Church of the Week
Nevern, Pembrokeshire
Nevern St Brynach Church in Pembrokeshire, Wales, was first built in 540 by St Brynach himself. There is lots of sacred heritage in the area, and at St Brynach Church, history is quite literally written into the walls itself. The oldest section of the current church is the tower, which was built in 1380. But despite periods of rebuilding, stones from the first church remain at the site today. These stones feature inscriptions in Latin, as well as Ogham – an ancient Irish alphabet. In 2020 the National Churches Trust awarded Nevern St Brynach a £15,000 grant to repair the tower roof, so that this building will still be here for generations to come.
