St. Donat’s Church which stands under the shadow of the castle (now the base for Atlantic College); it was built about 1100, soon after the Norman Conquest of Glamorgan. It is believed that it stands on the site of an older Celtic church and tradition has it that Caractacus had a stronghold here. The church was enlarged about 1300 and later restoration work completed in 1878. The dedication is to St.Donat, a Celtic Christian who became Bishop of Fiesole near Florence who became the patron saint of sailors.
