view of church exterior - northeast view

Scene Description: Source caption: "Originally, as just the northern half of the structure (on the right), this was a single-celled chapel belonging to Black Monks of the Tironian Order at St Dogmael's Abbey, Llandudoch near Cardigan. The southern half was added in the ?C15, and rebuilt in 1889 - two cottages abutting had to be pulled down.[...] the church now lies some distance away from the present village of Mynachclog-ddu but old maps show this as the centre."
