Disgrifiad

St Teilo's church is a thirteenth century church which originally stood on the bend of a river near Pontardulais in Glamorgan. The church was home to some exceptionally important wall-paintings which were painstakingly recorded by the Royal Commission prior to the dismantling and re-erection of the derelict church in the Museum of Welsh Life, St Fagans (NPRN 31920), by the National Museum Wales. They included two phases of extensive figure painting, a Tudor Royal Arms and blackletter texts: Welsh in the nave and English in the chancel. Also recorded were C18th English texts and inscriptions from 1715, along with the Hanoverian Royal Arms in the nave (possibly also dating to 1715) and on boards dating to 1758.
