Description

St David's Church, Laleston, has a nave and chancel, probably dating to the thirteenth to fourteenth centuries. The tower, which has a wide staircase, and the south porch date to the late medieval period. It was restored in 1871.

The limewashed interior has exposed dressings and the nave has a waggon roof with reeded principals. Above the segmental pointed chancel arch there are benefaction boards of 1769. The interior also features many seventeenth and eighteenth century wall monuments to local families.
