Bishops’ home from home


Abergwili, near Carmarthen, was an odd place for the Bishop of St Davids to reside, being so far from St Davids …

Cathedral. But in 1541 there was a plan to replace the cathedral with one in Carmarthen. Jumping the gun – the cathedral never moved – the Bishop’s Palace in St Davids was abandoned in favour of the former college building at Abergwili. Now the building is a museum, where you can read more of the story by scanning the HistoryPoints QR codes by the entrance, or by clicking here
