Dulas is a village in the Golden Valley, 10 miles SW of Hereford and 4 miles from the Welsh border. There is little to the village except Dulas Court, now a retirement home but formerly a 16thc house that was rebuilt by G. C. Haddon for Col. Fielden in 1864-65. The parish church of St Michael once stood in the grounds of Dulas Court, but Haddon built a new church (now redundant) on a site to the SE. The only fabric remaining from the church is the Romanesque former W doorway which has been re-erected as the entrance to the garden of a cottage in the grounds of Dulas Court, some 150yds N of the main house.

Dulas does not have its own entry in the Domesday Survey, but it may well have been assessed with Ewyas Harold, held from the king by Alvred of Marlborough in 1086.

RCHME (1931) describes the capitals as ‘carved with crude scrolls and large scallops’. Both Brooks and Pevsner (2012) and Pevsner (1963) record ‘a small head on the L abacus’. It seems clear that the weathering of the capitals has been considerable.
