Saint Afan's Church is located in the village of Llanafan Fawr, Powys, in Wales. The name of the village honours Afan, its patron saint, who is said to have been buried there.[1]
There is an ancient yew tree in the churchyard, which may predate the time of Saint Afan. Combined with other factors suggesting an ancient origin for the site (a curvilinear churchyard and the dedication of the church to Saint Afan), an early medieval beginning for the church seems likely, although the building as we see it has been much rebuilt.
