Partrishow church, Powys, South Wales
Partrishow church is situated on the southern slopes of the Gader Range with a wonderful panoramic view of the lower Grwyney Fawr, it has a peaceful beauty all of its own and as you enter the church you are welcomed with that familiar smell of dampness associated with old country churches. One of the treasures of Partrishow is the exquisite Rood Screen, which is carved out of Irish Oak. At the rear of the church you will see an unusual dugout parish chest carved out of a solid tree trunk, with iron bands around it and three locks, it was used for the safe keeping of parish valuables. The Rector and church Wardens each held a key to one of the three locks, so the chest could only be opened when the three were present.
