Background
History
The church of St Levan is medieval. It was heavily rebuilt in the twelfth century and extended in the fifteenth century. In 1874 it was restored by J. D. Sedding to a more medieval appearance. According to the Life of St Kybi, St Levan (properly Selevan, a Celtic form of Solomon) was a Cornishman and the father of Kybi. In the department of Morbihan are four places probably connected to the same saint, who probably lived in the 6th or 7th century. On the cliff at St Levan is St Levan's Well and below it the probable remains of his chapel, which were described by William Borlase in his Antiquities. William Alsa, a local priest, was hanged for taking part in the 1549 Prayer Book Rebellion.
