St Andrew's Church, Pixley Much of the church building is thought to date from the thirteenth century. It is built of local red sandstone on a mound which until fairly recently was surrounded by a moat. The church was extensively restored in 1865. Additional repairs were carried out in the 1980s and again in 2005 when the roof and Victorian turret were renovated. — St Andrew's Church, Pixley Credit: Eirian Evans

Inside St Andrew's Church, Pixley The little white-washed nave is divided from the white-washed chancel by a screen, its entrance arch (only six feet high) made of naturally curved timbers from some great tree. The screen has three bays and the cross-beam has a patch of neat carving; So have the roof beams which match these venerable timbers. There are no iron nails in the screen, which is fastened together with pegs.
