Church of St Gwynlleu, Nantcwnlle, Ceredigion

formerly in: Cardiganshire


Diocese of St Davids 

Church (Anglican)

Church built in 1887, reusing some walls from an earlier building of 1838, The dedication was to Gwynlleu or Gwynllen, who can perhaps be equated with Gwynllyw of Newport. Daniel Rowland was curate here and at Llangeitho from 1735 until 1764. Closed and stripped of its fittings in 2005.


The window depicting Gwynllyw, formerly on the south side of the church and now at Trefilan, adopts motifs from the Twelfth-century Latin Life of Gwynllyw.
