This mysterious church, now a private house, stands in isolation among the fields between Mathry and Hayscastle: its tiny former parish had no focus of settlement and in 1833 the population numbered only 113. The church was dedicated to the C6 Armorican saint Edeyrn who was reputed to have travelled widely and as a result there are churches named for him in North and South Wales, and also Brittany. The present structure dates only from 1846 but several ancient crosses on the site remain from a much earlier time.
