St Mary's Church
St Mary’s Church is first recorded about 1210, but there was probably a church on the site before that.
The splendid spire, 152ft high, is one of the local landmarks. Most of the windows date from Victorian restoration work. A ring of five bells was recorded in 1659 and four of the present eight date back to 1789. A 15th century bell, which once hung outside the spire to sound the curfew, is now in St Thomas' Chapel. The clock commemorates Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee but the first clock to be recorded was in 1650.
The ruined wall with two arches to the west of the church is assumed to be all that remains of a college building. Amongst many commemorated in the Church is Robert Recorde born c. 1510 in Tenby, an eminent mathematician and scholar, and inventor of the equals sign.
