Viewed across Alexandra Road. St Gwynno's Church is part of the Parish of Abercynon in the Church in Wales Diocese of Llandaff. The Church in Wales website states that the Parish of Abercynon with a population of c 5,000 inhabitants is a former mining community situated at the southern end of the Cynon Valley Deanery c18 miles north of Cardiff. Though the village has an industrial history, the surrounding area is primarily rural.
The Parish Church of Saint Donat was built in 1898 at the southern end of the Parish. In 1904 the much smaller Church of Saint Gwynno, seen here, was established to serve the northern side of the valley.
Gwynno, or Gwynnog ab Gildas, was a 6th century Welsh saint.
