History
In 1844: "Of the five churches which formerly existed [in the town of Carmarthen], only those of St Peter and Llanllwch are remaining; the others, not being used for sacred purposes, have long since been suffered to fall into decay... The church or chapel of Llanllwch is not distinguished by any remarkable architectural features: the living is a perpetual curacy, in the patronage of the Vicar of St. Peter's; net income £108... near Llanlwch are some remains of an extensive encampment; and an entrenchment on a smaller scale, which was probably thrown up during the great civil war, may be seen in a field near the gas-works...".
