and 11:15 AM in English, with the church remaining open daily from 09:30 AM until 4:00 PM.
The two-acre churchyard contains the grave of Brigadier-General Lewis Pugh Evans, who received the Victoria Cross during World War I.
