St Mary's Church or as it is known in Welsh, Eglwys y Santes Fair dates from 1811. The church was part and parcel of William Alexander Madocks' 1773-1828 plan for the newly minted town of Tremadoc.

In the latter part of the 20th century the church fell into disuse and was subsequently refurbished and restored beginning in 2005.

The disused church building was acquired on a long lease by the local Historic Buildings Preservation Trust and has been converted to office use. In addition to general refurbishment the works included the insertion of a new first floor and the provision of a lift. Externally the render to the spire and tower has been renewed.

Never granted consecrated status, John Williams Esq., his wife Anne (sister of David Williams Esq., 1799-1869 - MP Merioneth 1868-69) and their son William Thomas Massey Williams are the only three burials at St. Mary's. The burials were allowed by special application to Merioneth's Bishop.
