  Steynton was once a medieval parish and village, with a parish church dedicated to Saints Cewydd and Peter. The oldest parts of the present church may be 14th or 15th century. The church may have had links with Pill Priory, which is about 2 miles (3 km) to the south. The church tower was used as a musketry position in the English Civil War action at Pill Fort in Milford Haven. The church is directly in line with St Katherine's church to the south and Johnston church to the north. The parish was about 6 miles (10 km) long from north to south, and up to 2 miles (3 km) wide from east to west. The ancient parish extended almost as far as Haverfordwest to the north.
  Steynton was originally separate from Milford Haven, being about 2 miles (3 km) north-north-east of Milford, but Milford Haven has expanded and absorbed it. Steynton is part of the local government community of Miford Haven.
