Eglwys Fair-A-Churig Parish Church   :   Return to menu

When We first started collecting Carmarthenshire Parish Church Photographs in 1994, it was our intention to photograph all Carmarthenshire Parish Churches which still existed, we have at last accomplished this, it was though that This Church 'Eglwys Fair-A-Churig'  was one of the many lost churches of Carmarthenshire, until, Catherine Davies, contacted Carmarthenshire FHS and asked if we new anything of the Parish Church, Catherine and her husband had just bought a farm and the ruins of the Church came with it.  Unfortunately there is not much information surrounding this church or its parish, parish registers have been lost and those which are left are as follows:
