The borough of Laugharne was founded by charter of 1278, at which time the church was a parish church, belonging to the Rural Deanery of St Clears and a prebend of Winchester Cathedral.
A medieval tile and what is thought to have been part of a canopied tomb, were found in the churchyard in 1927. The churchyard's eighteenth and nineteenth century monuments are Grade II listed for their group value. Dylan Thomas, Welsh poet and playwright (1914-1953), is buried here." Text Source:
