Saint Illtyd's Church - Parish of Newcastle - Bridgend, Wales is Steeped in history, a Victorian decorated, Gothic rebuilding of an early 14th Century church. The churchyard is entered through a lychgate. The building is well maintained and the surrounding graveyard is a well kept chapter of history.

"There has been worship on this site for almost 900 years (the first recorded priest was Fr Gilbert in 1153). Though language and ritual has changed much in that period, the intention is the same as it was at the Last Supper". Text Source: (visit link)
