Upton Chapel, close by Upton Castle, near Cosheston, Pembrokeshire, Wales, is dedicated to Saint Giles and is a Grade I listed building. Dating from the 12th or 13th century, it consists of a small nave and chancel. Amongst the memorials in the chapel are the effigies of William Malefant (died in 1362) wearing chain mail and another of a female member of the Malefant family. There are several memorials to local families. There is a small piscina and a Jacobean pulpit. The masonry walls are from local rubble stone. The roofs are slated with tile ridges and there is a bellcote at the west end. The interior was restored in 1978 by the owner of the castle.{{cite web |url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/wa-6032-upton-chapel-cosheston#.Vh_pqdKrSUk |title=Upton Chapel, Cosheston |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |website=www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk |publisher=British Listed Buildings |access-date=15 October 2015 |quote=}}{{National Historic Assets of Wales|num=6032 |desc=Upton Chapel |grade=I |access-date=30 July 2019 }}{{Coflein|num=300442 |desc=Upton Chapel |access-date=29 September 2021}}
