Nestled in the valley of the Grwyne Fawr, this remarkable church originates from 1060 and is a Grade I-listed building. Much of the current building was built in the 14th and 15th centuries and was superbly restored at the beginning of the 20th century. The church is particularly notable for its beautifully carved 16th-century rood screen, one of Wales' oldest fonts and its superb medieval mural paintings.
