Llanbebltg Church consists of a nave and chancel, north and south transepts, a western tower, a large chapel to the north of the eastern portion of the chan¬ cel (known as the Vaynol Chapel), a vestry between this chapel and the north transept, and a north porch to the nave. The total length, measuring from the inside of the east wall of the chancel to the west wall of the tower, is 97 ft. 6 in. The breadth of the nave is 20 ft., and that of the chancel is the same. The total length across the transepts is57ft. 6 in., and their breadth is 19 ft. 6 in. The structure is at present undergoing alteration and repair, and since the work has commenced several features of interest have been brought to light, which will be described in the course of this paper. Of the church of the founder, and subsequent struc¬ tures up to the end of the thirteenth century, nothing remains, unless it may be found in the masonry of the bases of some of the walls ; but this is doubtful. There is no moulded work existing of a date previous to the fourteenth century ; but a close examination of the plan of the present church will suggest to us the form of the earlier building. 5th sek, vol. xi. 7
