An interesting article on the Phillips family who founded the Haverfordwest Bank. https://haverfordwest-town-museum.org.uk/147-2/
Why post it here on the Llanteg page? Well, a descendants of the family became the well known vicar of Crunwere, W.D.Phillips (1805-1886 & buried at Crunwere Church), who was instrumental in preventing the death penalty for the young girl Mary Prout.
W.D.Phillips was the grandson of the Samuel Levi Phillips mentioned in the article, who hailed from Germany and who founded the Haverfordwest Bank.
A fuller family history is to be found in our book Llanteg Looking Back.
