St Llawddog's, Cilgerran
The mediaeval church here was demolished and this substantial Victorian Gothic replacement was completed in 1853 sparing only the original C15 tower.
Llawddog was a C6 Celtic saint, son of the king of Usk, whose cult was established on the banks of the Teifi and also on Bardsey. The Normans switched the dedication to St Lawrence while they held sway.

Memorial to Thomas Phaer of Cilgerran
This memorial in the church is a modern one that commemorates an important C16 resident of the village, the first writer in English to publish a book on paediatrics, "The Boke of Chyldren", in 1545. See http://www.neonatology.org/classics/phaire/index.html
Thomas Phaer, as well as practising medicine, was a lawyer, a translator of Virgil's Aeneid and MP for Cardigan from 1555 to 1559.
He lived at Fforest in Cilgerran, where he was constable of the castle, and died there leaving 3 daughters.
He was described by the C16 local historian George Owen as "a man honoured for his learninge, commended for his governmente,and beloved for his pleasante natural conceiptes; he chose Pembrokeshire for his earthly place, where he lived worshipfully, and ended his days to the greaffe of all good men at the Forest of Cilgerran."
