Eglwyscummin
community in Carmarthenshire, Wales, United Kingdom
Eglwyscummin (Welsh: Eglwys Gymyn) is a community situated on the south-western boundary of Carmarthenshire in south-west Wales. It is made up of the three ward parishes of Ciffig, Eglwyscummin, and Marros, all surrounding the village of Red Roses, which lies some three miles south of Whitland and forms part of the Laugharne Township electoral ward.
The area consists mostly of farmland and is traversed from east to west by the main A477 road leading to south Pembrokeshire and the Pembroke Dock ferry port, crossed at Red Roses by the B4314 running southeastwards from the county boundary at Tavernspite to the seaside resort of Pendine Sands.
Administration
Carmarthenshire County Council administers the area with Eglwyscummin Community Council providing some local direction. Eglwyscummin Community Association has, on occasion, been responsible for providing a more open forum for general members of the Community. So too had The Taf Myrddin Community Network which provided a direct interface between the County Council Executive and the general public. Although successful, the Network was ended by the County Council in early 2009.
Places
Places of worship include Ciffig parish church, the grade I listed parish church of St Margaret Marloes and St. Lawrence's parish church in Marros.
Eglwyscummin Community Centre opened on 1 March 2008 and is situated in Red Roses with a Memorial Garden adjacent which was built by members of the local Young Farmers Group.

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5348097. Authority coordinates are 51.766, -4.566. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
