Llanddewi (Gower)

Llanddewi, on the limestone plateau of south Gower, is regularly paired with Llanmadoc in the medieval records — the two parishes together made up the Knights Hospitaller's interest on the Gower peninsula, held as a single manor under Slebech commandery.

Like Llanmadoc, Llanddewi is often loosely called a Templar site, but the surviving documentation is Hospitaller. The estate combined arable, sheep pasture and rights to the wreck and driftwood of a treacherous stretch of coast.

The medieval church of St David sits in the middle of the parish, and a fine dovecote on the neighbouring farm survives from the later monastic phase of the estate.
