A bit out of the way to find but ultimately well worth it in my opinion.. You may have to cross a few fields to reach it but it is a very picturesque church and quiet and peaceful and welcoming (the door seems to nearly always be open). Well worth a look inside for it's quaint respectful warmth and interesting font and wall mountings.

The Old Church of St Afran, St Ieuan and St Sannan in Llantrisant is an isolated, rural church cared for by Friends of Friendless Churches.
Well worth the effort to reach this church. Park in the wider section of the road near the farm and approach on foot. Loop all the way around the farm to find the church.
The church is thought to date from the 14th century, with the construction of the comparatively large South chapel occurring in the 17th century. In 1899, a new church was built nearer the village and the Old Church became redundant. By the late 1930s it was in disrepair and completely derelict and roofless by 1970. It was rescued by Friends of Friendless Churches in 1976 with a thorough restoration project. It is one of the first Welsh churches acquired by the charity.
The small east window, two trefoiled lights with small shield light, is 14th century. There are a trio of memorials, all from the 17th and 18th century. The box pews and pulpit are 19th century. The font is late 12th century and was not originally in this church; it was moved from the Church of St Michael and All Angels in Grove, Buckinghamshire, which itself was made redundant in the 1960s.
