Notes 1. St Ca[d]march's church occupies a spur above the River Irfon, about 11 km south-west of Builth Wells. The original foundation was probably an early medieval one but the present church is a completely new edifice of the early 20thC, built on a new site. It contains nothing from its medieval predecessor other than the old font bowl and an early medieval stone built into the porch. New church built in 1915-16, perhaps with some re-use of earlier masonry.

2. A 15th century font lies in W D Caroe's new church of 1913-16. [Extracted from The Old Parish Churches of Mid-Wales by Mike Salter, published 1991, Folly Publications, Malvern; ISBN 1-871731-11-9]
