Site Notes

RCAHMW/1937, 109-110: `Parish church of St. Sadwrn stands near the middle of the parish and consists of a continuous chancel and nave with a N. chapel and N. porch. It was re-built in 1881 on the old foundations and the North Porch was then added. The Chapel is of uncertain date; it is probable that the Chancel and Nave represent the extent of the original church. The roof of the chapel has been reconstructed but retains some older arch-braced trusses, and four similar trusses remain in the nave'.

Edwards/1986, 22, Williams/1980, 19 and Miller/1979, 11, all argue that Saturninus may have founded a religious community at the site in the sixth century.
