The changing location of rural communities has probably had a bigger effect on Welsh churches than those in England. The churches are generally smaller and less ornate than English ones and as communities moved they seemed to build a new church rather than walk the extra mile or so to the previous one. This one is unusual in that there is still a village around it and it is a bit larger than most.
Features of particular interest are an old schoolhouse (to the right on the first photograph, the local community retain ownership of that and the graveyard) and a very old cross. The interior is light and airy. Like many Welsh churches there is a funeral bier and a reliquary storage box remaining in the building.
