Hodgeston Parish Church

Hodgeston Parish Church is a redundant church in the village of Hodgeston, some 2km southeast of Lamphey, Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is designated by Cadw as a Grade II* listed building, and is under the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches. HistoryThe nave is thought to date from the 13th century, while the chancel was added during the following century. The tower was built at a later date. At the beginning of the 19th century, the church was described as being "in extreme disrepair". In 1851 the Cambrian Archaeological Association decided that it should be restored, the architect David Brandon was appointed to do the work. The present windows were added as part of this restoration, but many of the internal features were preserved. This restoration was "intended to be a model for future church restorations". The church has no recorded dedication. The church was vested with the charity the Friends of Friendless Churches in 2000, who hold a 999-year lease with effect from 17 December 2000. The charity has introduced into the church a set of stalls originally designed by W. D. Caroe for St David's Church, Exeter.
