Newchurch, Powys

Newchurch (Welsh: Llannewydd) is a small rural village in Powys, Wales, centred around St Mary's Church.^[1][2] The village is within the community of Gladestry,^[3] about 5 miles (8.0 km) north of Hay-on-Wye, and is on the Offa's Dyke Path, one of the UK's National Trails.^[4]

The church of St Mary is Grade II listed, and was rebuilt in 1856–57. Francis Kilvert, the Welsh clergyman and diarist, was a frequent visitor.^[5] The adjoining Great House and its barn are also Grade II listed. Great House is described by Cadw as a "late C15 cruck-framed hall house, notable for the great span of its trusses, at 28ft the widest yet recorded in Wales."^[6][7]
