Grid Reference 566887

A church which stood close to Pennard castle and whose remains can still be seen was besanded and finally abandoned at a later date, in the early sixteenth century. However, the existing church has its origins in the thirteenth century so which church predates the other remains a mystery.

An ancient water stoup serves as a font, with a carved Jacobean cover. Laudian dog-rails protect the sanctuary and an external window has early 13th century dog-tooth mouldings.

A beautiful stained glass window, the work of local artists, was installed to mark the new Millennium. A tablet in the church is dedicated to Vernon Watkins and another twentieth century poet, Harri Webb, is buried in the churchyard.

The Church is open daily until dusk, all year.
