History

Late C18 or early C19. Church is said to date from 1780 (registers begin 1781), is called 'newly erected' in 1810 and 'recently erected' in 1833, but Kelly's Directory and G E Evans both give 1850 as date of rebuilding on a different site. However, in 1855 the church is described as being reopened after repairs and improvements including alterations to the windows, especially the chancel window, and interior renovation including seats, pulpit and reading desk. A further renovation is recorded in 1905 when the chancel was refloored and elevated, choir stalls and new nave seats added and a lobby and vestry made. The reset beam may be the upper part of a screen, though the mortice holes are confusing, its provenance is uncertain, though both it and the font are said to have come from an earlier church at Llanina.
