St Dogmaels (Welsh: Llandudoch) is a village, parish[2] and community in Pembrokeshire, Wales, on the estuary of the River Teifi, a mile downstream from the town of Cardigan in neighbouring Ceredigion. A little to the north of the village, further along the estuary, lies Poppit Sands beach. The parish includes the small settlement of Cippyn, south of Cemaes Head.[3]

Name


The English and Welsh names seem to bear no similarity, but it has been suggested that possibly both names refer to the same saint or founder Dogfael (Dogmael), with ‘mael’ (prince) and ‘tud’ (land or people of) being added to Dog/doch as in Dog mael and Tud doch.[4]



History


The village contains the remains of a 12th-century Tironian abbey, which was in its day one of the richer monastic institutions in Wales. Adjacent to the abbey ruins is the parish church (Church in Wales) of St Thomas, which appears successively to have occupied at least three sites close to or within the abbey buildings. The present building is a respectable minor Victorian edifice and contains the Ogam Sagranus stone. St. Dogmael's was once a marcher borough. George Owen of Henllys, in 1603, described it as one of five Pembrokeshire boroughs overseen by a portreeve.[5]


In the 1830s, the parish's population was 2,109.[6] In 1832, boundary changes meant that a part of Pembrokeshire, including a part of St Dogmaels, was included in Cardiganshire. This was reversed by the Welsh Assembly in 2002.[2]


In 2006 the village won the Wales Calor Village of the Year competition after beating Trefriw in the final.[7]



Governance


An electoral ward of the same name exists, stretching to include the community of Nevern. The population taken at the 2011 census is 2,218.[8]



Shakespeare in St Dogmaels Abbey


A Shakespeare play is performed annually in the abbey during the summer since the first play was performed in 1987. The actors are both local and from all parts of Great Britain.[9]



Twinning


St Dogmaels is twinned with the village of Trédarzec in Côtes-d'Armor, Brittany.
