After the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, King William 1st conquered south Wales. He installed his Barons as the rulers who built the castles and the churches in the 1100's.
This is a typical Norman designed church with watch tower; could be used in defense if the native Welsh went on the rampage. This Church was built in 1100's and rebuilt in the early 1800's. This one is at Stackpole on the southern coast of Pembrokeshire.
The original unrestored Norman cross in the churchyard.
The interiors are not elaborate but they all have beautiful stained glass windows.
To-day many are still in use for Sunday worship.
