Manordeifi Old Church is a redundant church in Manordeifi, Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is designated by Cadw as a Grade II * listed building, and is under the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches. The church stands near the River Teifi and worshippers were sometimes trapped when the river flooded.〔 They were then ferried home in a coracle that was kept in the church porch for this purpose. The river no longer floods, and the church is no longer used for regular worship, but the tradition of keeping a coracle in the porch continues.〔 When it was stolen, local people raised money for it to be replaced. ==History== The site is thought to have been occupied by a church since the 6th or 7th century, dedicated to Llawddog, a Celtic saint. From the evidence of an inscription on the bell, it is believed that it was later dedicated to Saint Lawrence. When the parish was created in the 12th century, the dedication was changed to Saint David. The nave and chancel of the present church date from the 13th or 14th century, and the porch was added at a "slightly later" date.〔 It was probably altered in the 18th century, and repaired between 1835 and 1844. It was abandoned as a parish church in 1899. The church was repaired in 1905 and again between 1948 and 1973.〔 It was vested with the charity the Friends of Friendless Churches in 2000, who hold a 999-year lease with effect from 10 August 2000.
