St Mary's Church Haverfordwest, Churches and Chapels Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire - Wales where to go, what to see and where to stay in Wales

The history of this magnificent Church is closely linked with the history of the town of Haverfordwest and the county of Pembroke. It is a fine example of the Decorated style of architecture but its foundations are much older and the remains of a Norman church are incorporated in the massively thick south wall. The north aisle was added during the c13. The arches between the nave and the north aisle are fine examples of Early English stonework. The inscriptions on the many marble tablets make interesting reading for visitors with time to inspect them. The fine oak panelled roof dates from the c16 and the Tudor rose is frequently seen in the carving. The church has the oldest church registers in Pembrokeshire dating from 1590.
