Grid Reference 460891

In its farmyard setting, this ancient church dedicated to St. David is said to have been built by Henry de Gower, Bishop of St. David's, 1328-1347.

The chancel is not in line with the nave but inclined to the south as a reminder to worshippers that when Jesus Christ was crucified, he leant his head to one side. The windows of plain glass allow fine countryside views. Memorial slabs are of interest, the oldest to the Rev. Silvanus Prosser, vicar of Llandewi who died in 1737. The tower at the west end, with its saddle-back roof, houses a single bell said to be the largest and loudest in Gower. After restoration in 1876 and again in 1905 the building re-opened for divine service. Registers date from 1718.
The church is open from Easter to the end of October.
