New Radnor is a small village along the A44 going through Wales It also has the remains of a castle on the hill over looking the village. I used to drive past on my way to my Caravan in Frorest fields campsite and every time I kept saying I must stop off and take some photos.
along the path in you see this small cottage.
And looking round to the right you see the church up on the hillside.
The churchyard has many old headstones
Some older looking than others.
and some with wonderful carvings on
The church is not so easy to photograph from the outside with no wide angle lens but the chancel end looks impressive.
Nearby you find even older graves
getting covered in moss and ivy
others in the shade of the trees.
Inside was a bit of an eye opener
The alter and cross in the chancel
The Altar rail and kneelers
Behind the altar you can see the chancel window
even the chancel ceiling was stunning to look at.
This was the first hand bier I had seen
Like other churches there was a bequest on the wall
The pink Organ
On the way back up the chancel you saw a organ loft with a pink painted organ
The church looks plain from the outside but inside is worth looking at.

«Louis» posted a church that looks like the agitator of a washing machine. :-)
oh I love this tour..
so sad to see the grounds left unkempt - a typical condition when congregations age.
but the interior is stunning and pure delight to visit - TY for sharing!
How would you find at list of vicar's at this church
John Trevor Williams
Most churches have a list of past vicars on a plaque but it was a while ago I was in this church so I could not say if it had one. You coul dtry emailing the church.
I believe my 3x Great Grandfather, James Niblett 1796-1880 was the stonemason who built this church. He lived in Church House His grave is near the church door.
Thank you for all the photographs
