Church SM 857267


In the 1920s this church was a ruin but the parish and the Church Incorporated Building Society got together to reconstruct the remaining masonry in a manner faithful to the original and to the spirit of the pre-conquest foundation. The original squinch at the south side of the church had already been converted to a family chapel but the narrow spiral staircase to the platform above the road screen remains intact as an example of what used to exist in so many Pembrokeshire churches. The rood screen was constructed at the same time as the restoration and is a fine example of twentieth century church carving in keeping with the rest of the building. At the bottom of the slope on the south side of the church a spring bubbles up into a stone well housing with steps down to the water which trickles away down the valley.
