You are looking for the usual "stone" at the SE corner of church yard ouside of wall.
Driving up to the church is not recommended as it is a very quiet area overlooked by houses. Park at the waypoint and either walk up the driveway to the church or along public right of way across the field.
Church of St. Senwyr
The only church in Wales dedicated to this saint.
A much restored C12 church rebuilt most recently in Elizabethan times, refurbished in Victorian times and rededicated in 1976. The church is said to be a building of Early English style consisting of a chancel, nave, and western tower with a gable on each face and South porch.
Above the porch is a replica of the sundial crafted by Thomas Truman of
Pant-y-Lliwydd farm. An interesting feature inside the church is the circa C14 effigy located within the sanctuary. Other features include wall paintings uncovered in 1968 during restoration work.
Outside in the church yard is a large cross which was restored in the early C20 but the base of the cross was present in the churchyard as early as the C13. The original cross is said to have been sited at nearby St Mary Hill and linked with crosses at Llangan and Coychurch.
“If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
There is also a Church Micro Stats & Information page found via the Bookmark list”
