St Baglan's is small and steeped in history. From the circular churchyard, the 6th-century inscribed stone, the "pirate" grave, the cross slabs, medieval roof and Georgian pews, it's a deeply special place. A clump of gnarled oaks stretch their branches protectively around the church.
Life. Baglan is said, on doubtful evidence, to have been a Breton prince, the son of Ithel Hael. He studied at Saint Illtud 's monastic school at Llanilltud Fawr ( Llantwit Major) [1] and later travelled to the Vale of Neath as a missionary. He founded the church at Baglan and lived in a cell adjoining it. [2]

History. St. Baglan’s church in Llanfaglan was built in the 13th century, but the cemetery surrounding the building and the stones from the 5th and 6th centuries in its structure, indicate that it was built on the site of a much older temple, which according to tradition is attributed to a saint from the 7th century, Baglan ap Dingad.
