Brief Description:

St David's Church is a Grade II listed building that is medieval in origin. Historically depicted as St Arthen's church it is situated next to the Afon Gwynon in the small community of Llanrthne in Carmarthenshire. The churchyard is enterd via a lychgate in its southern boundary, which borders the B4300.

A 12th century wheel-cross, known as the 'Cross of Elmat', is built into the ground floor of the tower and is thought to have been removed from nearby Cae'r Castell, with fragments of early Christian monument stones believed to be built into the churchyard wall.

Constructed of limestone and old red sandstone rubble, the building includes a three-storeyed, late 15th century whitewashed tower with crenellated parapet and a 15th century gargoyle. The building was restored in 1682, 1826 and the late 19th century.
