St. Andrew's Church, Presteigne
The Nave, St. Andrews Church, Presteigne.
In 1868 a restoration of the church undertaken by Sir George Gilbert Scott was carried out and he repaired the original roof and wooden belfry but removed the west gallery and added a new nave (shown here), chancel and sanctuary.

Wall Paintings, St. Andrews Church, Presteigne.
We spotted what appears to be some wall painting in the Nave which is in rather poor condition and we haven't been able to find any more information about it.

Tapestry, St. Andrews Church, Presteigne.
In 1737, St Andrew's Church was given a Flemish tapestry from 1510 detailing Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem and is seen hanging on the north wall of the church. It is one of only two pre-English Reformation tapestries to be hung on display in parish churches in the United Kingdom.
