Llandeulyddog was founded in the 6th century and it is thought that St Peter’s is the sole survivor of a number of churches, associated with the monastery, which once stood within the walls of the old Roman town of Moridunum. St Peter’s would have been a simple timber church in this period and not the impressive stone building that we see today. But as a church it has served Carmarthen for over 1500 years!
