St. Donat’s Church stands under the shadow of the castle now the base for Atlantic College. The church was built about 1100, soon after the Norman Conquest of Glamorgan. It is believed that it stands on the site of an older Celtic church and tradition has it that Caractacus had a stronghold here.
The church was enlarged about 1300 and later restoration work completed in 1878. The 16th Century Lady Chapel, converted to the Stradling Chapel in late 16th Century, contains tombs and sculptured memorials of the Stradling family. The Stradlings were an important and powerful family in the area, having owned the castle.
“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”
