11th century memorial stone.
Situated on a hill-top with rewarding views of Harlech Castle, the estuary of the Afon Dwyryd and beyond the Llŷn Peninsula, whilst on a clear day the summit of Snowdon can be seen.
Present church dates from 1879. Only a small stone basin in a recess on the south wall and an 11th century memorial to Tecwyn, a companion of Tanwg and Cadfan, remain from the old church.
Near the lych gate once stood a mediaeval inn on the pack-horse road from Maentwrog to Harlech.
