The entry for this parish in Lewis' Dictionary of Wales (1833) notes: "The church, dedicated to St. Michael, is spacious cruciform structure, in the later style English architecture, appropriately fitted up for the performance of divine service; and it and a churchyard are particularly admired on account of their secluded and rural aspect"; no font mentioned in it. The entry for this church in COFLEIN [https://coflein.gov.uk/en/site/400451/details/st-michaels-church-llandre] [accessed 17 January 2020] notes: "The church was known as Llanfihangel Castell Gwallter during the medieval period, when it was a chapelry in the Deanery of Ultra-Aeron. [...] Llanfihangel-Geneu'r-Glyn had become a parish by 1803 [...] The form of the medieval church is not known. It was largely rebuilt in the later eighteenth century as a symmetrical cruciform church. [...] The church was demolished in 1884-1885 and a new church built on the same site and in the same location, but retaining nothing from the earlier fabric."
