Llangolman – St Colman

No description or valuation of this benefice is contained in the Valor. Eccl.  George Owen states that it was a curacy which, together with the curacy of llandeilo, belonged to the vicarage of Maenclochog, that vicarage being in the patronage of the Queen, as part of the possessions of the monastery {of St Dogmaels].--Owen's Pem.  See under Maenclochog.

In 1536-7 a lease of the rectories of Maenclochog, Llandeilo and Llancolman was granted by the Crown to John Leche of La Hadden [Llawhaden] in South Wales.--State Papers.

The living according to Bacon's Liber Regis (1786) was united to llandeilo and Maenclochog, and the same authority gives the following details in regard to it:--Llangolm Cur. (St Colman).   Hugh Bowen, clerk, 1765.

On 11 July 1877, the livings of Maenclochog, Llandeilo, and Llangolman were united under an Order in Council.

The earliest mention of an incumbent of this curacy, is William Crowther in 1765.  For later institutions see under Maenclochog.
