The Church of St Illtyd, Mamhilad, Monmouthshire, Wales, is a parish church with its origins in the 11th century. Renovations took place in the 19th century and again in 1999–2000. It is a Grade II* listed building and an active parish church.

History

The church dates from the medieval period but the building fabric cannot be dated with certainty.[1] Mention of the church is made in a record of 1100.[1] The existing features are late medieval, or of the restoration undertaken by John Prichard and John Pollard Seddon in 1864–1865.[1] A further restoration took place in 1999–2000.[1] The church remains an active church in the parish of Mamhilad with Monkswood with Glascoed.[2]

Architecture and description

The church is built of Old Red Sandstone rubble.[3] The style of the existing fabric is Perpendicular.[3] The church comprises a nave, chancel, two porches and a bellcote.[1] Cadw describes the rood loft as a "great rarity"[1] and the listing record for the church's Grade II* designation notes the "extremely fine and rare rood-loft".[1]
