As a result of this arrangement, Pont Robert is now divided between the present day Community Councils of Meifod, Llangyniew and Mawddwy.

The name Pontrobert is derived from Robert ap Oliver of Cyhinfa, who built the original bridge over the River Vyrnwy around 1700.

[1] The church was built in 1853 following the formation of the new parish to designs by Richard Kyrke Penson.

Simple Early English style with a west bellcote, and interior without structural division.

A tiny isolated chapel with a two-bay cottage under the same roof, but very close to the Glyndŵr's Way long-distance footpath.
