The Diocese of St Davids covers the historic extent of Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire, and Pembrokeshire, together with a small part of western Glamorgan. The episcopal see is the Cathedral Church of St David in the City of St David's, Pembrokeshire. The present cathedral, which was begun in 1181, stands on the site of a monastery founded in the sixth century by Saint David.
The bishop's residence is Llys Esgob in Abergwili, Carmarthenshire.
The office of Bishop of St David's has existed since the founding of the cathedral. The current bishop, the 128th, is the Right Reverend (J) Wyn Evans, who was elected on 1 September, consecrated on 29 November at Llandaff Cathedral, and enthroned in St Davids Cathedral on 6 December 2008.
