Gwaenysgor is one of the "ancient parishes" of Flintshire. Its two townships of Gwaenysgor and Carnychan are both mentioned in the Domesday Book. The Domesday Book entry for the village mentions a 'ruined church'. By 1254, the church had been rebuilt, and was valued at twenty shillings. The church was repaired in 1845. There were further repairs in 1892 (re-opening on 9 October 1892); and during the 1930s. The church was in Flintshire until 1974; and in Clwyd from 1974 until 1996. It is now in "new" Flintshire.
