Church History

  • Seethe entry for St Giles church on the National Monuments Record of Wales (NMRW) website (Coflein)
  • See also the entry for Heneglwys church on the National Monuments Record of Wales (NMRW) website (Coflein) Quote "The name ‘Hen eglwys’ (old church) indicates that it may be the precursor of St Giles’ Church (NPRN 421023), located some 600m to the east within the planted Anglo-Norman settlement of Letterson (thought to have been established before 1120). The St Giles dedication of Letterston Church is a corruption of the Celtic dedication to St Sulien, which may have been the dedication of the original church at Heneglwys."
