Cwmyoy church, tower at angle with buttress


Cwmyoy is best known for St Martin's Church which has been called the "most crooked church in Great Britain." The church chancel has been described as a remarkable example of a "weeping chancel", where the nave represents Christ's body and the deflected chancel his head fallen sideways in death. At Cwmyoy not only the axis but the whole chancel slews sideways.
