Medieval church dedicated to Deiniol, thoroughly restored in the nineteenth century.
The dedication to Deiniol is attested by Edward Lhuyd in around 1700, and again by Browne Willis in the mid-eighteenth century. However, Browne Willis also gives the dedication as Mary in 1727 and possible dedications to All Saints and the Holy Cross have been suggested, which may be mistakes or suggest confusion over the date of the feast day.More information
