St Twrog's Church

Saint Twrog's Church stands at a crossroads on the A496, featuring granite walls, stained glass windows, and a square tower with ancient yew trees.

The original church from the 6th century was replaced in 1814, with subsequent renovations in 1896 by architect John Douglas who added a new chancel.

The church holds a large stone called Maen Twrog near the belfry door, which according to Welsh tales contains Saint Twrog's finger imprints.

The parish church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors through a narrow alleyway opposite the village war memorial near the crossroads.

Edmund Prys, who translated psalms to Welsh, served as rector from 1572 to 1624, and a commemorative window honors his contributions.
