![Dist:1.0km north<br/>at Pen-bedw. Although ruined, someone has gone to the trouble of clearing the vegetation which was smothering the church - see http://www.dyfedfhs.org.uk/pem/pemlfpw.htm . The nearby [[572018]] is now the church for this area.](http://s0.geograph.org.uk/photos/57/20/572000_21daf1d3_120x120.jpg "SN2039 : Church of St. Michael")
![Dist:1.1km east<br/>To quote from a leaflet available at the chapel: "In 1764 Morgan Jones the Elder, master of the nearby Cilwendeg Estate, was responsible for completely rebuilding the long neglected medieval chapel called Capel Colman at the western perimeter of Cilwendeg Park - a church so remote and forgotten that in 1721 it was singled out as being fit 'only for the solitary habitations of Owles and Jackdaws'. Morgan Jones the Younger again rebuilt the church in 1833-5 to the designs of one of his estate tenants, Daniel Davies of Blaenpwllddu Farm."
This was essentially a private chapel for the estate, the local parish church was the [[572000]] less than a mile away. Today St. Michael's is in ruins and this chapel is still in use for regular worship.](http://s2.geograph.org.uk/photos/57/20/572018_6cb7a66b_120x120.jpg "SN2138 : Capel Colman")
![Dist:1.7km east<br/>To quote from a leaflet available at [[572018]]: "this is a most remarkable ornamental grotto, and a rare survival in West Wales. It was built in the late 1820s for Morgan Jones the Younger (1787-1840), who inherited the Cilwendeg estate upon the death of his uncle. It is believed the ladies of Cilwendeg Mansion devised the original patterns for the interior decoration. This consists of a profusion of native seashells, minerals and coloured glass fragments arranged in primitive patterns and impressed into lime mortar panels."
