The church is medieval, with 13th or 14th century walls and late Victorian roof and windows. But there was an even earlier church on the site. Two early medieval stone crosses are built into the south wall. East of the porch is the grave of Guto Nyth-bran, a famous local runner. Below the church is St Gwynno's Well recently restored but getting a bit overgrown again.
The church was in 1883-6, by architect J Prichard. He did only the first three bays of the nave (his cruciform plan having proved over ambitious), and Kempson & Fowler added the chancel with the south chapel and north vestry in 1892-3. GE Halliday added the two bays of the west end in 1897.
The Synagogue in Cardiff is an Ashkenazi synagogue completed in 1896-97 by architect Delissa Joseph. It was rebuilt in 1989. In use until 1989, this stone synagogue in the Neo-Romanesque style now serves as an office building.
