view of church interior - looking east
Scene Description: Source caption: "St Mary's church nave. The interior of the church is very early and very fine, thought to be inspired by Wells Cathedral. The nave and chancel arcade are C13 originally, with C16 clerestory. The East window, by Kempe, 1893, depicts six scenes from the life of Christ. A variety of impressive monuments can be seen here too."

Described in Lloyd et al. (2004): "Splendidly elaborate free-standing stoup, presumably Perp[endicular]. Pedestal with colonnettes, the square bowl with cusping on each side". The listing for this church [https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/300012226-church-of-saint-mary-haverfordwest] [accessed 20 February 2022] reports: "Anglican parish church, early C13 and C15, with the finest C13 carved detail in the region, related to carved work at Wells Cathedral. The nave may have been built in the late C12, rebuilt after the Llywelyn the Great uprising, in the 1240s [...] Octagonal C19 font on base of four marble-shafted columns around centre shaft.; oak font cover 1925. Free-standing stoup, c1500, with square bowl on square shafted base with pierced cusped lancets, ribs and pendants."
