St. Gwynour’s Church, Llanyrnewydd, Penclawdd

The Church of Llanernewydd, Penclawdd is dedicated to St. Gwynour,  after a Breton Saint, Saint Eneour whose feast day is the 10th November.

The Church  was completely rebuilt in 1850  in the Gothic revival style.  The Church consists of a chancel, nave and western tower with spire. Unlike the majority of the Gower Churches, it is entered through the west end of the tower, the lower part of which forms a porch. The predominant feature of the Church is the beautiful east window. On the north wall, there is a memorial tablet to those men of the parish who fell in WW1

St. Gwynour’s  Church  possesses a remarkable, silver ,double-beaker chalice. It belongs to the Cromwellian  period  and bears the hallmark 1657. It has been referred to as the” Leper cup of Llanyrnewydd” as it was thought the lepers took communion from one side of it.
