Mid C18. According to a memorial in the graveyard, the church was rebuilt at the expense of David Davies of Foelallt (d.1768, aged 55). Davies also built the nearby Unitarian Chapel in 1755 (rebuilt). Restored in 1905 by E.V. Collier of Carmarthen, architect: this included rebuilding the E wall, refitting the interior and renewing the chancel roof.
