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.

Issui was an early Welsh saint who lived by the well next to the site of the church. Following his murder, the well became a place of pilgrimage and the church was founded with the offerings of pilgrims in 1060. Gerald of Wales is reputed to have preached at the church in 1188 while on his tour of Wales.[ he church was undamaged during the Reformation, the dual altars being spared by the order of Edward VI in 1550. The church similarly escaped any large-scale Victorian reconstruction and was carefully restored by W. D. Caröe in 1908–1909. The church remains an active church in the parish of the Vale of Gwrynne.
