The village of Laleston has several buildings of features of note. Clustered around the church, the village has several cottages and one larger house still recognisable as 16th century design. The Great House (Grade II), now a hotel, has its origins set in the 16th century, though the southern half of the building is more likely an additional 17th century build.
St David's Church is located in the centre of the village. It shows 13th and 14th century designs, though much work has been carried out since its earliest period. The church is standard in plan with a west tower, nave and lower chancel, but the tower interior is in the
Perpendicular Gothic style. A restoration of 1871 saw all the original windows replaced, and this work was completed by
John Prichard, more famous for his restoration of
Llandaff Cathedral. There are several rustic tablets in the church from c. 1700. Also of note is Horeb Welsh Presbyterian Church (Grade II), of a long-wall facade style with two tall windows in the centre, flanked by two doors, unusual for the 1831 build. While the Laleston Inn (Grade II) on Wind Street is the only building in
Glamorgan from this period designed with two serving areas on the lower level. To the north of Laleston is the field of Cae'rheneglwys, where the remains of the church once dedicated to
St Cewydd, who was the Welsh equivalent of
St Swithin. ==Governance==
