Anglican church, originally a C17 chapel of ease to Cadoxton, rebuilt in 1808-1809 for the Williams family of Aberpergwm and extended with chancel in 1836-41. Graded II* for the unusual pre-ecclesiological Gothic interior combining Georgian plaster ceilings with neo-Norman chancel arch and important medieval effigies brought in to enhance the antique effect.
