Margam Abbey.

Aberavon was granted Borough status between 1304-1307 by Leisan ap Morgan, Lord of Afan.

The boundaries of the ancient borough were similar to those of the present ecclesiastical parish of Aberavon.

The current St Mary's Church site dates back to the 11th century, and there is detailed history on all of our churches on this web site.

Today the parish ministers to much of the town of Port Talbot, the Sandfields estate and surrounding communities.

As a parish of the Church in Wales we are committed to upholding the historic faith in Jesus Christ revealed to us in Scripture and the Creeds, within the Anglican tradition that emerged in the 16th Century here in the United Kingdom.
