According to the Llanddewi Velfrey Community Council website: 'Llanddewi Velfrey is a small village situated 3 ? miles NE of Narberth and bisected by the A40 trunk road. The 2017 Electoral Register shows 295 on the electoral role and 150 homes with a mix of agricultural holdings and residential development from the late 1800's to the present day. The centre of the village, now close to the A40, was originally known as Commercial, after the pub of that name. The oldest part of the village and the settlement originally known as Llanddewi Velfrey is located about ? mile down a single- track lane looking south over a peaceful valley towards Lampeter Velfrey. The whole area has a rich history and is criss-crossed by a network of footpaths through the surrounding countryside that also connect to neighbouring settlements. The name goes back to pre-Norman times. The `Llan? or church is dedicated to St David or Dewi Sant, patron saint of Wales. `Velfrey? derives from Efelffre, a pre-Norman territorial unit which also covered neighbouring Lampeter Velfrey and Crinow. The village has its own post office, shop and filling station adjacent to the A40. As well as the Church, there are two chapels, Ffynnon (NPRN 11067) on the western outskirts of the village and Bethel (NPRN 11066) to the east. The spacious village hall is in the centre of the village on the road going north to Llanfallteg. It is used for functions, social events, group meetings that include line dancing, ballroom dancing, aikido, short mat bowls, WI, and Welcome Friends.' In July 2018, a fish and chips shop called Hank Marvin opened on the western side of the village.
