A gorgeous little church tucked away in the green space between the Colcot, Buttrills and Gibbonsdown areas of barry. Unless you were shown you wouldn't know it was there. Credited (and then dedicated) to St Teilo in the 6th century. The current church is Norman, built in the early 13th century, and was consecrated by Bishop William de Burgh of Llandaff in 1250. The church fell into neglect during the reformation period but was fully restored in the late 19th century. In 1970 it underwent renovation: amongst other things, the windows were reglazed and the church was reroofed in Welsh slate. It is now formally dedicated to both Saints Dyfan and Teilo and as recently as 2010 the local parish continued to claim it to be the oldest Christian site in Wales, citing the legends concerning King Lucius. Ideal for the peace, tranquility and beauty it offers to an otherwise chaotic and slightly impoverished end of barry. Frequented by many a photographer, dog Walker and cyclist.
So nice being there
Lovely church even though a little cramped inside
Beautiful church.
