Commemoration stone at Llangyndeyrn
This photo was taken during the week of celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the village of Llangyndeyrn's salvation from being flooded. The stone stands beside the main road outside the church hall of St Cyndeyrn's Church.
In 1960 the Swansea Water Corporation chose the section of the Gwendraeth Fach valley from Llangyndeyrn up to Porthyrhyd as their preferred (i.e. cheapest) of six possible sites to create a new reservoir.
When the inhabitants read about this in the newspaper they immediately gathered together and swore to fight the project to the bitter end. By blockading field entrances and protesting they drove the unwanted visitors away resulting in an alternative site being chosen in 1963.
This is why there is now a reservoir at Llyn Brianne Image
The centre of the plaque on the commemorative stone bears the phrase "MEWN UNDOD MAE NERTH" which translates to "Strength in Unity".

Church of St Cyndeyrn
The village church, given a Grade II* listing https://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/300009399-church-of-st-cyndeyrn-llangyndeyrn#.WUPvz9QrLGg in 1966. Parts of the building's exterior date back to the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries, with similar features retained inside too, but as might be expected there have been extensions and alterations & repairs over the years, the most recent of note being the addition of a stained glass window in 1979.

Llangyndeyrn Parish Church
The large parish of Llangyndeyrn (once spelt Llangendeirne) gets its name from the wandering British saint Cyndeyrn, to whom the church is dedicated. Cyndeyrn (Old British: Kentigernos) is conceivably the Kentigern who also founded Glasgow, where he is known as St Mungo. The large circular churchyard testifies to its great age.
