Manordeifi Old Church
Church in Pembrokeshire, Wales / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manordeifi Old Church is a redundant church in Manordeifi, Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is designated by Cadw as a Grade II* listed building,[1] and is under the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches.[2] The church stands near the River Teifi and worshippers were sometimes trapped when the river flooded.[3] They were then ferried home in a coracle that was kept in the church porch for this purpose. The church is no longer used for regular worship, but the tradition of keeping a coracle in the porch continues.[4] When it was stolen, local people raised money for it to be replaced.[4]
