The early medieval church is on high ground at the northern end of Church Street. It is a Church in Wales church in the parish of Bedwas, Diocese of Monmouth. Grade II (star) listed in 1961. Barrwg (or Baruc) was a 6th century disciple of Saint Cadoc. Giraldus Cambrensis (Gerald of Wales) in his Itinerarium Cambriae (Journey through Wales) of 1191 stated that the Barry (at that time a hamlet, now a large town in the Vale of Glamorgan) derived its name from Baruc whose remains are deposited in a chapel on Barry Island.
