History and amenities
The village is noted for its outstanding grade I listed 11th-century church with an intricately carved 16th century rood screen, mediaeval mural paintings, and one of the oldest fonts in Wales. The churchyard also contains a grade II* listed cross. The church was originally called Methur Issui ("Saint Issui the Martyr"), a corruption of Merthyr Ishaw or Ishow. It is now known as St Patrico. It avoided Victorian restoration, and its conservation was undertaken by W. D. Caroe in 1908-9, with further work on the churchyard in 1919.
