Chapel of St Non
The Chapel of St Non is located on the coast near St David's in Pembrokeshire, West Wales.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sacred destinations )〕 Held by tradition to mark the birthplace of St David, the ruin cannot be accurately dated but is unusual in that it is aligned north-south rather than the usual east-west. Near to the ruined chapel is a retreat, a modern chapel and a holy well. The site was protected in the 1950s and is now the responsibility of the Welsh Heritage organisation Cadw.〔
==History==
The ruined Chapel of St. Non is close to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path a few miles from the city of St David's. According to Christian tradition, Saint Non (also known as Nonna or Nonnita) was born around AD 475 and was a daughter of Lord Cynyr Ceinfarfog who lived as a nun at Ty Gwyn near Whitesands Bay until she was raped by Prince Sant of Ceredigion. She gave birth at Caerfai to a boy, who became the patron saint of Wales, St David.
The ruin is thought to be on the site of St Non's house and to be one of the oldest Christian buildings in Wales. In medieval times the chapel was one of the main sites visited by Christian pilgrims.〔 Following the Protestant Reformation, pilgrimages stopped and the chapel was converted into a house before being used as a garden.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=St Non's Chapel )〕 The Grade II listed〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Description and essential historic landscape components )〕 site was taken over by the Welsh Heritage organisation Cadw in the 1950s.〔
