Major restoration in c1890. Further minor restoration in C20. Constructed of coursed rubble sandstone with slate roofs. Consists of nave with integral chancel, 2-bay N aisle, 3-bay S aisle, N tower, S porch and 3 chapels. The interior dates from a number of periods and is very confusing. C16/C17 waggon roof to N aisle and nave, but the compartmented S aisle roof is of C17 type, and may be early C18 or may equally be C20. C16 carved oak arcade separates the Triley Chapel from the Wern-ddu Chapel. Choir screen C15 stlye, but dates from 1891. Pulpit Jacobean style, but dates from 1893. Some good C18 inscribed memorials.
