St Daniel's Church, Pembroke
St Daniel's Church is a Grade I-listed church in Pembroke, Wales, situated on a hill approximately 1.1 kilometres (0.68 mi) south of Pembroke Castle.[1] One of the oldest churches in the area,[2] it is located on an ancient, pre-Norman site, which was associated with Saint Deiniol in the 6th century. There may have been a hermitage pre-dating the church which was attended by Saint David.[1] The site gained a reputation for miraculous healing, and became a shrine for pilgrims who would drink from the well.[2] The current structure dates to the 14th or 15th century. It underwent repair in 1780, and later in 1849 and 1893. It became a Grade I-listed building on 10 February 1951. Today the church, a small structure built of rubble stone with a slate roof, is disused. It has a nave, chancel, and spire, with a tower on the western side.[1]
