Description

St Mary's Church, Llanbrynmair, was founded in the sixth century, but it is thought to have been dedicated to St Mary in the twelfth century. The present church, which dates back to the fifteenth century or a little earlier, is a Grade II* Listed Building. The interior includes a thirteenth century font and some post medieval woodwork. There is a record of a fragment of painted rood screen which is thought to have been moved to the vicarage. A nineteenth century decalogue on boards survives, as does an 1883 table of benefactions.
