"The Church of St Cattwg, Llanmaes, dates to 13th century and was built on Celtic foundation. The church features a wooden rood screen, three bells, medieval wall paintings, and a Norman font.
The present building is first mentioned in a document of 1254, although it is believed to be a much earlier Celtic foundation. It is a Grade 2* listed building and consists of chancel, nave, south porch and a western tower, added in 1632, containing three bells.
Pre-reformation murals that have escaped damage were recently exposed during renovations. A wooden screen, the surviving part of the original wooden rood screen, divides the chancel and nave. The church holds a massive Norman stone font, tub-shaped with roll mountings on the rim.
The Churchyard holds a stone cross of circa.15th Century. It is a stone Calvary or churchyard cross base, made up of four steps similar in nature to crosses found in other churchyards across the Vale of Glamorgan. A modern cross is set in the original socket stone." Text Source: (
