History and architecture
The church dates from the twelfth century, the date of the nave, [2] although the chancel is fourteenth century and the roofs and tower fifteenth century.[3] It has a well-preserved Norman window.[4] The building is of Old Red Sandstone.[2] The church was restored in 1860-65[3] by John Prichard and John Pollard Seddon[2] and again by G.E.Halliday in 1900–01. [2] The Arts and Crafts chancel rails are from this date.[3]
Memorials to a number of members of the Raglan branch of the Somerset family, whose seat is nearby Cefntilla Court, can be seen in the church.[5]
Services are held at the church each Sunday.[4]
