Having started as a mission church in 1890, the current permanent church, designed by William Leah, was built in 1938.
Broadwell, Gloucestershire
Before the 19th century, the Royal demesne land of the Forest of Dean was extra parochial and had no churches. Missions to the villages of the Forest were established by the some churches on the outskirts of the Forest. In 1890 services were held in Broadwell school and in 1891 an iron mission church, dedicated to the Good Shepherd, paid for by voluntary contributions, was erected next to the school. It was replaced by a permanent church in 1938.
The old iron building was retained as a church hall. Now aptly named the Evergreen Hall, it is in regular use for community events. The Good Shepherd is a simple stone building, much loved by its worshippers who still have strong links to its mission history.

Cyrhaeddir yr eglwys hon trwy deithio naill ai ar hyd lonydd troellog sy’n gyforiog o flodau, neu ar hyd llwybr troed. Wrth gyrraedd, fe welwch yr eglwys ganoloesol hon yn sefyll ar lethrau’r Grwyne Fawr, yn edrych heibio cwm bychan at lethrau Mynydd Pen-y-Fâl yr ochr draw.
Capel y Ffin, Powys
Lleolir eglwys Sant Mair, Capel y Ffin yn nyffryn cudd yr afon Honddu, gyda’r Mynyddoedd Du i’r gorllewin iddi a Chlawdd Offa i’r dwyrain. Mae’n fan lle mae celfyddyd a thirwedd yn ymdoddi i’w gilydd – ac nid yw’n syndod felly iddi ddenu arlunwyr a beirdd am ganrifoedd.
Marshfield, Gwent
Mae Eglwys St Mair, Maerun, yn eglwys brydferth sy’n dyddio nôl i’r ddeuddegfed ganrif. Yn nythu’n glud yn y llain las rhwng Caerdydd a Chasnewydd, mae bellach yn adnabyddus am fod yn lleoliad ar gyfer un o episodau Dr Who!
