St Peter's Old Church, Llanbedr-Dyffryn-Clwyd, North Wales, UK: C14th church just SW of Llanbedr Hall to which it is linked by a 'coffin path'. Built of sandstone & mudstone it was abandoned in 1863 when a new high Victorian church was built in the village by Poundley & Walker for John Jesse FRS of Llanbedr Hall. The circular churchyard suggests that the site may be an early Celtic foundation. The bellcote is a post-Medieval addition.
