Cenarth, St Llawddog
|
|
|
The church is named after St. Llawddog, a 6th century patron of four churches in the diocese of St. David's. The 1872 church replaced an earlier church fallen into ruin. In the churchyard can be found a "sarsen" stone of millstone grit with an inscription cut into it. The origin of the stone is shrouded in the past. The bowl of the church's font dates from the 12th century or earlier. It was, at one time, used for a pig trough.
