The Parish Church, which is also known as the Church of St Donat, is seen here in a photograph from c. 1975. The church is a grade I listed building, and was listed in January 1963. An internet source (East Vale Group at http://www.eastvalechurches.org.uk/ChurchWelshStDonats.html ) describes the church’s ‘arched brace truss roof timbers (circa 1500) and 13th century font’ as having contributed to its grade I listing. According to the Welsh St Donats Community Website (at http://www.welsh-st-donats-community.btck.co.uk/ ), the church ‘has been a place of worship for over 800 years’.
