Church History

  • The entry for this church on the National Monuments Record of Wales (NMRW) website (Coflein).
  • Quote from MEDIEVAL AND EARLY POST-MEDIEVAL CHURCHES AND CHAPELS A THREAT-RELATED ASSESSMENT 2010-11 on  the Dyfed Archaeology site "Medieval  parish  church,  now in  Llandissilio  East  parish.  It  was  largely  rebuilt  in  1839  as  a  small, single   cell  comprising  nave  and  chancel,  although  one  of  the  tie-beams  was  recorded, in 1917, as being  inscribed   with   the   date 1782,   while   another   timber   was   apparently dated 1582 (RCAHM 1917, 43). The church is now a roofless shell aligned WNW - ESE.  Much of the fabric of the church has been  removed  since  the  record  made  in  1984  and  the walls  stand  just  over  a  metre high.Field observations made by R.E.Kay in 1954 show the entrance doorway and two windows in the  western  wall  and  a  further  two  windows  in  the  north  wall. His illustrations also depict gravestones standing beyond the northwestern corner of the church, which have now gone. The church is now an overgrown, roofless ruin, and the churchyard is a caravan park.  - M. Ings 2011"
