The entry for this church in the CPAT [Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust] Radnorshire Churches Survey Project [www.cpat.demon.co.uk/projects/longer/churches/radnor/16910.htm] [accessed 9 February 2015] notes: "Nothing of the early history nor of its subsequent development has been established for this church. [...] The tower and lower part of the nave are early, perhaps even 13thC, but there are few architectural details, except for a putatively early lancet in the tower, and much was probably swept away in the restoration of 1869. The interior retains a screen and a ciborium, both late medieval and the latter particularly important, together with a medieval font." Octagonal basin with tall chamfered underbowl on a cylindrical pedestal base and three-step circular plinth; all plain and probably re-tooled. The wooden cover is round and flat, with metal decoration and ring handle; modern.
