All Saints' Church

The church features a western tower, south aisle, and Lady Chapel, with intricate stained glass windows depicting biblical stories and local maritime scenes.

First documented in 1141, the medieval structure underwent major reconstruction in 1915, adding a new nave, chancel, and north aisle to accommodate growing congregation numbers.

The stained glass memorial window from 1977 commemorates the Mumbles lifeboat disaster of 1947, displaying detailed scenes of lifeboatmen at work.

Located near Oystermouth Castle on a hillside at 12.4 meters elevation, the church provides daily services and distributes approximately 15,000 communions annually.

The churchyard contains the grave of Thomas Bowdler, the English editor whose name became a verb for removing offensive content from literature.
