It is designated by Cadw as a Grade II* listed building,[1] and is under the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches.

[2] The church stands on a site first used by Saint Beuno as a cell towards the end of the 6th century.

In addition to carrying out repairs, the charity has commissioned a cabinet to contain the church's collection of historic bibles.

The lectern and the font cover were carved by Mrs Constance Mary Greaves, an aunt of Clough Williams-Ellis; the lectern is in the form of an angel with spreading wings, while the font cover is an eagle.

[1] In the churchyard is a large chest tomb, an early example of the type, in memory of William Maurice who died in 1622.
