"St Sannan's Church, was built for a large parish known as Bedwellty & New Tredegar. This medieval church has an unusual plan of two naves divided by an arcade, which is of the early thirteenth century and probably the oldest part of the church. It is a long-wall entry type and consists of chancel, nave, north aisle, south porch, and a fouteenth century integral western tower containing 8 bells. The church was restored in 1858, and in 1882 was thoroughly repaired. An iron gravestone, dating from the 1770's is mounted inside the church. The church has a whitewashed exterior."
