This was the church school. Lewis's Topographical Dictionary (1833) says "A parochial school, for the gratuitous instruction of poor children, is supported by subscription." The present building was constructed on the previous school's site in 1854, and functioned until 1905.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Lampeter Velfrey (in Welsh Llanbedr Efelfre) is a large parish comprising the southern half of the ancient commote of Efelfre. It belonged to the Welsh-speaking, northern-eastern part of Pembrokeshire, but began to be anglicized in the 19th century, and there is now only a small minority of native Welsh speakers. By contrast, Llanddewi Velfrey (to the north of the Afon Marlais) still has a majority of native Welsh speakers.
