DescriptionSt Catherine's church is located on the north side of the B4314, about two miles south-east of Narberth. It is constructed of squared red sandstone with red brick around its lancet windows. The nave and bellcote were built to designs of F.R.Kempson in 1888. The narrower chancel was added in 1909 by E.V.Collier. There is also a gabled porch on the south-west. Furnishings are all modern.
The church was initially portrayed on maps, until at least the mid-twentieth century, as a 'Mission Room'.
