The 'Cathedral of Gower' was probably built around the opening of the 14th century to replace the one at Landimore, which had been affected by the encroachment of the sea on low-lying land. The two churches of Landimore and Cheriton are never mentioned together in an authentic document, both being dedicated to St. Cadoc.

The entrance to the church is a fine example of a doorway from the 'Decorated' period and the Norman Font, is said to have come from the extinct church of Landimore. In the arch at the end of the nave can be seen the old rood loft entrance, which was approached up steps set in the wall of the choir.

The church was restored in 1974 by Rev. J.D. Davies who personally carved the choir stalls, altar rails, altar and embossed wooden ceiling. He was buried close to the south wall in Cheriton churchyard. Also buried there is Ernest Jones, the disciple and biographer of Sigmund Freud.
