Medieval parish church extensively restored during the mid-nineteenth century in this ancient hamlet with an Iron Age hillfort and reported Roman remains. The Walterstone motte–and–bailey castle is adjacent.

The Church is the mausoleum of the Cecil (in Welsh: Sitsilt) family who lived at nearby Allt–yr–Ynys. They were the ancestors of Sir William Cecil, Lord Burghley, Lord Treasurer in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. They also had close connections with Dore Abbey and with the family of Blanche Parry.
