EWENNY
The unique rural village of Ewenny, just south of Bridgend, is nestled on the edge of the Ewenny River with a garden centre and craft shop, but the highlight of the village is Ewenny Priory and Church. In 1141 the Church of St. Michael became the beginning of the Benedictine Priory of Ewenny granted to the abbey of St. Peter at Gloucester together with the churches of St. Brides Major, St,Michael at Colwinston and the manor at Lampha. It was founded by Norman nobleman, Maurice de Londres, and is widely regarded as one of the finest fortified religious buildings in Britain. The village is also the home of Ewenny Pottery founded in 1610 and still worked by the same family. It is the oldest working pottery in Wales. Visit the Ewenny Craft Centre. There is plenty of opportunity to purchase Pine or Pottery.
