The Little Guide to Herefordshire by G. W. Wade DD and J. H. Wade, MA - 2nd Edition, 1922

Dewchurch, Much (anciently Llanddewi), a village on the Ross and Hay road, 7 miles S. from Hereford (nearest station Tram Inn, 3 miles, on the Hereford and Abergavenny line). The natural picturesqueness of its situation, amongst the wooded hills between Hereford and Monmouth, is enhanced by the adjacent glades of Mynde Park, which surround it on the S. The church (St. David), in the centre of the village, is a bulky building with a massive W. tower. It exhibits Norm. work in the S. doorway, the chancel arch, and some of its windows. At the N.E. corner of the sanctuary is a shelf marked with a foliated cross, which may have been used as an Easter sepulchre. Behind the pulpit is a large mural monument with the kneeling effigies of Walter Pye de Mynde, Attorney-General under James I., and his wife (1625). Their children are figured below on the panel. On the sill of the window adjoining it are the recumbent effigies of some other members of the same family, John and Waiter Pye de Mynde (sixteenth century). The pulpit is Jacobean. In the porch are some fragments of interlaced sculpture j and in the churchyard is the base of a cross with a modern shaft and head. Mynde Hall, the seat of the Pyes, stands in a large deer park containing an ornamental lake. The most striking feature of the house is its. large hall. Another mansion, Bryngwyn, adjoins the estate. A 1/4  mile from the church are the remains of a camp; and near the cross-roads is the site of a demolished tumulus, Wormelow Tump.
