There is a chapel, church, community centre or village hall, the war memorial and a primary school - currently teaching approx 80 pupils. Some years ago New Radnor narrowly missed out on the award for Best Kept village in Wales..

When the cut-throat isn’t occupied in crime,

And listen to the merry village chime.”

hallowed houses studied Sappho in cement rooms.
And this Sappho danced on the grass
and danced and danced and danced.
It was a death dance.”
