Description
The church of St Ilid lies just beyond the north-east edge of the village of Crai, set in a triangular churchyard used as a cemetery in the fork of a road-track junction. It is constructed of rock faced sandstone and paler dressings under slate roofs. The church comprises a single chamber nave and chancel under a single roof with three-sided apse, timbered bell-canopy over west gable wall, gabled south-west porch and north-east vestry under a catslide roof. The church is lit through lancet windows, triple lancets in west gable. Stained glass in the nave north window is by Celtic Studios (1983), and in the east window glass dated 1924.
