A church was first built here in the 5th century, in a clifftop location overlooking the sea. The founder was Hywyn, who established a prayer cell where he lived and preached to the nearby inhabitants. The current church was begun around 1137 as part of a concerted effort by Gruffudd ap Cynan, King of Gwynedd, to replace earlier wooden structures with stone.
