The present church of St Bledrws, in the village of Betws Bledrws (sometimes spelt Bettws Bledrws), near Lampeter, Ceredigion, Wales, is a 19th-century building. However, the same site is believed to have been previously used for other places of worship since much earlier times. The Coflein website states that the older church was in mediaeval times dedicated to St Michael, although the dedication had been changed to St Bledrws by 1833. According to recently issued ''Notes on the History of Betws Bledrws Church'' (for distribution within the building), the spire and tower of the present church were built in 1830 – the date being on the weather-vane – and were possibly designed by the architect Charles Robert Cockerell.
