The church is dedicated to St Gwyddelan, a celtic missionary from Ireland who helped restore Christianity in Britain in the 5th Century. A wooden church was first built on Bryn y Bedd, a small hill close to the castle but when Maredudd ab Ieuan, ancestor of the Wynn family of Llanrwst, came to live here in the late 15th century he decided to build a church where he could keep an eye on his lookouts at Carreg Alltrem and his new house in Cwm Penamnen.
