Llancarfan

Llancarfan is a rural village and community, west of Barry near Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan, in Wales. The village has a pub and a well-known parish church, the site of Saint Cadoc's 6th century abbey, famed for its learning. Saint Canice, Caradoc of Llancarfan and many other Welsh holy men studied there. [CathEncy|wstitle=Llancarvan] The spacious church, which in the later Middle Ages belonged to Gloucester Abbey, contains a stoup and interesting remains of a rood screen, now adapted as a reredos.
