What is recorded here

St Michael's Church in Castlemartin, Pembrokeshire, has stood outside the village since the 13th century, guarding a site where two holy wells suggest people worshipped long before stone walls rose. Its walls once hid a 7th to 9th century cross, now lost, while Augustus Pugin's Crucifixion window still burns with colour beneath a later tower. The church is redundant today, yet its Grade I stones and derelict vicarage keep the village's memory alive through the Friends of Friendless Churches.
