Details

Accessibility:

There is a layby on the opposite side of the lane to the churchyard entrance. The churchyard gate is up a set of three steps with a concrete ramp built into the side of it and the path to the church is level and quite well maintained. The two doors into the church both have a single small step to negotiate.

Brief Description:

This Grade II* listed medieval church stands above an unnamed rural highway off the B4328 two miles south of Whitland.  It has a disproportionately large, square tower which dates from the 15th century with many other features from the 18th and 19th centuries, including floors, pews and some remodelling.

The interior is largely whitewashed and features several chamfered arches in the tower, nave and chancel. There is a stained glass window dedicated to Captain Howells, the owner of the local White Lion pub in Brandy Hill. He died from his wounds in 1915 on a hospital ship off Gallipoli.
