St Twrog's Church is located less than 100m from the high water mark of the Afon Dwyryd, and is likely to have been liable to flooding in the past. There are three old yew trees to the south of the church. The stone of Twrog (Maen Twrog) (NPRN 302918), a sandstone pillar, stands to the east of the south porch (adjacent to the oldest gravestone, dated 1691). The standing stone features in the Mabinogi as the burial place of Pryderi, slain by Gwydion. According to local legend, Twrog threw the stone down from the top of the Moelwyn, crushing a pagan altar in the valley. Few details are known of the medieval building, although it is known to have had two aisles. The church was rebuilt in 1814, on the footprint of its medieval predecessor. The present church replaced the 1814 building. It is a Grade II listed building, dating to 1896, but possibly incorporates medieval fabric in the lowest courses of its north and east walls.
