Spittal is a village in the centre of Pembrokeshire, 5 mile N of Haverfordwest. It consists of a 3 bay chancel with a S vestry, a 4-bay nave with a S porch and bellcotes over the W and E gables of the nave. There are traces of a former N transept and possibly a S chapel. Construction is of limestone rubble with slate roofs. There is a scallop capital type Romanesque font, but no other Romanesque sculpture.

The church was said (Anon. 1883) to have been granted to the Knights Hospitaller of Slebech in the 12thc., but there is no confirmation of this in primary sources. In 1224 the office of precentor of St David's Cathedral was established by Bishop Gervase, endowed with the prebends of Spittal and Llandrudion. The Precentor became the rector of Spittal, and he appointed a curate (Green (1914), 204). The church was restored in 1861 by an unknown architect, and again in 1897-98 by Pinder & Fogarty.

The churchyard has been circular, and raised. There is a Latin-inscribed stone in the porch brought in from the churchyard.
