St Brynach's

St Brynach's - The ruins of St Brynach's Church in Cwm Yr Eglwys

 

The Church of St Brynach, which sits on a pre-Norman site, was severely damaged during storms in 1850 and 1851 when the chancel was destroyed by the sea. The building subsequently suffered catastrophic damage during the great storm of 1859 (the Royal Charter Storm) and was abandoned, leaving just the west wall standing. This is the only part that now survives, sitting atop of the retreated sea wall defences together with the remnants of the churchyard and looks out over Newport Bay.
