There was a church recorded here in the C14 but this is a Victorian reconstruction. A mediaeval font remains inside. It has connections with the Gambold family: William Gambold (1672-1728) who was rector here published a Grammar of the Welsh Language and also worked on a Welsh/English dictionary. Of his 5 sons born in Puncheston the eldest John (1711-1771) became an early Moravian bishop, and several others were notable too. See http://yba.llgc.org.uk/en/s-GAMB-OLD-1650.html
