Description
The Church of St Peter & St Cewydd is a largely Perpendicular-style building, with elements dating back to the 15th century, and significant alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. The church is set within a wider historic context, retaining some original features.
The west tower is tall and narrow, characteristic of Pembrokeshire architecture, and is battered with a corbelled and embattled parapet. A northeast stair projection is visible. The west window is a low, flat-headed two-light design, with a lancet window above. There are two-light pointed bell-openings with quatrefoils, believed to be original.
The nave has coped gables, and an east gabled bellcote, which replaced an earlier version. Lean-to aisles flank the nave, featuring 19th-century two-light pointed windows with quatrefoils. The north aisle has a large gabled porch and three 19th-century three-light, flat-headed windows. The south aisle has three similar windows. The chancel has a three-light 19th-century east window, a small 15th-century two-light north window, and two flat-headed 15th-century two-light south windows.
Internally, the church features three-bay plastered arcades and a low chancel arch. A substantial, six-bay roof was raised in 1883. Aisle windows have rear arches. A heavy 19th-century stone and marble pulpit is present, along with the original square medieval font on a round shaft. The tower is covered by a plastered stone vault. A squint connects the north aisle to the chancel.
The church contains a distinctive 1914 eagle lectern, with a metal stem featuring a vine-trail baluster design. Stained glass windows are found in the chancel, dating from 1878, 1895, and 1927. A grey and white marble monument to Reverend J Jordan (died 1808), sculpted by W Williams of St Florence, is also present. An inscribed cross stone with an Ogham inscription is located in the north aisle.
The aisles were rebuilt in 1799 by G Watkins of Haverfordwest, and the pointed arches may date from that time.
