The Church of St Peter, St Paul and St John is a really old and beautiful church. You can find it in Llantrisant, a town in Monmouthshire, Wales. A famous historian named John Newman called it "a handsome church." It's built in the fancy Decorated style. This church is so important that it has been a special Grade I listed building since November 18, 1980.
Exploring the Church's History
This church has a long and interesting past! It was first built way back in the 1300s. But not much from that time is left today. Only one narrow, tall window, called a lancet window, remains in the main part of the church.
Most of what you see now was built later. This includes parts from the 1400s and 1500s. The church also got a big makeover in 1880 and 1881. This work was done by an architect named E. A. Landsdowne.
