Church of uncertain antiquity. It was reported that, at the time of some work on the building in the 1840s, it had been converted from a 'Parish House' into a chapel of ease to Llanfrynach about a century previously. It was rebuilt in 1850, and is dedicated to John the Baptist, although Wade-Evans gives the dedication as Brynach, from the medieval church of Llanfrynach.
