St David
Blaenporth, Ceredigion
Situated on the Pilgrimage trail to St David's Cathedral the present Grade ll listed building was erected in 1865 although there has been a place of worship here since before 1066.
The parish church is dedicated to the local saint, St Llawddog. Although the present building is relatively modern, it is on an important ancient site, and was the 'bishop house' of the cantref of Emlyn. The church has a 12th century font carved with five relief faces.
The village has long been a centre of coracle fishing although licences are no longer available, the coracle centre is now the predominant feature of the tourist map. The bridge divides the village in two, the northern half in Ceredigion and the south in Carmarthenshire. The bridge was made by the same firm that made the bridge in Pontypridd, significant for the large cylindrical spandrel hole.
