Description
St David's church is located on the east side of Swansea Road in a rectangular churchyard used as a cemetery. It was built to designs of J.Buckley Wilson (chancel, 1886), and Roderick & Sons (nave and transepts, 1936-7), to replace a chapel of ease built in 1837-8 - but preserving its pre-Ecclesiological Early English style. There is a porch on the west gable below a bellcote.
Interior features include a reredos of mosaic and green marble with vine trails (c.1920?), and stained glass by Powell's (1909) and Celtic Studios (1982).
