In Kings Turning is this Roman Catholic church of Our Lady of the Assumption and St Therese. Built in a simple Mediterranean style in 1954 by the architect Francis Pollen. Constructed of rendered blockwork on a stone plinth with some stone details. It served as the chapel for the adjacent convent (now a private dwelling - Greenfield House). Listed, grade II, with details at: https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=87528 Presteigne is a market town, set on the south bank of the River Lugg, some 19 miles northwest of Hereford and 16 miles east of Llandrindod Wells. The Welsh/English border wraps around three sides of the town, which probably began as a small settlement around a Minster church. Formerly the county town of the historic county of Radnorshire, it remains quiet, picturesque and unspoilt.
