The parish-church stood in Td. Gallon, within a circular graveyard on a hill. Only foundations survive, measuring internally 53 x 19 ft. There remains part of the west wall, with a small rectangular window in the gable. It was apparently built on to a barrel-vault nine feet wide running across the church, which may have supported a gallery. This feature doe not look pre-Reformation. The church is first mentioned in 1406.
