St Teilo's Church, Llandeilo

This large church is located in Church Street where it is conspicuous, with a very large churchyard. As a Christian centre, Llandeilo dates back to the sixth century. Very little is known about Saint Teilo, to whom the church is dedicated, but he seems to have travelled around Wales because there are several other churches dedicated to him in other places. He is believed to have made Llandeilo his main base and be buried there, although Llandaff Cathedral has disputed this. There is a legend that after his death, his body was placed in Llandeilo church and three clergy from different churches prayed that he could be buried in their churches (Llandeilo, Llandaff and his birthplace Penally).…
