St James' Church, Pembrokeshire

St James' Church is a mediæval church at Manorbier, Pembrokeshire. The earliest surviving part of the building is the nave, dating from the 12th century. Giraldus Cambrensis, of the de Barri family of Manorbier Castle, recounts how he took refuge there in 1153. The original building was greatly enlarged during the next hundred years with a rebuilt chancel and transepts and a new tower, aisles and porch. Mediæval ceiling paintings survive in the porch. The church is within the council area of Pembrokeshire.
