Castle Morris, HAVERFORDWEST, SA62 5ET

See handmade award winning cheese being made at this family-run cheese farm.

This photo, taken in 1983, shows the finished cheeses waiting to be put aside to mature. Leon Downey and his family made this highly acclaimed range of cheese using milk from their own dairy herd, for almost 30 years until Government prohibitions relating to bovine TB forced him to quit.

Built, rebuilt, extended, modernised - this chapel dates variously from 1746, 1749, 1791 or 1862. The gates are dated 1930, a recent addition! Only the third Baptist Chapel to be built in Wales.

This OS cut mark can be found on the NW angle of the chapel. It marks a point 94.619m above mean sea level.

The notice leaning against the wall on the right states that the cheesemakers have retired after 30 years in business here. The restaurant (left) remains but Llangloffan cheese will made elsewhere in future. Stopping here to watch and buy has been a staple of many holidays in North Pembrokeshire so the cheese centre will be much missed.

The chapel, a striking presence in this tiny hamlet, dates from 1706 in its earliest guise, with later additions and improvement as dated - even the wrought iron gate is marked 1930. There is no burials here however. The building caught the attention of the artist John Piper whose original print is in the Tate see http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/ViewWork?cgroupid=999999974&workid=12048&searchid=13688&tabview=image There is also a hymn melody named Llangloffan - a version of a traditional Welsh song tune.

Could not obtain a good close-up photograph of the tablet on the wall in Llangloffan Baptist chapel Image The tablet commemorates the local 18th century hymn writer, William Lewis, Abermawr, Mathry. See http://yba.llgc.org.uk/en/s-LEWI-WIL-1786.html?query=william+lewis&field=name

The original chapel was built over three hundred years ago in 1706, and rebuilt and extended in 1749, 1761 and 1862 to seat over 400. The house by the chapel is the former manse built around 1860 to house an employed minister. There is an 1885 photograph showing the chapel and the manse taken from approximately the same position as this photograph on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/llgc/3746273090 .
