Egwlyswrw is a small village on the main road between Cardigan and Fishguard. The name of the village means "the church of Wrw" (Wrw is a person's name).

Eglwyswrw parish church is dedicated to St Cristiolis.

The church has medieval masonry but the features date from 1829 and 1883, when a north transept was removed. A medieval chapel near here was destroyed by order of the Privy Council of Queen Elizabeth I because it was frequented by Catholics.

Strangely, the Cross Inn is not an inn at all, but a tiny cottage.
