A simple Medieval Church of unknown dedication, constructed of limestone rubble with bathstone dressings, and slate roofs. The 4-bay nave has alternating 1 and 2 light windows. The W end has a 3 light window and a bellcote, the nave and chancel may date from the 13th or 14th Centuries.
In 1759 the church was described as being 'so much out of repair that service cannot be performed on a rainy day', but was in good order by 1790.
It is said to have been repaired in 1850 by Mason & Elkington, Managers of the copper Works at Burry Port. The Church was restored again in the 1870s, with the addition of a vestry and porch.
