History
editCadw notes that the interior construction of the Church of St Michael suggests a construction date in the 14th century but nothing now remaining can be dated to earlier than the late 15th century.[1] The church was restored by John Pollard Seddon and John Prichard in 1853–4.[2] The parish of Llanfihangel Tor-y-Mynydd was merged with the parish of Llangunnog in 1902.[1] The church remains an active parish church.[3]
Architecture and description
editThe church is constructed of Old Red Sandstone rubble[2] with a roof of Welsh slate.[1] The nave and bellcote are part of the Victorian restoration.[1] The font is also by Prichard and Seddon.[2] The building is Grade II* listed as "an attractive and well preserved medieval church".[1]
