Restoration: Church of St Dogwells, Pembrokeshire

ST. DOGWELLS, Pembrokeshire - This church, which has been under a process of gradual repair and restoration for several years past, was reopened on the 4th inst. One of the principal and most recent improvements has been the lowering of the floors some 18 inches, preparatory to fitting up the interior with open pitch‑pine seats, thus restoring the original height of the arcade, exposing the bases of the columns to view, and presenting the interior in its ancient proportions. The contractor for the more recent works was Mr. W. Balcombe, of Kenilworth, working under the superintendence of the architect, Mr. E. H. Lingen Barker, of London, Hereford, and Tenby.
