Summary

[edit]
Description
English: View from St Govan's Chapel, Pembrokeshire St Govan's Chapel is a tiny cell measuring 18 by 12 feet.

A flight of worn stone steps leads up to the tiny chapel where St Govan (or Gawain) had his cell. Most of it dates from the thirteenth century, but parts of it - the altar and a seat cut in the rock - may be much earlier, possibly even as early as the sixth century, when the saint reputedly established a hermitage here after miraculously escaping pursuit by pirates. The rock itself, so the story goes, opened and closed around him, keeping him hidden until his pursuers had gone.
