At {{convert|200|acre|ha}} it is one of the smallest parishes in Wales[1] but its rector was previously the superior of the vicar of the church at Solva[2] (today dependent upon nearby Whitchurch instead[3]). The parish of Whitchurch and St Elvis together form the community of Solva. NameThe name is a Latinized form of the Welsh saint Eilfyw, also well known by his Gaelic name Ailbe. Former forms of the name include Llanelvewe and Llanailfyw. According to Rhyddferch's 11th-century Life of Saint David, Elvis baptized Saint David[4] in {{sc|ad}} 454 at Porth Clais in Dyfed.[5] (Note, however, that this dating seems unlikely.[6]) HistoryA 5000-year-old cromlech—including two early British tombs—lies nearby,[7] although they were damaged by a tenant farmer in the 19th century who removed two of the stones. GENUKI notes church and chapel records dating from the 19th century, with two farms.[7] There is still a St Elvis farm[8] (Vagwr Eilw[9]) and the ruins of the earlier monastery and church, covered with blackthorn.[9] St Elvis's Well is also nearby and continued to produce 360 gallons an hour amid the 1976 drought.[9]Religious sitesThere is a shrine to St Elvis, located at {{coord|51|52|12.7|N|5|10|43.2|W}}.
