Current Project
St Teilo's Church
Help us save the historic Grade II* listed St Teilo’s Church in Llanarth for community use! Closed since 2013 due to costly repairs, this rare Gothic-style church is now the focus of a feasibility study led by The Village Alive Trust, working with the Church in Wales. We aim to conserve the building and transform it into a hub for exhibitions, concerts, and community events, while preserving its spiritual heritage. Eco-friendly initiatives like solar panels and sustainable churchyard management are also being explored.
