Human settlement in Wales
Walwyn's Castle (Welsh : Castell Gwalchmai ) is a village, parish and community in the county of Pembrokeshire , Wales , and is 84 miles (135 km ) from Cardiff and 213 miles (343 km ) from London .[1] [2] [3]
[ edit ]
The community of Walwyn's Castle consists of the parishes of Walwyn's Castle itself and the parishes of Hasguard and Robeston West.[4]
In 2011 the population of the community of Walwyn's Castle was 355 with 15.2 per cent able to speak Welsh .[5]
History
[ edit ]
In his 12th century Gesta Regum Anglorum , William of Malmesbury claimed that the grave of Gawain (Latin : Walwen , Welsh : Gwalchmai ) was found here around the end of the 11th century and that the castle mound covers the site.[6] [7]
A castle was built within an Iron Age Hill fort by the Normans. There is an historic rath overlooking Walwyn's Castle. A geophysical survey was carried out in 2011.[4]
Walwyn's Castle was in the ancient hundred of Roose with its origins in the pre-Norman cantref of Rhôs. This and several other parishes fell within the mediaeval Barony of Walwyn's Castle, the caput of the Marcher Lord .[8]
Parish
[ edit ]
The parish of Walwyn's Castle includes several scattered settlements.[7] [9]
Parish church
[ edit ]
The earliest-known reference to Walwyn's Castle Church was 1291. The church was rebuilt around 1869 to 1878. Today the Church is in good repair with services held there every Sunday.[4]
The nearby Baptist Chapel, Aenon, Sandy Hill, built 1877, has a cemetery. Gravestones reveal names linking to families from Walwyn and the local communities. The Chapel was internally renovated in 2020 and meets for worship on Sundays, and various midweek activities.
School
[ edit ]
The village school closed in the late 1950s, converted to a village hall, and substantially renovated in 2004.[4]
