There was a church on this site in 9th century. This old church (above) is dated 1639. The church bell is inscribed "Roger Ford fecit anno 1733 ". The vicar c. 1780 was Rev. Alexander McCreedy The newer church was built in 1826 at a cost of £700 which was defrayed by the Board of First Fruits. It was capable of holding 200 people but the average attendance in 1836 was 25 people but was rapidly growing. The clergyman in 1830 was Rev. John Gwynne and in 1836 was Rev. Rev.
