Yr Eglwys a'r PlwyfThe Church and Parish
Cafodd pentref Llansannan ei enwi ar ôl Sant Sannan, ac mae Eglwys Sant Sannan yn ganolbwynt i fywyd y gymuned ers canrifoedd. Mae'r plwyf yn ymestyn ar draws tirwedd brydferth Dyffryn Aled.
The village of Llansannan takes its name from Saint Sannan, and St Sannan's Church has been central to community life for centuries. The parish extends across the beautiful landscape of the Aled Valley.
