SN9790 : St Michael's Church, Trefeglwys
taken 2 years ago, near to Trefeglwys, Powys, Wales
The church was founded by Bleddrws in the second quarter of the 12thC, when it was referred to as a 'monasterium', perhaps indicating some monastic link.
The current building dates from 1863-5.
The timber bell frame and supports (perhaps of the 17thC) were retained from the earlier church, as was a 15thC bell. But otherwise none of the early furnishings and fittings have been preserved. The building is set in a large, low-lying, sub-rectangular churchyard, with memorials from the late 18thC.
