Of this damp, crumbling little church, standing beside the busy A44, very little is now known. Opened in 1871 as a mission church of Llanbadarn Fawr, at that time the largest parish in Cardiganshire, it served the small village of Goginan 8 miles outside Aberystwyth for a number of years. The date of closure is uncertain, (pending further research), but it is apparent from photographs circulating on the internet that it has been empty and slowly deteriorating for at least five years.
