Medieval church on the Gower dedicated to Rhidian and Illtud.
While the place-name suggests a dedication of the church to Rhidian, its association with Illtud dates back to a reference by Rice Merrick in 1578. Perhaps the dedication to Illtud was added to the original dedication of Rhidian.More information
