The church is at Cheriton ("Churchtown"), also known as Stackpole Elidor, some distance from the village. A beautiful setting tucked into the side of the valley.

SCE_9562 Bosherston Lily Ponds, Bosherston, Nr Pembroke, Pembrokeshire, SA71 5DN
Visited on 13 June 2014 - beautiful summers day, loads of sunshine.
Walk around one or both of the very large lily ponds.
This one is the west most pond (closest to the car park) then have a tea/coffee etc. in the 'tea shop' on the main road or something stronger in the pub just along from it.
Very nice day but took too many photos (this is just a small selection) so the walk took 2,1/2 hours in stead of 1 hour.
Beautiful small beach half way around this pond - really nice to visit.

The history of Stackpole Court goes back to the Norman period when South Wales was invaded by the Normans. The first owners of the estate we know of were the de Stackpole family. They were followed by the Vernons and the Stanleys. The Stanleys hired the Lort family to administer the estate, and in the 17th century the Lort family purchased the estate in their own right.
The Lorts were Royalists in the Civil War and as a result of their support for King Charles Parliament besieged Stackpole, forcing them to surrender after a short siege. After the siege, Robert Lort hid in caves at Barafundle until it was safe to emerge. He was rewarded for his loyalty to the Crown when Charles II made him a knight after the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660.
The family fortunes looked up when Elizabeth Lort, the family heiress, married Alexander Campbell of Cawdor in 1689. In 1735 the Campbells built a Palladian mansion on the foundations of an earlier fortified manor house. They called their fashionable new home Stackpole Court.
Stackpole Quay was used to ship out limestone from the nearby quarry and bring in coal and other goods for Stackpole Court.

The sun reflecting on the Lily pads & Algae of Bosherton Lakes. Once part of the large Stackpole Estate
I spent a week staying at Stackpole Quay (on the coast south of Pembroke) in a National Trust holiday cottage, Byre 2 - part of a group converted from a farmstead.
This is the view down the lane towards the cottages.

Great walk along the Pembrokeshire coastal path.
Amazing views, beaches, climbers, Guillemots and Choughs
There was a giant sand drawing of a cock on the beach. (quite difficult to see on this photo). I blame the people in the tent. Failing that I am trying to establish where Paul Sissons was that weekend.
