Dist:0.7km<br/>The nave and chancel are not exactly in line. According to the explanatory leaflet "local tradition has it that the church was built like this to remind worshippers that when Jesus Christ was crucified... His head leant to one side." The church dates back to the C14 but Victorian restoration swept away the famous box pew used by the squire of Henllys and his family.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Written on a notice outside:- St. David's Church was built in the 14th Century, and stands in a long tradition of Christian witness in Gower. It has an unusual setting in a farmyard, and fine views across the countryside. These features together with the simplicity of the church, contribute to its special charm and sense of peace. The faithful, through many generations, have worshipped within these walls and we welcome you to enjoy its beauty.

Dist:0.8km<br/>This isolated church serves a small community in south-west Gower. The beef-rearing farm is right next to the churchyard. The 46 Easting gridline passes through the middle of the nave, so the chancel and the farmyard are within SS4689.
