Description: St Decuman's, Rhoscrowther A large cruciform mediaeval church which now stands alone, almost the sole survivor of the deserted village of Rhoscrowther. Supposedly founded by St Decuman(us) or Degman, an early Christian saint who was born here and crossed the Severn in a coracle to Somerset where, in Watchet, is the only other church dedicated to him. It is thought that his cell that once formed part of the church; there is also St Degman's well not far away. The earliest parts of the church go back to C13/14. It was restored twice in the C19 and again in 1910. Services are still held for the exiled villagers.
