15th Century

  • Under construction

Defynnog has a village church, St. Cynog, which dates from the late 15th century. It was built on the site of an earlier Celtic church of which part of the north wall, a window and the font survive. The font has a Runic inscription, probably the only one on a font in Wales. It is the central Church for a large parish. The churchyard contains some of the oldest yew trees in the United Kingdom. Four were surveyed in 1998 and reported by the 'Ancient Yew Group'.
