St Curig’s Church in Llangurig dates from the 14th and 15th century, with significant restoration in the 19th century. Thought to have been founded by St Curig himself in 6th or 7th century, the church was originally a clas, the equivalent of a pre-Norman, native Welsh monastery. The church was controlled by the abbey at Strata Florida by the 12th century and the structure of the tower may also date from this time. Portions of the church’s fabric survives from Perpendicular Gothic remodelling in the 14th and 15th centuries. The barrel vaulted nave ceiling bearing large, carved wooden angels on hammerbeams, is also 15th century. The octagonal font is Perpendicular in style and thought to date from this remodelling. The deep scratches in the stone are said to be from sharpening swords but this may just be fanciful theorising. In 1877, Chevalier Lloyd of nearby Clochfaen Hall gave £11,000 to George Gilbert Scott and Arthur Baker to undertake major restorations of the church. Significant portions of the church were ruinous by the 19th century and were completely rebuilt. Battlements, the spire and stair turret were added to the tower. The screen is a replica of the original medieval screen, produced based on detailed historical sketches. Most of the other timber furniture was added at this time. The dormers on the North wall were built and all the glass was replaced. The current glass was by Burlison & Grylls of London, much of it relating to Lloyd family ancestry. Although it is faded in some places, the glass was one of the first inclusions of borax into the process. A pew near the front of the nave bears a small crown finial and a commemorative plaque stating King George VI worshipped at the church in 1916. The Prince of York at the time, he stayed at Clochfaen Hall after participating as a midshipman and turret gunner aboard HMS Collingwood in the Battle of Jutland, the largest naval battle in the First World War.
St Curig's Church is easy to find its spire dominates the skyline of Llangurig town, there is plenty of parking available. At the time of our visit the grounds were well maintained. For times of worship one is advised to check in advance.
beautifully presented very traditional
