Summary Description

The large medieval Church of St Martin of Tours sits within its elevated churchyard in Haverfordwest, the County town of Pembrokeshire, and is believed to be of Norman foundation - built circa 1120 in association with the nearby Castle. It was first recorded in 1256 and today consists of a nave, chancel, south aisle, chapel and porch, north-west tower with spire, lean-to vestry (north of chancel) and coalhouse. It was heavily restored in 1864-6, although the medieval layout and much of the detail has survived. It is is constructed from limestone rubble with some Old Red Sandstone, internal plastered/rendered walls and slate roofs. Reference: Dyfed Archaeological Trust Historic Churches Survey
