I went for a walk yesterday evening and managed to get slightly lost on the hills and ended up a long way from where I had parked but saw this lovely sunset as I trudged back up the hill!

Dedicated to Madoc, a Celtic saint, who is reputed to have founded a church in the 6th century. The 13th century building was restored in 1865.

Set in the window sill of the first window is a lettered stone dated from the 6th century. Discovered in 1861 in the walls of the old parsonage house it commemorates 'Advenctus son of Guanus'.



In the west wall is a crude pillar cross and a boundary marker dating from the 7th - 9th centuries, whilst the present font is probably Norman.

Rev. J.D. Davies, the famous Gower historian, who was a skilled woodcarver, was Rector of Llanmadoc and Cheriton 1860-1911. He carved the oak altar frontal and led the major restoration begun in 1865.
He also built the Old Rectory across the road from the church.
