This very elegant church is situated just a few hundred yards from the ruins of the famous Cistercian Abbey, where the body of Prince Llewelyn is supposed to be buried. Surrounded by stunning countryside, this very welcoming church, they have tea and coffee making facilities, is well worth a visit. After the closure of the Abbey 1536, it was nearly 150 years later that a church was built here. The present structure, in the 12th century Gothic style, was built in 1866. This is a very close community, with the Happy Union public house opposite, the old school on one side, and the Hall on the other. Approached via signposted road off the A483, a few miles north of Llandrindod Wells. Stone from the ruined abbey was used inthe original building, and, according to the diary of the Rev Francis Kilvert 'arches, roof and sculptured figures' were used in the Church at Llanidloes.
