A medieval church, with some restoration and rebuilding since, this is the only church in Wales with this particular dedication. It is thought that the site has been a religious one since the 6th century and still has an oval layout. It may also have been a pre-Christian era shrine. It was selected by Owain Glyndwr as his 'Chapel Royal' in 1406 and he quite likely drafted and signed the Pennal Letter inside the church during Lent.
