It is a Grade I listed building, notable for its significant Arts and Crafts interior. History and architectureThe church is located on farmland close to the river, about 1 mile north of the village. It was originally medieval but was rebuilt in 1875–76 by the architect John Dando Sedding,[1] commissioned by the local rector, Rev. William John Coussmaker Lindsay (1832–1912).[2] The church now contains some mediaeval features including a font, but is best known for its Arts and Crafts style sgraffito decorations which cover the interior walls.{{sfn|Jenkins|2008|pp=186-7}} These were commissioned by Lindsay at a cost of £500 in memory of his wife Rosamund, and designed by Heywood Sumner.[3] Taking the Benedicite as his theme, Sumner used thin layers of different coloured plaster cut back to reveal colour underneath. His designs included local features, including the River Usk, the Sugar Loaf and nearby Llanvihangel Gobion church tower.[4] Sumner's work was completed in 1888.{{sfn|Newman|2000|p=284}} In the 1980s, the church was declared redundant and threatened with demolition.[4] It was vested in the charity the Friends of Friendless Churches in 1989, and the charity has held the freehold since 22 November 1989.{{sfn|Saunders|2010|pp=60-2}} The charity was supported by the Victorian Society and received financial support from Cadw and the Pilgrim Trust.[4] The wall paintings were restored in 2006-07 in memory of Roy Jenkins.[5] The architectural historian John Newman wrote of Sumner's decoration; "it should make Llanfair Kilgeddin a place of pilgrimage for disciples of the Arts and Crafts movement".{{sfn|Newman|2000|p=284}} GalleryNotes1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.coflein.gov.uk/en/site/222422/details/ST+MARY+THE+VIRGIN+CHURCH%3BLLANFAIR+CILGEDIN/ |title=St Mary The Virgin Church;Llanfair Cilgedin | Site Details |publisher=Coflein |date=2008-02-01 |accessdate=2012-02-12}} 2. ^Rev.
