These photos show modern views of the historic village of St. Brides-super-Ely.

Road sign Crossroads looking south
This sign welcomes travellers from St. George's, the village located due south of St. Bride's via a narrow and treacherous road. Looking south toward Peterston-super-Ely from the crossroads of the A4232 and the road to St. George's.
Stream in front of church Stream and meadow gate
A small brook traverses the village in front of the parish church.  Until recently, this was the principal water supply for the village. This gate leads into a meadow adjacent to the church.  A community well is located in the meadow, near the stream on the south side of the church.
Former Ebenezer Welsh Congregational Church Ty Coch cottage
This now-private residence was used as Ebenezer Welsh Congregational Church beginning in March, 1834.  The garden contains a small cemetery once affiliated with the church.  There is no public access. This house, known as Ty Coch ("red house"), and its yard are typical of older cottage homes in the village.  Note that the house retains its original name, even though it is no longer painted red.
St. Bride's parish church Sarah
The Church of St. Bridget has been a focal point of the village for more than 800 years. St. Bride's village and parish boast a large number of children to continue its legacy.
Meadow Ty Carreg
This large, private yard, located across the road from the parish church, is identified on 19th Century village maps as a "meadow." The Welsh have always been recyclers.
 Ty Carreg ("stone house"), which was probably built as a residence about the same time as the parish church (13th Century), is now a garage attached to a modern home.
