St Fraed's Church

Church and churchyard

[edit]

The church of St Ffraed is a Grade II listed building.[4] It was largely restored in 1690 and was completely rebuilt in 1885 by the architect Stephen W. Williams.[5]

The parish is the burial place of the poet Henry Vaughan (1621–1695), who was born in the hamlet of Scethrog within the parish. Vaughan's grave in the churchyard, on the slopes of a hill known as Allt yr Esgair or simply The Allt,[6] overlooks the River Usk. The poets Siegfried Sassoon, Roland Mathias, Brian Morris and Anne Cluysenaar were all inspired to write poems by their visits to the grave. Sassoon's "At the Grave of Henry Vaughan" is the best-known of these and is read every year at the graveside following the Vaughan memorial service.[7]

Another grave of note in the churchyard is a Grade II listed tomb erected for the Gwynne-Holford family, residents of nearby Buckland Hall (see below).[8] The family included James Gwynne-Holford, Conservative member of parliament for Brecon (died 1886).[9]

Vaughan's twin brother, Thomas Vaughan, became rector of Llansantffraed in about 1644.[10] He was forced to vacate the position in 1650, on grounds that included his having been on the Royalist side during the English Civil War.[11]

Other buildings

[edit]

The Old Rectory, which stands close by the church to the northwest, is a Grade II listed building, with an estimated date of late 18th century. It is thought to have been built as a hunting lodge for the Buckland estate and converted into a rectory in the 19th century, but was released by the church during the 1950s. It later became a guest house.[12]

Buckland Hall
