St Cadfan's is known as the site of an early Clas church. A contemporary poet described it as a fine whitened church where relics were kept and miracles performed. Two early medieval inscribed stones, one now lost, are recorded in the churchyard. An inscribed stone of seventh to ninth century date (NPRN 302689), presently stands upright in the north aisle of the church. It bares the earliest known inscription in Welsh. The cruciform church is a grade I listed building. It consists of an aisled nave, north and south transepts, a central tower and a chancel. The nave, with its aisles, arcades and clerestory windows, are those of the original twelfth century building. The nave is unique in Gwynedd, and is consequently considered to be of special architectural significance. Two fourteenth century effigies are situated within modern niches in the north wall of the chancel and sanctuary. One is of an unnamed priest. The other is of an unnamed knight, traditionally Gruffydd ab Adda of Dolgoch.
