The Venerable Philip Morris, Archdeacon of Margam and
Priest in Charge of The Parish of Ewenny and St. Brides Major

All Saints' Church, Southerndown, is a sister church to St. Bridget's.
 

The Parish (or Benefice) of Ewenny and St. Brides Major is in the Diocese of Llandaff.

It is widely believed that St. Brigid (St. Bridget) visited Wales and possibly the village.  She founded a religious community at Kildare in Ireland in the 5th century around the time of St. Patrick and is the patron saint of dairy maids, infants, midwives, blacksmiths, poets, nuns and students.  St. Bridget's Day is celebrated on 1st February. 

Five bells were given by Caroline Countess of Dunraven in 1851, in memory of her parents.  The church clock, which is maintained by the Community Council, was given by parishioners and friends in memory of those who fell in the Great War and a dedication service was held on Sunday, 9th November, 1919.  A re-dedication service was held on Saturday, 18th November, 1939 following restoration work that included: new lead roof; new floors; re-casting of the five bells into six with new and up-to-date fittings; and renovation of the church clock; at a total cost of £800.
