Repairs to St Cadog’s Church, Llangadog

The Repairs to St Cadog’s church Tower are nearly complete. There is some stonework at lower levels around the windows and doors, and along the stringcourse to be replaced, but the bulk of the work has been completed, thanks to our funders HLF, CADW and others listed at the end of this article, and thanks to our local contractors Doel and Rowlands and their team.

If you take a walk around the church now you can see the new repointing of the stonework, and the new French Drain around the base – what you can’t see from ground level is the new roof on the tower, the repaired floor joists in the bell chamber (see photo below), new flagpole, new mesh covers over the louvred openings in the tower, and handrails inside.

The Heritage Lottery Fund have agreed that the electrical wiring in the church can be replaced as part of this project, using contingency funds, because the cable inside the conduits had deteriorated. This work will be undertaken shortly by Martin Rees Electrical Contractors.
