Background

History

The Church of St Cewydd stands in a walled churchyard in the centre of the village of Disserth. The village is dispersed and lies around 4 km south-west of Llandrindod Wells. The church is certainly medieval in date, with Cadw suggesting that the porch is the earliest extant feature. There is uncertainty as to the date of the tower. Cadw records it as "probably 18th century", while noting that earlier dates have been suggested. The church escaped the attention of "improvers" in the Victorian era and retains an interior almost entirely of the 17th and 18th centuries. The church remains an active parish church in the Diocese of Swansea and Brecon and occasional services are held.
