Like most communities in this area, Meifod has new housing developments. How pleasant to have this view at the bottom of the garden.

Dist:0.1km<br/>I think this stream has been channelled to suit the farmer (and, possibly, the developer). The sheep seem to make good use of the footbridge.

Dist:0.3km<br/>At least, that's what it says on the foundation stone but a sign by the door says Capel Seion. See also [[518698]].

Dist:0.3km<br/>I think this neglected building in the north west corner of the churchyard is the original school, built in 1821 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/518715 . The village shop is shown in reflection.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Built in 1821 and one of the first National Schools in the County, the building could certainly do with some attention. It stands in the northwest corner of the nine acre churchyard surrounding the church of St Tysilio & St Mary http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/518725

Dist:0.3km<br/>Standing in its nine acre churchyard the original church of St Mary is said to have been built by Madoc ap Meredydd in 1154. The oldest relic in the church is a carved stone coffin decorated with Norse knots and animals, thought to be a memorial to a Prince of Powys of the 11th or 12th century.
