The Rectorial Benefice of Llantwit Major

St Cattwg's Church, Llanmaes

The parish church of Llanmaes is dedicated to St Cadoc (St Cattwg), and although the present building dates back to the 13th century it is of a much earlier Celtic foundation.   St Cattwg's Church is a Grade 2* listed building.  

It consists of chancel, nave, south porch and western tower containing three bells. The chancel and nave are divided by a wooden screen, the surviving part of the original wooden rood screen. The massive Norman font is tub-shaped with roll mountings on the rim.

 On the north wall of the nave is a Medieval wall painting.  Llanmaes was noted in these parts for the long life of many of its inhabitants, and in the registers (dating from 1583) there are a number of people who are reputed to have lived to be more than a hundred years old.

   A full description of this church can be found in the book 'Medieval Churches of the Vale of Glamorgan' by Geoffrey Orrin, published by D. Brown.
