Both Browne Willis and A.W. Wade-Evans agree on the dedication of the church. The identification may be supported by a reference to the place as Landou in 1292, which could be a variant of Llanddewi and refer to a church dedicated to David. The entry for the taxation of 1291⁠–2 lists the church only as Ecclesia de Glascom.
