A small former estate church on the edge of the Pantyderi Estate, serving the Village of Blaenffos, designed by R. J. Withers wooden spire.

S. MARY, LLANFAIR NANTGWYN, PEMBROKESHIRE — Mr. Withers has ingeniously transformed into a very good looking unpretending Pointed church, a structure full of sash windows built here about one hundred years ago. The walls are retained; good plain windows being inserted. The plan has chancel, nave, with western bell -gable, and a new vestry added to the north of the chancel. The chancel-arch and other new dressings are of Bath-stone imported ready cut into this remote district. The cost does not exceed £500. [Ecclesiologist February 1856 page 78]
