The Parish Church was rebuilt 1858 in Perpendicular Style having embattled parapets with pointed pinnacles and walls of Pennant stone. It retains the medieval tower built in 1315 with dressed Pennant blocks that houses a peal of 6 bells with one inscribed 1627. There is a parish chest from 1600. The chest now contains the church hymn books. Once it would have stored the church's valuables, and required tow different keys to open it (each held by a different person).
