Large oval burial ground and hill-top site suggest an early medieval foundation, but the late medieval stoup and reclaimed roof bosses are the earliest surviving features. Architecturally the earliest part of the present building is the post-medieval west tower. The remainder of the church was restored in 1843 and 1876, then rebuilt in 1895/6 by E.M. Bruce Vaughan, architect of Cardiff. Internally the church contains some fine stained glass windows.
