Background
History
The Church of St Nefydd and St Mary stands in the centre of the village of Llannefydd, 5m south-east of Abergele and close to the border with Denbighshire. The dedications are to Saint Nefydd, a sixth-century Welsh saint of whom almost nothing is known beyond his reputedly being a grandson of Brychan, king of Brycheiniog, and Saint Mary. Nefydd supposedly founded the church in the 5th century, but there is no documentary evidence relating to it which predates 1291. The circular churchyard and the dedication suggest its origins as a clas church.
Architecture
St Nefydd and St Mary's consists of a double nave, a western bellcote and a south porch. The building material is mainly local limestone with roofing in Welsh slate. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW) records a Hanoverian coat of arms painted on slate. St Nefydd and St Mary is a Grade I listed building. Its Cadw listing record calls it a "fine and well-preserved late medieval parish church".
