The Church of St Cadoc, is the parish church of Llangattock Lingoed, Monmouthshire, Wales and sits in the centre of the village. It is in the Perpendicular [1] style and is a Grade I listed building as of 1 September 1956. [2]
The church is medieval, of Old Red Sandstone with a stone tiled roof. The nave is quite long, ending in a battlemented tower and turret. [3] The church was extensively restored in the 19th century, including work undertaken by John Prichard, following the collapse of the south wall. [1] The church is dedicated to the Welsh Saint Cadoc.
The interior includes a large wall painting of the early 15th century depicting St George slaying the dragon. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales describes a possible interpretation of the painting as being a reference to the defeat of Owain Glyndŵr by the English at the battles of Campston Hill (1404) and Grosmont (1405), which were fought near to Llangattock Lingoed. [1]
There also remain some 16th-century pews, which John Newman, the architectural historian, describes as "a rare survival." [3] A timber beam with carved vine leaves and grapes is the remaining part of a late 15th-century rood screen. [2] The medieval cross in the churchyard has its own Grade II listing. [4]
