The church is dedicated to St Michael. The tower is surprisingly large for a church serving a relatively modest village. It is thought to have been originally constructed in 1268 and '... is a highly significant historic building in Wales as one of very few complete medieval churches of cruciform plan with a central tower...' (Coflein). Subsequent rebuilding has occurred and dendrochronology has dated some timbers in the tower to the first half of c16th, so the rebuilding only just pre-dates the reformation.
