Description

Several houses are built around a small village green.

In 2001 the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority drew up a conservation statement with the help of villagers.[1]

History

It is believed the village originated in the 14th or 15th centuries.[2] Early medieval burials have been recorded. An early 19th century farm building opposite the chapel is a Grade II-listed building[3] and there are nine other listed buildings in the vicinity.[4]

Chapel

A Calvinist Methodist Chapel was built in 1763 and replaced by the current building in 1827. It is Grade II* listed.[5][6]
