The ancient parish was of great extent. It comprised the township of Gwydir, in Caernarfonshire; and a number of townships in Denbighshire. These townships were Cilcennis, Tre'r Dre Isaf, Tre'r Dre Uchaf, Garthgyfannedd, Mathebrwd, Tybrith Isaf, Tybrith Uchaf, and Garth Garmon. In 1866, a portion of the township of Gwydir was transferred by an Order in Council to the parish of Capel Curig, in Caernarfonshire. Tybrith Ucha and Garth Garmon had for many years operated, unofficially, as the parish of Capel Garmon; and this was made official in 1927. The church was founded in the sixth century by St. Grwst, and has been on its present site since the thirteenth century. It was restored in 1884. The church was in Denbighshire until 1974; and in Gwynedd from 1974 until 1996. It is now in Conwy County Borough.
