The church, dedicated to St. Dingat, is a Norman building, the nave and chancel are thirteenth century and the tower, fourteenth. It is built on the ancient site of a pre-Conquest Celtic Christian community which formed a network of Medieval churches. St. Dingat was one of the sons of Brychan, a sixth century saint and chieftain of Irish origin. Brychan had thirty six children, many of whom also became celtic saints. He founded his own kingdom of Brycheiniog.
