The pulpit. While we were in the church, two electricians were carrying out rewiring work, hence the toolbox/ The church of St John the Baptist dates from the 12th Century, but construction is chiefly from the 14th and 15th Centuries; it is another church on which the Victorian architect Gilbert Scott worked. In the churchyard is the base of an ancient preaching cross, and inside, the WW1 memorial bears int. al. the name of Captain Noel Chavasse, one of only three servicemen to earn two Victoria Crosses.

A church was originally established at Trevethin in the 6th Century by Cadoc (Cattwg), eventually becoming a chapel of ease for Llanover. The 15th Century building was radically altered in the mid 19th Century, only the tower remains from the original building. The grave of Pte Jobbins, a veteran of the defence of Rorke's Drift, was rediscovered a couple of years ago during a clearing of part of the very overgrown churchyard.
