More about this scene

The name Lampeter derives from Llanbedr, or St Peter's, to whom this church is dedicated. It is the third church on the site; this one was designed by R J Withers in 1867. Few of the late 18th- and early 19th-century visitors to the county passed through Lampeter, but one visitor who walked from Carmarthen to Chester stayed a weekend in the town in 1836. He noted how well and fashionably the people were dressed as they walked to church.

MY BROTHER AND I WERE EVACUATED TO LAMPETER IN JULY OF 1944 COMING FROM LONDON AS OUR HOUSE WAS BOMBED. WE WERE TAKEN IN BY MARY AND JOHN POWELL IN "BARLEY MOW".  EVEN THOUGH THESE WERE TRYING TIMES FOR OUR PARENTS, IT WAS THE HAPPIEST TIME OF MY CHILDHOOD. AUDREY [LATTER] VOELKER
