"The Anglican Church of Llanfair-ar-y-Bryn was commissioned to
be built in 1889, and was originally a church that conducted its worship entirely
through the medium of Welsh.
Throughout its history it served as the parish
church for Dinas and Penygraig and has been a distinguished landmark on Amos
Hill for a number of generations.
In recent years, the parish has had to
face a number of practical difficulties, including being grouped with the neighbouring
parish of Williamstown and therefore sharing the vicar, and also mounting repair
costs to Llanfair and St Barnabas.The final services were held on Pentecost
Sunday, with the congregation moving to St Barnabas, Dinas, and St Illtud, Williamstown.
The
site of Llanfair will be used for the development of four houses." (Welcome
