Interior
The Church of the Holy Cross at Mwnt, Ceredigion, Wales, is a parish church[1] and Grade I listed building dating probably from the 13th century.[2]
The building was restored in 1853 and again after storm damage in 1917. A 1912 photograph shows the south windows in different positions.
The interior is a single chamber with deep-set windows and an unusual roof type. The font is 13th century; the hexagonal pulpit is Victorian.
Externally, the church is whitewashed rubble stone walls under a slate roof. The small, enclosed churchyard contains a number of graves; monumental inscriptions are held by Dyfed Family History Society.[1][2]
