St Beuno’s Church is the parish church of Berriew, in the historic county of Montgomeryshire, now Powys. The church stands in an almost oval churchyard in the centre of the village. The original church was a single-chamber, with a wooden west bellcote and a northchancel chapel. This church was replaced in 1803-4 with a larger brick church by the architect John Hiram Haycock of Shrewsbury. It was of brick with stone dressings, and had the entry under a pinnacled west tower to a galleried nave with four round-headed windows a side. The church was largely rebuilt by his grandson, Edward Haycock, Junior in 1876. It consists of a nave, aisles, chancel, north porch, and west tower The west tower has the doorway blocked, stone facing for brick, and Gothic windows, except for the circular ones on its second stage.

Forden railway station
Forden railway station

Forden railway station was a station in Forden, Powys, Wales. The station was opened on 10 June 1861 by the Oswestry and Newtown Railway on the section of line between Welshpool and Newtown. The station originally had a single platform on the western side of line (along with a goods shed and associated siding), but in 1897 a passing loop was installed here along with signal box and second platform. After the 1923 Grouping, the Great Western Railway took over operation of the line and two year later they doubled the section eastwards to Welshpool to add additional capacity on what had become a busy main line. Service levels were modest throughout this period, with the 1922 timetable having five eastbound and four westbound trains calling Mon-Sat and no Sunday service.The station passed into the hands of British Railways upon nationalisation in January 1948; by 1955 a modest improvement in the timetable saw seven eastbound trains calling and five westbound, but by the early 1960s the service had reverted to pre-grouping levels once more (albeit with a nominal Sunday service of one train in the eastbound direction only). The Beeching Report of 1963 listed the Cambrian main line for retention but proposed the elimination of all wayside stations (only Welshpool, Newtown and Machynlleth were to be kept, though Caersws was subsequently reprieved). Goods facilities were withdrawn from 4 May 1964, with formal consent to closure granted at the end of that year; final closure took effect from 14 June 1965.The signal box continued in use until 1969, when the line to Welshpool was singled. The main buildings and platforms were subsequently demolished, but both the signal box and station house were retained and sold by BR. These still stand (as of spring 2016), having been adapted for use as private residential accommodation.
