Carmarthenshire (; Welsh: Sir Gaerfyrddin [siːr gɑːɨrˈvərðɪn] or informally Sir Gâr) is a county in the south-west of Wales. The three largest towns are Llanelli, Carmarthen and Ammanford. Carmarthen is the county town and administrative centre. The county is known as the "Garden of Wales" and is also home to the National Botanic Garden of Wales. Carmarthenshire has been inhabited since prehistoric times. The county town was founded by the Romans, and the region was part of the Kingdom of Deheubarth in the High Middle Ages. After invasion by the Normans in the 12th and 13th centuries it was subjugated, along with other parts of Wales, by Edward I of England. There was further unrest in the early 15th century, when the Welsh rebelled under Owain Glyndŵr, and during the English Civil War. Carmarthenshire is mainly an agricultural county, apart from the southeastern part which was once heavily industrialised with coal mining, steel-making and tin-plating. In the north of the county, the woollen industry was very important in the 18th century. The economy depends on agriculture, forestry, fishing and tourism. West Wales was identified in 2014 as the worst-performing region in the United Kingdom along with the South Wales Valleys with the decline in its industrial base, and the low profitability of the livestock sector.Carmarthenshire, as a tourist destination, offers a wide range of outdoor activities. Much of the coast is fairly flat; it includes the Millennium Coastal Park, which extends for ten miles to the west of Llanelli; the National Wetlands Centre; a championship golf course; and the harbours of Burry Port and Pembrey. The sandy beaches at Llansteffan and Pendine are further west. Carmarthenshire has a number of medieval castles, hillforts and standing stones. The Dylan Thomas Boathouse is at Laugharne.

The English Congregational Church in Carmarthen was built in 1861 by Poulton and Woodman, an experienced firm of chapel builders. It is similar to the Presbyterian church they built in Brecon in 1872. The English Congregational Church is rendered more conspicuous by being set at an angle to the street. It is built of rock-faced stone with Bath stone features and is in an exaggeratedly Gothic style. There are a lot of strange angles and junctions, a steep gable end with a tall window, a tower with spiral stair and a slender spire on an open bell platform. There are other strange features and by contrast, the interior is quite plain, with arch-braced roof trusses, and an organ recess with a pointed apse. The pulpit is polygonal and the single gallery has a front made from diagonally arranged boarding.The church was designated as a Grade II listed building on 19 May 1981, being "a remarkably confident example of Gothic chapel architecture". The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales curates the archaeological, architectural and historic records for this church.
