The church, dedicated to St. Peulan, who lived in the beginning of the sixth century, was originally founded in 630: the present edifice is a small cruciform structure, situated in a little barren valley, near the new line of road to Holyhead, and the south transept bears evidence of very great antiquity : it has some windows in the later English style, of good design, especially the east window of the chancel, which is a very superior composition. There are places of worship for Independents and Calvinistic and Wesleyan Methodists. David Jones, in 1726, bequeathed £ 10, the interest arising from which he directed to be annually given to two of the oldest inhabitants of the parish, who should be considered as deserving objects of charity. The average annual expenditure for the support of the poor is £ 197. 13.
