History and architecture
The church dates from the twelfth century, the date of the nave, [3] although the chancel is fourteenth century and the roofs and tower fifteenth century.[4] It has a well-preserved Norman window.[5] The building is of Old Red Sandstone.[3] The church was restored in 1860-65[4] by John Prichard and John Pollard Seddon[3] and again by G.E.Halliday in 1900–01. [3] The Arts and Crafts chancel rails are from this date.[4]
Memorials to a number of members of the Raglan branch of the Somerset family, whose seat is nearby Cefntilla Court, can be seen in the church.[6]
Services are held at the church each Sunday.[5]
