There has been a Christian presence on this site from at least the 6th century, under the first two bishops, Dyfrig (Dubricius) and Teilo, and pre-Norman architectural evidence for the early medieval church is shown by the remains of the late 10th/early 11th-century cross in the south aisle, as well as grave markers set in the fabric at the west end.

The present building dates from the Norman period, around 1120, when bishop Urban, a Welshman, brought the remains of St Dyfrig from Bardsey Island, off the coast of north-west Wales, down to Llandaff.
