The living is a vicarage* in the diocese of St. Asaph, value £271, in the patronage of the bishop. The church, dedicated to St. Michael, is built in the style prevailing about four centuries back, with Norman doorway and arches. In 1855 it was completely restored, and an octagonal tower with spire added to the building, at the sole expense of the late Rev. John Parker, one of the first of Welsh archæologists. It contains an E. window of stained glass, a Norman font, and monuments of the Bridgeman, Godolphin, and other families. The English and Welsh languages are used alternately in the performance of Divine service. The parochial charities produce about £11 per annum, mostly applied to school purposes. In addition to the endowed school, there is a National school for both sexes. The Earl of Powis is lord of the manor."[Transcribed from The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland 1868 by Colin Hinson ©2015]
