The name comes from the Welsh Saint Gwytherin. == History & Amenities == The village has a church, dedicated to St. James the Elder. Llanvetherine is near Whitecastle, one of three important border castles built by the Marcher Lords after the Norman invasion of Wales to control this sector of the Welsh Marches.
