St Mihangel's Church, Medieval church in Llanfair-yn-Neubwll, Wales.
Description
St Mihangel's Church is a medieval church building in the Welsh countryside with a rectangular floor plan and walls of local rubble stone. The roof is supported by five arch-braced trusses, while sandstone dressings frame the windows and doorways.
History
The building dates from the 14th century and may have earlier roots from the 12th century. In 1857, architect H. Kennedy carried out substantial restoration work that secured the structure for future generations.
Culture
The church reflects Welsh ecclesiastical traditions through its simple interior spaces and crafted details from different periods. Visitors can observe the various building styles that shaped the structure over centuries.
Practical
The building sits in an isolated location southeast of Pont Traeth Cleifiog and is reached via narrow paths connecting to nearby farms. Visitors should be prepared for rural path conditions and wear sturdy footwear.
