Kidwelly Priory

Kidwelly Priory was a Benedictine abbey in Kidwelly, Wales (in Welsh, Kidweli).

Roger, bishop of Salisbury (d.1139), a Norman invader founded the priory of Kidwelly, but it seems to have been a place of Celtic Christian veneration of Saint Cadog for some centuries prior to that.

It was a daughter abbey of Sherborne Abbey, and although well documented in the historical record it appears to have remained small for its extent. It was dissolved 1539, by Henry VIII.

Today the abbey remains a parish church, St Mary's with much of the surviving fabric dates to the fourteenth century, c. 1320.
