There is an ancient sundial to the south of the church which dates from 10th Century.
Saint Beuno, the greatest of North Wales Celtic saints, was a descendant of the Prince of Powys. He founded Clynnog Fawr monastery in 616 A.D. and many more Christian establishments. Legends associate him with miraculous healing powers.
