St Beuno's Church, Trefdraeth

The church stands in a circular enclosed land north of the road between Trefdraeth and Bethel, featuring rubble masonry construction and external buttresses.

The earliest parts of St Beuno's Church date from the 13th century, with the nave and chancel remaining from this period despite modifications over time.

The church contains a 12th-century cylindrical font decorated with saltires and a Celtic cross, representing Welsh religious artistry and craftsmanship.

The building measures 59 feet in length and 15 feet in width, maintaining its role as an Anglican place of worship for the local community.

In 1766, the appointment of an English-speaking priest led to reforms requiring Welsh language proficiency for clergy serving Welsh-speaking parishes.
