SN0234 : Pontfaen parish church
taken 11 years ago, near to Pontfaen, Pembrokeshire/Sir Benfro, Wales
Pontfaen parish church
One of many churches in the area dedicated to St Brynach. Interestingly, the OS first edition gives it as "St Bernard's Church" - all subsequent say "St Brynach's". "Brynach" was frequently rearranged to Byrnach, as in "Llanfyrnach", and the latin form was Sanctus Bernacus, so confusion with Bernard occurs. There is also a "Bernard's Well" in Henry's Moat nearby, with a chapel dedicated to St Brynach.
