History and architecture
The church is medieval, of Old Red Sandstone. The nave is quite long, ending in a battlemented tower and turret. The church was extensively restored in the nineteenth century, following the collapse of the south wall, including work by John Prichard.
The interior includes a large wall painting of the early fifteenth century depicting St George slaying the dragon. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales describes a possible interpretation of the painting as being a reference to the defeat of Owain Glyndŵr by the English at the battles of Campston Hill (1404) and Grosmont (1405), which were fought near to Llangattock Lingoed. There also remain some sixteenth century pews, "a rare survival."
