Our simple parish church has been a haven of peace for around a thousand years. The patron saint is the celtic Dyffrig (Dubricius in Latin, and also historically known as Tiburcius here).
His legend, in which water is the common theme, is a mystery of redemption, yet has all the character of a rain charm. You can find the story inside the church. Dyffrig is said to have crowned King Arthur himself.
Brides arrive to be married here by boat to this day, disembarking at the tiny landing stage in the churchyard on the River Wye. The ancient preaching cross is a favourite place for wedding photographs in the shade of the towering trees of the churchyard.
IIt’s not just a pretty spot. The family history witnessed by the inscriptions on the tombstones in the churchyard here spans centuries, and reaches out as far as Canada, and back to descendants of King Charles II. Find out more.
