History
Gerald of Wales records that a church at Bryngywn was built by Aeddan Gwaethfoed, the Lord of Clytha in 1180.[1] The current building dates mainly from the 15th century.[1] The church was restored in 1871 by John Prichard.[1] Throughout that time, the rector was the Reverend William Crawley, who served from 1834 to 1896, a period of 62 years.[1]
Near to the church is a well, also dedicated to St Peter, which was for many years the only water supply for the church and village.[2]
Architecture and description
The church is constructed of sandstone rubble in a Perpendicular style.[3]
