Christchurch

The village church, Christchurch, was designed in 1848 by architect Sir Matthew Digby-Wyatt.

The church was built as a chapel of ease to the parish church of Llangybi. It was conveyed to the Church in Wales in 1861. A fine Victorian church of the Early English style, it comprises a nave and chancel and a western tower of three floors. It has a single bell.
