The medieval parish church for Llanfrynach is dedicated to St Brynach. This isolated church which almost fell into disuse now has its rural setting ruined by the B4270 link road. That the church is not a ruin is down to Dr William Salmon of Penlline Court and the Homfray family. In 1776 three of the cracked and ruined bells were sold to pay for repairs to the church. The church is one of the very few to retain the stone benches gainst the walls which were used by the aged and infirmed, the rest of the parishioners standing for the whole of the services. It is a Grade II listed building.
