historically had two parish churches (in different parishes), one on
each side of the river - St. David to its
west, and St. Michael to its east, as shown
on a map
here (Llanddewi = St. David, Llanfihangel = St. Michael). The two
parishes were united in 1885. St. David had already fallen out of use
(the last service had been held in 1865), and it had been demolished by
the time of the 1888-9 O.S. map, where it is marked as "Remains of". The
Coflein entry includes an old photo, and says that, in 1977, some low
walls of the church were still visible.
St. Michael has also gone, the
Coflein entry giving dates of a re-build of the medieval church in
1871, and demolition in 1964. All that remains today on the
site is a graveyard with some
ancient yews, and a fine
Celtic cross, which is
grade II listed. A circa 1950 Francis Frith photo of the church is
available

Another view. Paul advises that the
church has had an interesting history - the medieval church was said to be
ruinous by the 1800's, and was replaced by a new church in 1850. Built in the
Victorian Gothic style, it was never popular with the local people, and was
described as
“mean church on a abrupt eminence”. This was replaced by the present church in
1915-16, with the tower added in 1927. A carved medieval
stone is set into the porch,
which Paul suggests should be moved to somewhere better protected from the
elements. SN 9350 4731. All © Paul Wood (2017).

Coflein entry, which dates it to 1823. Howard Richter has advised of three
other churches and chapels which stand/stood nearby. A former
Calvinistic Methodist Chapel stands at SH 7755
0095, which the
Coflein entry dates to 1840. Now converted to residential use, it can be
seen on a 2009 Streetview
here. A Wesleyan Methodist Chapel stood near
Ebeneser, at SH 7775 0100. Coflein dates it to a re-build of 1906, the original
chapel of 1823 having been previously replaced in 1848 and 1872. It finally
closed in 1970, and is noted as "disused" in 1998.
Streetview shows a residential building on the site; whether this is a
completely new building, or incorporates all or part of the chapel is (so far)
not known. Ebeneser can also be seen, immediately left of the Wesleyan, behind
the car. St. Cadfarc (CiW) stands at SH 770 010.
Built in 1884, it was the replacement for a medieval predecessor.
