It is situated on the northern shore of Cardigan bay, and is but of small extent. The living is a perpetual curacy, annexed to the rectory of Criccieth, in the archdeaconry of Merioneth, and diocese of Bangor. The church, dedicated to St. Michael, is a small ancient edifice, without any architectural claim to notice, and is in a very dilapidated state. There are places of worship for Independents and Methodists. Poor children of this parish are eligible to the free school at Criccieth, founded by the Rev. David Ellis. The average annual expenditure for the relief of the poor amounts to £ 19. 13. (A Topographical Dictionary of Wales by Samuel Lewis, 1833)
