During the middle ages there was a notable pilgrimage in honour of Our Lady in Cardigan. A beautiful legend describes how a statue of Mary was found by the side of the river Teifi, "and her sonne upon her lappe, and the taper bernynge in her hande".

It was taken to the parish church but would not remain there, returning three or four times to "the place where now is buyIded the church of our Lady", the present St. Mary's church. A chantry priest sang Mass daily in honour of Our Lady for pilgrims who came to pray and leave gifts.

They lodged with the Knights Hospitallers of St. John, where the Angel Hotel now stands.
