Caerfarchell (Welsh pronunciation: [kaɪrvɑːrxɛɬ]) is a small village in Pembrokeshire, Wales, 3 miles northeast of St Davids, close by the A487 road. It is in the community of St Davids and the Cathedral Close.
Description
[edit | edit source]Several houses are built around a small village green.
In 2001 the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority drew up a conservation statement with the help of villagers.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]It is believed the village originated in the 14th or 15th centuries.[2] Early medieval burials have been recorded. An early 19th century farm building opposite the chapel is a Grade II-listed building[3] and there are nine other listed buildings in the vicinity.[4]
Chapel
[edit | edit source]A Calvinist Methodist Chapel was built in 1763 and replaced by the current building in 1827. It is Grade II* listed.[5][6]
