Church in Monmouthshire, Wales
The Church of St Teilo, Llanarth, Monmouthshire, Wales is a former parish church with its origins in the 15th century. Renovations took place in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. It is a Grade II* listed building and is now a redundant church, having closed in 2013.
The church is dedicated to Saint Teilo, a 6th-century Bishop of Llandaff. It is predominantly of the 15th century.[1] John Prichard undertook renovations in 1847.[1] Further work was undertaken by Richard Creed in 1884–5, including the reconstruction of the top of the tower.[2] St Teilo’s is no longer an active church, the high cost of repairs leading to its closure in 2013.[3] In 2023 the Village Alive Trust received a £10,000 grant for a feasibility study on the conversion of the church into a community centre.[4]
