| Ddisgrifiad / Description | Llangwstennin is the Parish Church and it stands on the East border of the Parish. It was entirely rebuilt in 1843.
The following fittings from the Old Church remain: the Bell in the Bellcote with the date 1748 and the Font which is possibly from the late 17th or 18th century. Glass in the Vestry, formerly in the South Window of the Chancel: St. Peter holding keys with the name Petru' in black letters set reversed; St. George slaying the Dragon, parts missing, right leg set reversed and figure made up with other fragments; St. Nicholas, a Bishop in Vestments and Mitre with the name Nicolau'; St. Catherine with Sword and Wheel; Christ rising from the empty Tomb. The first four are in colour and form the main lights, the last in yellow stain forms the tracery, c. 1500. Stowe M.S. 1032 records the former existence of a figure of St. Michael with the Virgin Mary at his right weighing the Souls; the only surviving fragment is the incomplete name in black letters Sact' Mic . . . , now leaded to precede the name Petrus, a mistake which occurred before 1835.

Regnart to Catherine Lloyd of Llangwstennin Hall, 1799; a floor slab to Robert Lloyd of Hendrewaelod, 1691and also Griffith Lloyd of Bodnant, 1726.
