Sut i gyrraedd yno: Dilynwch yr A494 o Ruthun  Mae Eglwys y Santes Fair yng nghanol Derwen. Ni wyddys ei tharddiad a’r cofnod cyntaf ohoni yw 1254. Mae calon ganol oesol i’r eglwys hardd ac mae’n debygol bod y to agored a’r groglen yn deillio o’r 15fed ganrif. Mae’n bosibl bod rhan o’r eglwys wedi’i hail adeiladu tua’r adeg hon. Yn y fynwent gallwch weld croes hardd o’r 15fed ganrif yn darlunio coroni’r Wyryf, y Croeshoeliad, y Wyryf a’r Plentyn ac angel â chlorian a dybir i fod yn un y Sant Mihangel. Gerllaw, mae’n bosibl gweld Bwncathod yn hedfan yn yr awyr gyda’u hadenydd llydan
â thyllau ar y blaen, plu brown a llinellau oddi tanynt.

of it is in 1254. The appealing church has a medieval core and fine exposed roof and rood screen, all of which are probably 15th century. Some of the church was perhaps rebuilt around this time. In the churchyard you will notice a very fine 15th century churchyard cross depicting the Coronation of the Child Virgin and the crucifixion, incorporating an angel with scales assumed to be St Michael. Nearby it is possible to spot buzzards flying up in the skies with broad slotted tip wings, dark brown plumage and streaks on its paler underside.
