Lamphey – St Tyver

Very little is known of the early history of this church.  It was apparently appendant to the manor of Lamphey, which was owned by the bishop of St Davids, as in the grant of the manor of Lamphey made by Bishop William Barlow to King Henry VIII, the patronage of the church of Lamphey is expressly reserved to the bishop and his successors.--Fenton's Pem., App., No 15, p. 49.

The only lease of this parsonage mentioned among the cathedral records was on 20 June 1638, when with its glebe together with the parsonage of Warren, it was demised for 21 years by the bishop to Thomas Mayland, gent., at the annual rent of £26 13s 4d.

Except where otherwise stated in the notes, all the presentations to this benefice were made by the bishop of St Davids.
