Medieval church dedicated to Bridget, although there is some evidence for a joint or former dedication to Cywfan.
Browne Willis gives Bridget as the dedication of the church, although there is no known evidence for it prior to the eighteenth century. In around 1700 Edward Lhuyd appears to suggest a dedication to Cwyfan, as well as a Ffynnon Gwyva near the church. A manuscript of around 1590 also appears to give to [i;Cwyven] as the dedicatee, although its veracity is questionable.More information
