Capel Cynon [moved to Cenarth?]

The church here appears listed in the Liber Regis (1786) in the Diocese of St David's. An entry in the September 1859 appendix to the 12th General Report from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England, acknowledges the right to the administration of the sacraments at the church here: "with the like consent of the said Connop Bishop of Saint David's testified as aforesaid we further represent that it appears to us to be expedient that banns of marriage should be published and that marriages baptisms churchings and burials should be solemnized or performed at such church and that the fees to be received in respect thereof should be paid and belong to the minister of the same church for the time being." The entry for this church in COFLEIN [www.coflein.gov.uk/en/site/97056/details/st-cynons-church-capel-cynon] [accessed 5 January 2020] notes: "The church is dedicated to the 'Celtic' St Cynon but there is no current evidence for early medieval date. The church was not listed in the 'Taxatio' of 1291 but as it was a chapelry, may have already been in existence. [...] The church is currently a chapelry to Llandysiliogogo parish. [...] The form of the pre-1820 church is not known. The church was rebuilt in 1820 on the same site, and in the same location as its predecessor, possibly retaining some of the earlier fabric." Evans (1914) writes of two fonts here; one is a painted wooden font which the author describes as "having a square-shaped bowl of painted deal, standing on a rotten stem"; the other one, "The stone Font belonging to this church is now in the parish church of Cenarth, Carmarthenshire."
