Medieval church whose dedication to the three apostles is agreed upon by Browne Willis and Rice Rees, although Wade-Evans was unconvinced, presumably because he suspected that three native saints may have been the original patrons. The twelfth-century Llandaff episcopal acts cite a ecclesia sancti Petri de Lantrissen, making Peter the only saint to be attested as patron of the church before the eighteenth century.
