Church of St Tyfie and St Faith

Nave and chancel under one uninterrupted roof, with porch and small transept at S and a larger transept at N. Local masonry in irregular courses. Roofs of large slates with crested tile ridges and stone gable-parapets. Cross finial at E. All rainwater heads carry the date 1870. Signs of a blocked doorway are visible at low level in the N wall of the nave.

There is a tall tower of three storeys at W, slightly battered, with crenellated parapet on corbels. At its NE corner is a stairs turret, projecting on the N side only. The tower masonry is randomly coursed with large stones at the quoins. Double belfry lights to E and W, single belfry lights to N and S.

The chancel is 5.5 m long by 6.5 m wide, with two lancets (re-set in the C19 masonry). The nave is 11 m by the same width, with transepts overlapping the chancel: the N transept opens to the nave by an unusual arch which is an incomplete segment, and also connects with the chancel by a small squint. The S transept or chapel is now the vestry. The tower, at the W end, is vaulted.

Memorials include a Gothick one to Charles Mathias (d.1831).

An exceptional Norman font of cushion type, three lobes and a band of six-pointed stars carved on each face. It has a short round column with a cable-moulding at top and bottom. Square base on modern octagonal step. There are traces of whitewash.

The churchyard wall is built up to the corners of adjacent buildings (school and bakery). Rubble stonework with a coping of spaced upright stones in mortar. At the NW corner there is a modern lychgate in memory of Anthony Mathias: two stone piers with a simple moulding and an oak roof, on which are slates taken from Lamphey Court.
