More about this scene

According to legend St Kennith was sent down the river Loughor in a coracle, landed on Worm's Head and founded a monastery at Llangennith. Around 1474, a petition to Henry VI was drafted complaining that a priest named Hugh Haddesley and Sir Hugh John, taking advantage of the turmoil caused by the Wars of the Roses, 'have seized on the priory of Llangennith'.

My late sister had several holidays in Llangennith in the 1920's. Because her father was killed in WW1, I have always assumed that these were paid for either by the army or the then British Legion. Does anyone know anything about the exact location of the holiday site, and what person or organisation might have provided the funding?
