The main body of the church was rebuilt in 1882–83 by the architect George Edmund Street,[1] paid for by James Walton of Dolforgan Hall.

[4] Some indication the earlier history can be gained from the account of the confrontation of between Gerald of Wales, Archdeacon of Brecon, and Adam Bishop of St Asaph in 1175 A.D., when the church was re-dedicated.

[5] In 1176 there was the subject of an altercation between Gerald of Wales, Archdeacon of Brecon, and the bishop of St Asaph who planned to take it into his own diocese.

The confrontation is documented by Giraldus[6] A synopsis of this text in English is given by Archdeacon Thomas,[7] and there is a commemorative plaque of 1818 about the event on the west wall of the north aisle.

With its north and south aisles and perhaps a small chancel occupying what is now the east end of the nave, it was a building of some size and presumably importance.

[8] The four Norman arcades with cylindrical columns joined by chamfered rounded arches are possibly the most interesting feature of the church.

The massive beam of this truss has a decorative mould which is likely to be early 16th-century and may represent a strengthening of the structure at the same time as the campanile was placed on the tower.

The bell-chamber floor was found to have been renewed in 1567/68 with very large and closely set beams, presumably to support the weight of a heavy bell-frame[15] The tower houses 3 bells.

The chancel wagon roof was replaced in 1883 and consists of 18 close-set arch-braced trusses springing from wall-plates with trefoil-headed panels.

There is also a memorial to Richard Jones, died 1788, who was a Royal Navy Purser who founded the Black Hall School and a generous benefactor to the parish.

[19] The elaborate memorial consists of two free-standing children, one reading and one writing, beside a yellow marble sarcophagus, with a bust of Jones on top; it cost £525.
