Heritage listing
St Cedwyn's Church at Llangedwyn was formerly in the historic county of Denbighshire but since 1996 has been within the Montgomeryshire Shire Area of Powys, Wales. St Cedwyn's was a chapel of ease of Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant. Llangedwyn is 7 miles south-west of Oswestry and to the south of the Berwyn Mountains. Saint Cedwyn may have been a son of the 5th century saint and princess Saint Madryn. The church was extensively restored in 1869–70 by Benjamin Ferrey under the patronage of Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn of Llangedwyn Hall, but incorporates medieval masonry in its west and east walls, and also retains a Romanesque-revival porch of c.1840, very probably by Thomas Penson.

There is no external differentiation between the nave and chancel. The north wall has re-used stone at lower levels; there are also two horizontal bands of dressed sandstone (probably Cefn stone) blocks along the complete length of wall. Three Gothic windows with two lights and a quatrefoil are above, in pale sandstone. There are hoodmoulds with head stops, all different. There are two buttresses with ornamented coping stones. The east or chancel window has three stepped, lancet lights under a two-centred arch and a hoodmould with foliate stops, and above this is a relieving arch of dressed freestone.
