Garness Mill is a former corn mill. It seems to have been known as Gardener's Mill in 1723. It is shown as Garnas Mill on the 1831 Ordnance Survey map and appears on later 19th century maps as a working corn mill. It would appear to have gone out of use as a working mill by, or during the early 20th century and is now a private dwelling.

Records show that there was a water mill producing woollen cloth at Ledgerland during the 18th century. Its exact location is not proven, but a ruined cottage at this site is a possible location. It is shown as an occupied dwelling on the 1831 Ordnance Survey map, but had been abandoned by the 1880s. The last person to operate the mill was one James Price, who is said to have built Ledgerland, which stands on higher ground to the north, when he left the woollen mill.

William Rees, on his 1932 map of Wales and the Borders in the 14th Century shows a water mill close to this site. 19th century maps show that Amroth Mill was a corn mill, which worked up until the late 19th century, but it is was disused by the time of the 1905 Ordnance Survey map.
In the HER, PRN3659 refers to the medieval castle of Earewere.

Although there are records of a fulling mill in this area, which was out of use by 1481, its location is not known. During the 19th century, there was a woollen mill at Factory, the original mill possibly being alongside the leat serving Amroth Mill (which lies down the valley to the southwest) and now surviving only as ruins in the woods. Factory is the name of the house alongside the present trackway upslope from the woollen factory , which was out of use by the 1870s.
A footpath passes between Factory House and the old woollen factory.

Blackheath Enclosure

Blackheath sits on the site of an Iron Age enclosure
the Iron Age was from about 500 BC to when the Roamn's arrived. 
View on Google maps.


Is an Iron Age Roundhouse what would have sat inside the enclosure?  Or would it have been more defensive?

Below is some information off the web.

SITE NAME LLANTEG ENCLOSURE
SITE TYPE DEFENDED ENCLOSURE FORM Documents

PERIOD Iron Age CONDITION E



DESCRIPTION
Llanteg Enclosure has been virtually destroyed. It was formerly defined by a hedge-bank with a low shallow ditch to the northeast and southwest sides. A turnpike road was driven through the enclosure in the early 19th century and a small farmhouse with outbuildings had been built in the centre of the enclosure by at least the end of the 19th century. The house has been extended and gardens and a yard created to the west and north of it. Road widening and straightening in 1984 effectively removed what remained on the enclosure on to the south. This work exposed the clay-loam bank, which had a possible burnt layer towards its base. All that remains of the enclosure is a hedge-bank defining its northeast side - presumably on the defensive bank - and possible a small portion of the interior just within this bank.
The site lies on level ground at c. 145m above sea level.

This Iron Age enclosure has been almost completely destroyed as a result of 19th and 20th century road-building. During the 1830s, the turnpike road was built through the centre of the enclosure. Subsequently, Blackheath farmhouse and outbuildings were built on the site. In 1984, road improvements saw further damage inflicted, which means that now hardly any vestiges of the monument remain. It is one of a series of similar Iron Age enclosures which dot the south Pembrokeshire landscape.

Award from PLANED

This is old news (possibly 2000/1 - will have to check) but I have recently come across this photograph. 

We went to Saundersfoot to collect £250 prize for a write-up we did of what our group had been doing for its first year or so.

John Howell, Trenewydd - died 1727

Embedded in the outside wall of Crunwere Church's south transept is a gravestone which reads:


Near this wall lies the body of John Howell A.M.
The son of Reynold Howell of Trenewyed, Gent.
He was sometime Rector of New Radnor but in the year of Trial 1691 was deprived
of all that he could not keep with a good conscience.
Who died Jan. 17th 1727, aged 70.
(A stone tablet in memory of a non-juring clergyman)


Searching online I have found the following:

Howell, Johns. Regin., of Trenewydd, co. Pembroke, pleb. Trinity Coll., matric. 20 March, 1673-4, aged 16; B.A. 29 Jan., 1677-8, M.A. 1680; brother of Arthur 1676. See Fasti, ii. 373.

Non-Jurors
The name given to the Anglican Churchmen who in 1689 refused to take the oath of allegiance to William and Mary, and their successors under the Protestant Succession Act of that year. Their leaders on the episcopal bench (William Sancroft, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Bishops Francis Turner of Ely, William Lloyd of Norwich, Thomas White of Peterborough, William Thomas of Worcester, Thomas Ken of Bath and Wells, John Lake of Chichester, and Thomas Cartwright of Chester) were required to take the oath before 1 August, under pain of suspension, to be followed, if it were not taken by 1 February, by total deprivation. Two of them died before this last date, but the rest, persisting in their refusal, were deprived. Their example was followed by a multitude of the clergy and laity, the number of the former being estimated at about four hundred, conspicuous among whom were George Hickes, Dean of Worcester, Jeremy Collier, John Kettlewell, and Robert Nelson. A list of these Non-jurors is given in Hickes's "Memoirs of Bishop Kettlewell", and one further completed in Overton's "Non-jurors".
