Lat/Lng: 52.0253955456,-4.79499921717
Medieval church on a site whose antiquity is suggested by the large eleventh-century churchyard cross. The twelfth-century Latin Life of Brynach locates his principal church here, although there is no other evidence for the dedication of the medieval church to Brynach prior to the eighteenth century. According to the Life, the church was the second established by Brynach in the vicinity.
Two wells in the parish, Ffynnon Brynach and Pistyll Brynach, provide further support for the association of Brynach with Nevern.
