Llanpumsaint Church
Llanpumsaint, Carmarthenshire
Lying at the centre of the village and close to the banks of the River Gwili, the church has been the focal point of Llanpumsaint (parish of the five saints) for many centuries.
St Peter’s is first recorded in the Chronicles of Battle Abbey when it was donated to Battle Abbey, along with a monastic house known as Llandeulyddog, in about 1110.
Carmarthen, Carmarthenshire
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!
