Maestir is a hamlet near Lampeter, in the community of Llanwnnen, Ceredigion, Wales.
There is a church there, dedicated to St Mary. It was historically in the parish of Lampeter[1] and now forms its own Church in Wales parish.[2]
Maestir School was built in 1880 by Charles Harford for the children of the farmworkers at Falcondale estate. It served less than 40 children aged between 5 and 14 until it closed in 1916 due to a lack of children attending. In 1984 it was brought to St Fagans National Museum of History where it still remains today. The building is made of shale from local quarries, and the roof is made of slate mined in North Wales.[3]
