A simple village church in an ancient elevated churchyard, in a stunning setting with views up the valley and to the surrounding hills.

This medieval church, standing in the grounds of Croft Castle has the most delightful 16th century bell turret with its ogee shaped cupola and rare single-hand clock.

With only a few neighbouring houses for company, the church stands more or less alone on a mound, surrounded by the open farmland of the uplands of Herefordshire.

This is a story of two halves, the first half is about St Leonard's detached tower, which, after examination of is timbers by dendrochronology can be dated very accurately to the winter of 1195-6.

The church of St Gwynog dates back to the 13th century but was largely rebuilt in 1857.
