St Gredifael's Church

The church features a nave and chancel with carved Norman stones incorporated into the south wall and an early Decorated architectural style.

Built around 1400, the church underwent restoration in 1848 by Reverend Henry Longueville Jones, who rebuilt upper wall sections and added new fixtures.

The interior contains a significant alabaster effigy tomb of Gronw Fychan and his wife from the late 14th century with detailed stone carvings.

Located at 88 meters above sea level, the Grade II listed building maintains its original windows, doorways, and a 16th-century wooden trussed roof.

The church maintains strong connections to the Tudor dynasty through Plas Penmynydd, the ancestral residence of Owain Tudor's family.
