St Peter & St Cynidr Glasbury

 

I had passed this church a few times  so while coming back from a church I had gone to take a photo of a grave at I thought on this occasion I should stop off and taker a look. I noticed a car outside the doors of the church and had hopes of seeing inside, sadly it was just a lady doing some gardening at the church, the doors were firmly locked.

 Following floods in the mid seventeenth century, the River Wye changed course and the old parish church of St Peter's found itself south (rather than north) of the river and subsequently fell into disrepair. A new one was built still further south in 1661, though the current building dates from 1837. It is now a Grade II listed building.^[13] In 1883, a second church was built north of the river and the Radnorshire side of the village transferred to the new parish of Glasbury, All Saints.^[6] The Old Vicarage, overlooking the river just to the south of Glasbury Bridge, is a hall house dating from the 15th century, and a Grade I listed building.^[14]

I will leave you with this view of the churchyard and the hills of Wales. Hopefully I will manage to see inside sometime
