The early 13th century nave is now partly a lobby and
vestry and retains its original windows. In the latter part of that same
century a chancel was added which is longer and wider than the nave. It
also retains its original windows. This period, architecturally is known
as early english. In the early part of the 14th century material from
the ruined castle nearby was probably used to build a massive west tower,
also wider than the nave, but this was destroyed by the Welsh during the
revolt led by Owain Glyndwr in 1403 and its base together with the original
east wall (now the west wall of the nave) is all that remains.

The spectacular timber beamed roof of the chancel is
15th century and has received some recent careful restorative attention
along with other parts of the church. The porch and bell turret are of
c1711 and the pulpit carving is of roughly the same time. The font is
thought to be 14th century.
