Church dedicated to Katherine. The dedication may be a relatively late medieval one, as the place-name was previously Merthyr, perhaps Merthyr Meiron.
It has been suggested that since the church was not located near to the Edwardian castle, it was pre-existing foundation and perhaps had an earlier dedication.More information
