St Elidyr Church, East Williamston An information board in the village states, "The name Williamston dates from the Middle Ages when Anglo-Norman influence was strong. Traces of the system of farming of that period can be seen in the long narrow fields of the present landscape. The green is part of the village common. The church was built in stone at this time (and largely rebuilt in the 19th century)."
