Diocese of St Davids
Church built in 1803 for Charles Francis Greville's new town at a cost of £2998. It was consecrated by Bishop Thomas Burgess of St Davids 14 October 1808. The architect was the French shipwright Jean-Louis Barrallier and/or his son Charles, who were exiles from the regime of Napoleon I. Re-fenestrated 1866-7 by F. Wehnert. The nave was extended and a new chancel was added in 1906-7 by Wood & Gaskell of Milford.
The dedication to St Katherine was a compliment to William Price, barrister, and nephew of Bishop Shute Barrington of Durham (where Bishop Burgess of St Davids was a prebendary) who had given £400 towards the building costs. Price was Master of St Katharine's Hospital near the Tower of London.

Editor's response: thanks for these dates. I will update the records on the individual windows. It would be good to know who made them!
