St Mary and St Egryn's is a Grade I listed building, whose rood screen and rood loft are thought to date to around 1520. The carved rood screen is considered one of the finest examples in Wales, and there is a story that it came from Cymer Abbey after the dissolution, but this is unproven. The loft has an arcade consisting of three bays each side of a wider central opening. It has thirteen bays of panelling, the centre bay with a cross. It is reached by a decorated wooden staircase. Built into the south wall of the present church building is an early medieval pillar stone with an incised cross, possibly dating to the twelfth or thirteenth century. The first known documentary reference to the church at Llanegryn dates to 1254. Its square font is thought to date to around this time, being twelfth or thirteenth century in style.
