Penallt Old Church is located just outside the village of Penallt, Monmouthshire, Wales. It is a Grade I listed building as of 19 November 1953. [1]
The church dates from the late thirteenth century or early fourteenth century and its dedication is unknown. [2] The main part of the building is medieval, although the base of the tower is earlier, [3] and the porch is later, bearing a date of 1539. [4] The church was restored in 1885-7 and again in 1951. [3] It is constructed of Old Red Sandstone. [2]
The interior has a barrel-shaped ceiling from the sixteenth century and a four- bay Perpendicular arcade. [3] It also contains an elaborate coat of arms of Queen Anne, dating from 1707. [5] The altar table was carved in 1916 by a war refugee from Belgium, who was reputed to be a master carver at St. Rumbold's Cathedral in Mechelen. [6]
Services are still held at the church on Sundays. [7]
