The living is a perpetual curacy, annexed to the rectory of Llan-gattock, in the diocese of St David's. The church was dedicated to St Ceneu or Keyne, and there is a well whose waters have the same kind of popular repute as those of St Keyne's Well in Cornwall. A bell, supposed to have belonged to St Ceneu's Oratory, was found near the well in 1809. There is a Calvinistic Methodist chapel.
