SN1849 : St Pedrog's Church
taken 9 years ago, near to Y Ferwig, Ceredigion/Sir Ceredigion, Wales
St Pedrog's Church
The church dates from 1842 when an application for a grant was made to the Church Building Society. It was built in 1853-4 to designs of Henry Woodyer, and is considered to be a poor example of his work by an otherwise esteemed Victorian architect. It is constructed of cut grey Cilgerran stone and Bath stone tracery, with tall steeply-pitched slate roofs. It consists of nave and narrower chancel, north vestry and gabled south-west porch. The church was built against the tower of a medieval church. The tower became unsafe and was completely demolished in 1976. A new west wing was built in its place.
