The ParishThe parish of St Twynnells lies in the extreme south of Pembrokeshire, indeed it forms a small part of Pembrokeshire's Irish Sea coast. There is not much to modern day St Twynnells, just a cluster of properties grouped close to its church, a hamlet rather than a village. St Twynnells is located about 4 miles southwest of the port of Pembroke and sits a half mile north of the B4319 road which connects Pembroke with Castlemartin. At the time of this transcript St Twynnells would have had a rather mixed economy, whilst pastoral farming predominated there was also some employment in limestone quarrying. Today St Twynnells is dominated by the military as it sits on the northern edges of the Castlemartin Artillery Range. St Twynnells is drained westwards by a small stream heading for the sea at nearby Castlemartin. St Twynnells sits on a ridge of limestone, the bedding dipping steeply and almost vertically into the ground, at around 70 metres above the sea; the village stands upon the local high point with commanding views in every direction. St Twynnells parish was fairly typically sized for the area, covering around 1,400 acres it would have supported a population of around 250 parishioners. |
