Given 5 stars purely because I love old Welsh buildings. Its off the beaten track but not far from the A55. You'll need waterproof shoes to get to this church, the road on google is a dirt track overgrown with very long grass, when I visited at about 1pm on a warm sunny day in August, the dew hadn't evaporated! So I got wet feet. I will be going back again, very peaceful and calm place.
The oldest part of the church is tucked behind the pews at the west end. It’s a big rectangular font, and was possibly carved as early as the 11th century. There’s decoration on three sides: blind arcading, a chevron frieze, a chequer-board panel and a ringed cross
A quite glorious little country church that is signposted and not too hard to find. Minimal layby parking nearby. Some quite stunning headstones and monuments in the church grounds and can be so peaceful and reflective in the Summer when you can see and hear buzzards calling as they ride the thermals overhead as well as a multitude of other birds nearby. The church is at the end of a well maintained and neat grass track but only try to get a vehicle right down to the church if that vehicle has a lot of ground clearance as you may hit the underside of your average hatchback on a deceptive tarmac lip where the road meets the grass track down to the church but that asides this church is well worth looking for.
St Peulan’s Church in Llanbeulan is said to have been founded by St Peulan himself in the 7th century. Little is known of this student of St David and disciple of St Cybi and the exact date of this church’s foundation is not known. Nothing but the name of this first church survives. The current stone church on the site dates from the 12th century, with the nave and side chapel added in the 14th century. There is evidence of work from each century in the church, some easier to spot than others, largely late medieval windows, early modern memorials and Georgian and Victorian memorials. All the plain timber furniture within the church is 19th century, as are the colourful Welsh language decalogue and Lord’s Prayer boards on the west wall of the nave. The best feature of this church is the unusual, trough-like font. Thought to be a pre-Norman survival, the font bears complex carvings on three sides. The front bears a cross and chevron banding, one side bears a chequer-work patter and the other ornate blind arcades. It is thought this font is unique in Wales, perhaps in Britain. The church is redundant and has been cared for by the Friends of Friendless Churches since 2005.
Love this place...location of this church is just incredible...
Lovely church
