Church dedicated to Dyfrig, although the dedication is not attested before the nineteenth century.

Browne Willis omits any dedication. Samuel Lewis gives Dubricius in his Topographical Dictionary, in which he states 'some writers are of opinion that the celebrated seminary of that holy man was situated on the western bank of the Wye, in this parish.' A modern window depicting Dyfrig is found in the church.
