Pendoylan Parish Church of St.Cadoc - Church of Wales - Dioceses of Llandaff. This church has been the site of Christian worship for over 800 years.

"The parish church of St Cadoc's (who was born circa 497), may well have been founded in the saints lifetime, but most of the building is 14th century. Restorations were made in the 15th and 16th century but most notably in the 19th century. The building is in the Norman style and has a massive embattled western tower containing a ring of six bells. The chancel arch is in the early perpendicular style of the 14th Century. The stairs to the rood loft are perfectly preserved, and in the chancel there is a priest's door which is walled up within."

"Parish church. 14th 15th 16th century perpendicular with 19th century alterations. Nave,
chancel, South porch and large embattled tower containing a ring of six bells. There are
some interesting features of the Church which can be definitely assigned to pre-
Reformation times, the chancel arch being in the early perpendicular style of the 14th
century. The stairs to the rood loft are perfectly preserved, and in the chancel there is a
priest’s door which is walled up within. Despite the fact that the surviving parish registers
date back only to 1727, it has been possible to compile a fairly complete list of incumbents
from Elizabethan times onwards. The first record of a priest of Pendoylan ‘Sacredos de
Pondewelin’ was of one ‘Urban’ who sometime prior to the year 1205 had given 12 acres of
land to the monks of Margam, his gift being confirmed by King John in that year. Listed at
grade II* for its medieval origins and special historic significance to the parish of Pendoylan." Text Source: (visit link)
