Nantglyn is one of the "ancient parishes" of Denbighshire. It comprised the four townships of Blaenau, Cwmllwm, Hendre, and Plas. There is evidence that there was a church at Nantglyn from a very early date, situated a few hundred yards from the site of the present church. The church was mentioned in the Norwich Taxation of 1254. The present building was partly rebuilt in 1777, and was almost entirely rebuilt in 1862. The church was in Denbighshire until 1974; and in Clwyd from 1974 until 1996. It is now in "new" Denbighshire.
