A Grade II* listed building, the church remains an active parish church. HistoryThe writer Clive Aslet, who describes the church as "the remotest (.) in Wales",{{sfn|Aslet|2011|p=480}} recounts the legend of the founding of the church, on the spot where two yoked heifers rested.{{sfn|Aslet|2011|p=480}} The circular churchyard suggests a Celtic, possibly pre-Christian, origin for the site.{{sfn|Aslet|2011|p=480}} The present church is early medieval,{{sfn|Newman|2000|p=262}} Cadw suggesting a 13th-century date.[1] The existing features are from the 16th, 17th and 19th centuries.[1] By the early 19th century, the church was described as little more than "a dilapidated sheepfold".[1] A restoration took place in 1820, at the instigation, and mostly at the expense, of a local schoolmaster, James Davies.[1] More extensive rebuilding was undertaken by John Prichard in 1871,{{sfn|Newman|2000|p=262}} and again in 1977-9 (Cadw)[1] or 1989-90 (Newman).{{sfn|Newman|2000|p=262}} At the time of the 20th century reconstruction, the church was named Holy Cross, no earlier dedication being recorded.[1] Architecture and descriptionThe church is constructed of Old Red Sandstone,{{sfn|Newman|2000|p=262}} the style a mix of Early English and Decorated.[2] It consists of a chancel, nave, porch and bellcote.[1] The interior is simple, the chancel having a plain truss rather than an arch.{{sfn|Newman|2000|p=262}} The church is Grade II* listed, the listing noting it as an "attractive and little altered medieval church from a now deserted village".[1] The churchyard contains an early cross, which is both a Grade II listed structure and a Scheduled monument.[3] Notes1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite web|url=http://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=en&id=2025|title=Listed Buildings - Full Report - HeritageBill Cadw Assets - Reports|website=cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.coflein.gov.uk/en/site/307344/details/holy-cross-church-kilgwrrwg|title=HOLY CROSS CHURCH, KILGWRRWG - Coflein|website=www.coflein.gov.uk}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=en&id=2026|title=Listed Buildings - Full Report - HeritageBill Cadw Assets - Reports|website=cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net}} References
