Saint Teilo's Church is a historic building at St Fagans, Cardiff, originally built in the late 12th or 13th century at Llandeilo Tal-y-bont near Pontarddulais, Swansea, before being moved to St Fagans in 1984-5 and opened to the public in 2007. Inside, it's been refurbished to appear as it may have looked around 1530, complete with a rood screen and loft, altars, carvings and brightly-coloured wall paintings, alongside original medieval features such as arch-braced roof timbers and a surviving 14th/15th century stone-mullioned window.
