St Davidʼs Cemetery

Saint David's Church stands on the north side of the A4067 beyond Abercrave as you go up the valley towards Sennybridge, set back from the road with the churchyard in front. The cornerstone was laid on 19th June 1911 and the church, designed by J Cook Rees of Neath, was consecrated on 16th July 1912.

Abercrave became a parish of its own in 1925, and in 1957 its vicar also took on Callwen. The closing Eucharist was held on 10th April 2016, after 104 years of worship.

Burials have taken place in the churchyard for over a century. It includes war graves and remembrance graves, among them Jenkin Gildas Lewis, who died in the Second World War.
