Llangeview Church This is must have been a tranquil spot, now somewhat marred by the proximity of the A449(T). The setting is still beautiful though.

In 1999, following a declaration of redundancy, the church passed into the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches who preserve it as a place of quiet contemplation for the local community and for visitors to enjoy. <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.friendsoffriendlesschurches.org.uk" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.friendsoffriendlesschurches.org.uk">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>
