St Mary, Roch Parish church, lies in the Parish of Nolton w Roch - In the benefice of: Nolton with Roch and St Lawrence with Ford and Hayscastle - In the deanery of: Roose - In the archdeaconry of: St Davids - In the Church in Wales, diocese of: St Davids.

The church, dedicated to St. Mary, is a small plain neat building without, the usual tower, consisting only of a nave and chancel.

I spoke to the Vicar in this Church, who was very proud of his church, and took great pleasure in showing me the medieval font and rare stained glass window, featuring a Boy Scout with Christ.

He told me that Scouts from around the World visit the church just to see this window. I am not sure how they know about the window as I cant find any info on the internet.
