Betws Gwerful Goch is one of the "ancient parishes" of Merioneth. It has been said that, from the churchyard, it is possible to throw a stone into the parishes of Corwen, Llanfihangel Glyn Myfyr, and Gwyddelwern. The first recorded reference to the church was in 1254, but it is likely that there had been a church on the same site for perhaps centuries earlier. The church was restored in 1882. The church was in Merioneth until 1974; and in Clwyd from 1974 until 1996. It is now in "new" Denbighshire. |
