This attractive Church is dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin and was built by Anglo-Norman settlers around the year 1200. It overlooks the wonderful four-mile sweep of Rhossili Bay and the famous Worm's Head.

The church is simple in style. The doorway is a fine example of work of the late Norman period, rare in Wales and unique in Gower. A scratch dial sundial is on the side of the doorway, showing that at some time it must have been open to the sky and may support the theory that it came from the older church in the sand dunes below the village, which was excavated in 1980. The nave contains several stained glass windows and memorials including one to Petty Officer Edgar Evans, who died with Captain Scott in the Antarctic in 1912 and was a Rhossili man. The chancel has a low side or 'lepers' window and the churchyard has graves with inscriptions going back to 1784.

The church is open from Easter to the end of October. Adjacent car park
