St Gwynour’s Church - 51.63360169437672, -4.098660135267191
Clearance work being  undertaken of bushes  and trees, exposing old graves.

St. Gwynour’s Church, Llanyrnewydd, Penclawdd, SA4 3JH

The church is named after the Breton St Eneour and rebuilt in 1850 in the Gothic revival style, replacing a medieval chapel of ease. It is entered through the west end of the only spired tower on Gower, the lower part of which forms a porch. The predominant feature of the church is the striking east window. The church possesses a remarkable silver double-beaker chalice, open at both ends. It belongs to the Cromwellian period, bearing the hallmark 1657. It has been referred to as the ‘Leper cup of Llanyrnewydd’ as it was thought the lepers took communion from one side of it.

The Robbie Evans Memorial Lecture July 2023
Local historian and Warden for The Ministry Area of Gower, Pam Dennis, gave the first of an annual lecture series in memory of Robbie Evans, much loved friend of St Gwynour’s, carpenter and historian. Drawing from Robbie’s own work, as well as Gower historian Geoffrey Orin and Breton scholar Yves le Therisian, and others, Pam delivered an inspiring lecture and answered questions, before sharing further over food and drinks. It was a wonderful opening to the series and Pam’s preparation notes (though she did not need to resort to reading them out!) can be downloaded here:-
