However, the Imaging the Bible in Wales database [http://imagingthebible.llgc.org.uk/site/121] [accessed 8 December 2010] notes: "Fourteenth or fifteenth century tower. Rest rebuilt 1841-3 by Joseph Jenkins, and again in 1876 by T. G. Jackson, who also designed the font and most of the furnishings."
