Schools, Llandygwydd, Cardiganshire

LLANDUGWYDD, CARDIGANSHIRE - These schools are to be remodelled by Mr Withers. It is an unusual plan, and rather an expensive one, to make detached buildings of both the boys' and the girls' school. Mr Withers has a difficult task which he has successfully accomplished. The original buildings were of the meanest kind; but with new wooden traceried windows and general improvements the result is exceedingly picturesque, especially a covered play-ground, opening by a simple arcade, forming the lower story of the boys' school and a cloister attached to one side of the girls’ building.  [Ecclesiologist April 1857 Page 131-132]

Schools sited immediately to the west of the churchyard closed in 1973, the two blocks having been re-allocated infants and juniors. Now church/church hall. The original school was built in 1847 according to Cardigan and Tivyside Advertiser report.
