Medieval church dedicated to Curig.
Browne Willis gives the dedication of the church in the form Kirig in the eighteenth century, and Wade-Evans notes that the place-name was given as Porth Cirig in the sixteenth century. However, forms of the place-name from the thirteenth century suggest a form closer to the present Porthkerry (-ciri, -kyry, -kire).More information
