The Knights Hospitallers established a grange here in the early 13th century if not earlier, and this is probably to be identified with the earthwork of Caer Noddfa, adjacent to the church. Whether they took over an existing church and re-dedicated it to John the Baptist remains unknown. However, it became a place of sanctuary in the Middle Ages.
