[2] The church building is located prominently within a raised circular Celtic llan in the centre of Hope.

[4] Operationally it is located in the Rhos-a-Mynydd Mission Area within the Diocese of St Asaph of the Church in Wales.

Additionally, the church being connected to Cynfarch has been disputed, with historical references regularly omitting the saint.

[6] The church's large east window illustrating Te Deum comprises fragments that were put back together in 1730 from the remains of ancient glass.

[6][9] The side chapel was reconstructed in 2000, following the development of dry rot threatening the church's structure.

[11] While the church's railed tombs,[12][13][14] steps and walls,[15][16] sundial base,[17] vault,[18][19] and gates[16] are Grade II listed.
