Lat/Lng: 51.6120611617,-2.88479675042
Former church, in ruins since at least the eighteenth century, the site of which is adjacent to Llanbedr Hall. The site is marked (with dedication to Peter) on the second edition six-inch OS map, although the first edition six-inch map gives John the Baptist. The extant church of Llandevaud, also dedicated to Peter, is barely a mile to the east, which Browne Willis also lists as ruined. The place-name, inferring the dedication to Peter, is attested in the Book of Llandaff in the twelfth century, and the dedication is specifically cited in 1291.
