On July 10th 1940 at about mid-day a bomb was dropped by a German aircraft. It landed in the middle of the churchyard to the south of the church building causing damage to the roof and windows. The walls although they took the force of the blast were not damaged. This also saved the school and luckily the children were all inside having lessons.

From the Llais

The Llais newspaper had always included a round-up of happenings at local churches and chapels, even when these were not part of any particular story. Sometimes they advertised forthcoming events, and at other times who was preaching, or had preached there recently.
