Dilwyn - St Mary |
 |
| Church is open daily
but not always so check. I did not receive a reply to my email
and there are no contact details on the notice board. Park
somewhere in the village. It was closed on our first visit but
open the following day when we were visiting a church nearby.
Take car: there is a step down immediately on entering the
church. O/S Ref: SO 415 547 |
 Knight early 14th century; said to be Sir Gilbert Talbot (1274) although he is said to be buried in Wormsley Priory, which appropriated the church in 1274 |

Six medieval effigies and an incised slab lie crowded together on the floor under the tower at the west end of the church; they were certainly in this position at least at the time of the RCHM survey. With the exception of the miniature effigy, which is in the usual position, the other six monuments are orientated in a north-south position, heads towards the south. They are protected by a low iron railing. Their being so close, the lighting and various obstructions make them rather difficult to photograph. The first picture below shows the head of the north effigies and the feet of the south effigies, to give an overview. The miniature effigies between them is shown to indicated the size difference. |

 |
| Above and right is the northern group of effigies. Top left shows the knight and two ladies together and top right the miniature effigy; Bottom left shows the two ladies and bottom right the knight. The RCHM writes thus: [3] Man and his two wives, from the Edefen family, early 14th century. The shield is charged with the arms of Edefen. His feet rest on both a lion and dog. [5] Miniature effigy or girl or woman. Early 14th century |
 |
 |
| Above right are the southern effigies and an incised slab which is east of the effigies. [4] The effigies of a man and woman of c. 1300. Very similar to [3] above but the man's feet rest on a lion only and the shield is not charged. Above right: The incised slab which is east of the effigies, on which is inscribed: 'Hic jecet Dna. Matild. que condam fuit uxoris Dni. Thome. de Eddefen. - Ubiqū. d'centib. pr. ave p. aiā. Matil. de Yddefn. Dns. Epus. Hareford con cedutr. LX dies wenie. - Ubiqū dicentib. př ave p. aiā.

| Note: In RCHM Herefordshire this village, which is in the hundred of Wormelow, is listed in Vol. I to be with all of the villages of that hundred in the List of Hundred and Parishes just before the actual inventory.

King's Pyon - St Mary |
 |
| King's Pyon is best approached from the
A4110 from the east rather than from the yellow roads from the
west. Scattered parking in the village around the church. The
church is locked so you will have to contact the incumbent to gain
entry; the church will be then left open for you on the relevant
day. Note: the heavy wooden door in the porch leading into the
church needs to be carefully opened: it opens inwards but hits
an inner lighter door when you try to open it. Somewhat
surprisingly the wood door folds inwards against itself: you can
then open it and be able to open the inner door, which also
opens inwards. O/S Ref: SO 438 506 |

| The church is open and towards the edge of
the town but signposted. There appeared to be no nearby parking
but some men working on the church gate told us it was in
order to drive into the church yard where there are a few
parking spaces. The eagle eyed will be able to spy the corner of
my camera bag on the parking area to the right of the photograph
