The Journal of Antiquities includes an entry for St Teilo’s Church, Llantilio Pertholey, Monmouthshire (Sir Fynwy). Whilst the church itself is largely 13th century, its crude altar (which used to be a stile!) has two consecration crosses. The Journal gives us background information about the church, adding that there may have been a place of worship as far back as the 8th century. It is known that a holy man named Bevan was a follower of St Teilo (Theliau) who died at Llandeilo-Fawr in Carmarthenshire in 560AD. Bevan is known to have been buried at this site.
The church is recorded as Coflein NPRN 307314 which gives architectural details for the church, including wallpaintings. The Journal adds the church sits in the shadow of Skirrid Fawr, which is considered by the locals to be a holy mountain, gives us a walkthrough of some of the other features of the church, and lists reference sources for more information.
