All Saints' Church, in Cellan is a Church in Wales parish church. Cellan is 3 miles (5 km) northeast of Lampeter, Wales. The church is a Grade II* listed building with part of it dating back to the medieval period. It belongs to the United Benefice of Lampeter.
All Saints' Church was built during the thirteenth or fourteenth centuries, possibly on top of a Bronze Age barrow,[1] and is thought to have originally been dedicated to Saint Callwen.[2] Another of its medieval features is its square-bowled font. The building has been subjected to minor changes throughout history, including several restorations. Its roof, once thatched, was replaced by slate in the seventeenth century.[2] The presence of a medieval rood loft was recorded in 1810, but has since been removed - perhaps during the Victorian restoration of 1861–62.[2]
