St James's Church, Manorbier

St James's Church features a slender tower with a bellcote and contains a chancel constructed on foundations from the early medieval period.

The church was established in January 1101, with significant modifications including the addition of transepts and chancel construction around 1250.

The medieval ceiling paintings in the church porch represent an enduring example of early ecclesiastical art in Pembrokeshire.

The church opens daily between 9:30 AM and 6 PM from mid-March to mid-October, with key holders available outside these hours.

Three military graves from 1918 to 1920 in the churchyard are maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
