Dyserth is one of the "ancient parishes" of Flintshire, comprising the townships of Dyserth, Llewerllyd, Rhyd and Trecastell.

The church has had two different dedications - formerly to St. Cwyfan, whose cross stands on the border of the parish with Whitford; and currently to St. Bridget (or St. Ffraid). The church was mentioned in the Domesday book.
The church had become very dilapidated, and was extensively restored/rebuilt by Sir Gilbert Scott betwen 1873 and 1875.

The church was in Flintshire until 1974; and in Clwyd from 1974 until 1996.

It is now in "new" Denbighshire.
