* There is here an ancient mansion called Abperergwrn 

 House. Oliver Cromwell, who was in some degree related to the 

 ancestor of the present proprietor, is said to have halted at this 

 place on his way to Milford Haven, and to have despatched 

 messengers to acquaint the family of his arrival. Receiving no 

 encouragement, he fired a few shots over the mansion, by way 

 of intimidation, and departed, without offering any further 

 violence. This traditional account derives corroboration from 

 the discovery of some cannon balls on turning up the ground 

 near the house in 1831.
