There are 3 levels of listing: Grade I, II* & II. The majority of buildings which are of special interest are Grade II. A much smaller number of particularly important buildings are listed as Grade II*. Buildings of exceptional interest (approx 2% of the total number of listed buildings) are Grade I.
Ancient monuments and archaeological remains of national importance are protected by law. Cadw, the Welsh Government’s historic environment service is responsible for compiling a schedule (list) of these ancient monuments, some of which can be found in churches and churchyards. Examples can include churchyard crosses and the archaeological remains of previous churches or buildings on the site.
There are three National Parks in Wales: Snowdonia, Pembrokeshire Coast and Brecon Beacons. These protect 20 percent of the land in Wales, including precious landscapes, habitats, villages and heritage sites.
There are over 500 conservation areas in Wales. They are designated by local planning authorities for their special architectural and historic interest.
The Buildings at Risk register is managed by Cadw (the Welsh Government’s historic environment service) in order to identify the number and type of listed buildings at risk in Wales.
It is often extremely difficult to determine a precise date of construction for a church as many have been extensively altered over time. Church Heritage Cymru therefore shows a date range within which a church is believed to have been constructed. The dates are as follows: Early Medieval (pre 1066), Medieval (post 1066 to 1540), Post Medieval (1540 to 1837), Victorian/Pre WWI (1837 to 1914) and Modern (post 1914).

A description of the history and archaeology of the church and its site.
There would appear to have been a church here since medieval times in that there is a record of a church being repaired in 1676 and then being much more restored by S W Williams (the contractor being Thomas Berry of Kington) in 1874-6 who added a chancel to the single chambered church. The work in C17 brought into the church some Grinshill stone from Abbey Cwmhir (the cusped south door). An application that had been made to the Ecclesiastical Commissioner would appear to have been ignord but the Severn family of Penybont Hall contributed substantially towards the cost.. The west tower was created in 1953 with a shingle broach spire - there having been a previous tower which had collapsed in C17 and which had a timbered belfry stage. This was built from using stone from Llwynbarried Hall, Nantmel.

A description of the exterior of the church and the main features of the churchyard.
A single cell church of nave and chancel under a single roof a with west tower with a squat broach cedar shingle spire, and a south porch . It was built with roughly coursed random rubble sandstone and shale blocks, with a natural blue grey slate roof. The rubble stone incorporates much earlier masonry. In the south wall as well as the graceful septfoil head, supposedly a spoil from Cwmhir Abbey, are two jambstones with knife sharpening marks and one with a horizontal piercing which turns through a right-angle although the purpose is unclear. The windows of the church are Perpendicualr which is unusual for Williams who tended to prefer Early English.
