14th century Chapel-of-ease.

Built as a chapel-of-ease for the parish church of Llanbeulan, the nave is mediaeval, possibly 12th century, the chancel was rebuilt late in the 16th century and the south chapel added in the 17th century. The chapel has been reslated but retains 15th and 17th century roof trusses. In use as an occasional venue for services until early 1990's, the chapel was made redundant in 1992. Sadly, it was vandalised in 1999, when all but one of the original benches and many fittings were damaged or removed. It has now been restored and is in use for occasional worship.
