View NE over the River Rhiw & Church Terrace to the C19th tower of St Beuno's Church, Berriew (Aber Rhiew), Powys, Wales, UK. St Beuno is credited with founding the first church here in the C6th. He left for North Wales after seening Saxons on the far side of the River Severn a mile SE of the village. The Medieval church here, in an almost oval chgurchyard at the centre of the village was replaced by a Georgian one in 1803 by architect John Hiram Haycock of Shrewsbury. His grandson, Edward Haycock Jnr., remodelled the church in Gothic revival style in 1876, facing the brick with stone, installing Gothic windows & topping the square W tower with a steep pyramidal spire. The range of houses in Church Terrace used to be a maltings & maltster's house. Many of the properties in Berriew were remodelled in Tudor revival style in the early 1800s (architect Thomas Penson was working here in the late 1830s) by the Vaynor Estate. Parts of the terrace exteriors are genuinely timber-framed, others are faced with bricks painted black and white. The dormer windows are the former loft openings of the malthouse.
