Find a church

There has been a chapel on this site since 1835.

Much of this church was built during the 13th and 14th centuries; the tower was built in at least two distinct phases, with construction interrupted by the Black Death.

The west entry through the tower porch into its splendid Georgian nave is an architectural surprise and constant attraction to visitors.

Cymmer Abbey was founded in 1198 by monks from Cwm-hir under the patronage of the local ruler Maredud ap Cynan and his powerful cousin Llywelyn ab Iorwerth, Llywelyn the Great, prince of north Wales.

St Michael & All Angels stands close to a moat and was once the site of a Saxon Village until the Black Death.

According to architectural historian Nicholas Pevsner, this is ‘the stateliest church of its time in the county’, rebuilt in 1720 on an ancient site, St Andrew’s.

Lovely village church containing a delightful chancel with its highly decorated ceiling based on the Te Deum.
