The Churchyard is massive best viewed on Google earth to get an idea of the size and scale of this churchyard cemetery.
Some of the older grave slabs, have been used to top the walls around the churchyard, as shown in one of my listing photos.
The Church in Wales is made up of over 900 parishes. If you live in Wales, you will live in a parish. Each parish covers a specific geographic area and is looked after by a cleric assigned to it. Each Parish may have several church's. The Parish of Llansamlet has three churches within its boundaries.
I could find no evidence of a plaque or sign with the church name or denomination, but I did speak to the Vicar, who confirmed it was a Church in Wales denomination, also shown on the Church in Wales web site.
