Address

Colva
Powys
HR5 3RA

The church is basically 13th century, but with 15th century century additions, including the deep timbered porch with stone seats.

Inside, 18th century memorials on the walls overlay traces of earlier wall paintings, and a skull and crossbones is a reminder of mortality. The font is 12th century, probably from an earlier church that stood in this remote, beautiful place.
