History and description
The church is dedicated to St
The church is small and simple. Lloyd, Orbach and Scourfield, in their Pembrokeshire volume of the Buildings of Wales Pevsner, describe it as "an object lesson in High Victorian geometry and minimal extraneous detail".[6] It is built of sandstone, with Bath stone dressings and a slate roof.[5] Constructed on the site of an earlier church,[1] the north doorway may a genuine Norman piece, or a later medieval one, from the original structure.[6][5] The church is a Grade II listed building[5] and, having been declared redundant, is now in the care of the charity, the Friends of Friendless Churches.[1]
