Eglwys Oen Duw roughly translates to The Church of the Lamb of God. I noticed it many years ago when I drove past with my wife on our way to visit The Llyn Brianne Reservoir. I thought at the time I must try and visit some time, it took a few years but I finally managed it. I can find no history but it is a Victorian Church built in 1867
The one thing that stand out with the church is the central spire
You enter the churchyard by going over this bridge, at least that is whet they did when it the church was first built. There is a car park to my left now
Around by the East end of the church
West end with new church rooms to the left
The church rooms which look very smart compared to others I have seen

We drove past there yesterday and it was very busy with a funeral happening - local farmer I should think. Lots of cars parked up so plenty of people paying him tribute. You have done the church proud with your photos. Thank you.
What a beautiful church. The font and central spire are unusual. Some lovely stained glass especially the windows in the porch.
The stained glass appeals to me.
Interesting entrance. Your interior shots are great.
The first stained glass appears very modern...lovely. #PictorialPotourri

Another interesting Church visit. Love when the sun shines through stained glass windows. Thanks for sharing.
Some interesting shots - Thanks for sharing and for linking up with #MySundaySnapshot.
Thank you, so lovely and comforting to read this. On my walk (when visiting my parents who’ve live in Beulah over 20 years), I’ve passed by and popped in a few times. More recently my father passed away rather suddenly in Oct 2023 and in Nov was buried in the churchyard. We had a lovely funeral there. I even purchased some photos from Andrew Dally ( local photographer ) of the church in the Autumn to keep in my home in Dorset. V much enjoyed reading this. Thanks again. Deborah Howard.
My pleasure, I'm glad you enjoyed it. If you want any photos I can send you them if you leave an email address, I will not publish it as the comments are moderated.
