Miskin, with the village centre being based around the inn, which is now The
Miskin Arms pub.
The name change from New Mill to Miskin was brought about by Judge Gwilym
Williams, and was taken from the medieval commote of Miskin by Williams,

A church has stood at the location of the current St David's church since 1878.
[5] Originally of corrugated iron construction, it was replaced by the current
stone church in 1906–07. The land on which the church was built was owned
by the Williams family.
Funds for the building of the church were raised by public donations and
events, notably the Grand Fete at Miskin Manor which raised over £1,000,
with the majority of the funds coming from Emma Eleanor Williams, Gwilym
Williams' widow.[6] The church was licensed on 23 December 1907 and
later consecrated by Right Rev Timothy Rees, Bishop of Llandaff, on Sunday
23 April 1933.[5]
St David's Church was designed by local architect E. M. Bruce Vaughan and
has been described as 'earnestly handsome'.[4] The church has an over-
buttressed square tower, and is faced with green Quarella stone outside and
in. Of note are three stained glass windows by Jessie Bayes, to members of
the Williams family.[4][7]
The former St Teilo's church was built c.1890 but since demolished and a
meeting room, Miskin Hall, built on its site.[8] As of 2018, Miskin Hall was
empty and for sale.[9]
There is also a large Roman Catholic church, All Hallows, located on the
outskirts of the village.
