St Cyngar's Church, Borth-y-Gest
Highlight • Religious Site
Described as 'a dour church' it is made of dark local stone laid in crazy-paving fashion. Small and upright, its plan comprises nave and chancel in one with transepts, the north one heavily buttressed with catslide roof. Pointed windows are in singles, pairs and triplets, all with rectangular lead glazing. A slate-clad porch was added in 1964.
An arch is positioned, curiously, mid-way along the nave. With medieval-style arch-brace trusses and flat wide purlins west of the arch, and a boarded ceiling to the east, it was suggested that the church may have been planned to be longer.
