The church is believed to have been founded by St Tyfodwg ap Gwilfyw, a Breton disciple of St Illtyd, in the 6th century on a pilgrimage route from the east of Wales leading to St Davids.
The building was extensively restored by John Prichard in the 1870's, and again by G E Halliday in 1893-4.
Set in the chancel floor is the ‘Pilgrim Stone’, a remarkable relief carved effigy of a pilgrim carrying his staff and purse with symbols of his journeys to the Holy Land, to Rome and to Compostella.
This outstanding monument is of national importance in Britain to the iconography and understanding of medieval art and universal practice of pilgrimage.
