History
Cilcennin is the site of a historic slaughter in 1210, when Owain Goch ap Gruffydd and three hundred men attacked and killed soldiers from a superior English and Welsh troops' body under the command of their uncle Maelgwn ap Rhys.

The church in Cilcennin is dedicated to St. Cannen, and was rebuilt in the 19th century through public contributions.
