Parts of St Meugan's Church, Llanfeugan, date back to the 13th century.  The church has a north aisle alongside the nave.  The tower has a fine peal of eight bells which rings out across the Usk Valley.

Wall paintings recorded within the church include fragments of a painted rood screen.  The mouldings were painted alternately red and dark blue, and stencilled roses, with a black outline and white filling, are on the face of cross-beam, up the rear uprights.
