Saturday was a busy morning as we met again for our monthly Coffee Morning and Talk. The talk was given by Society Chairman Linda Asman who gave a new presentation on the subject of Gerald of Wales' Journey Around Wales in 1188, a route she and husband Stuart had followed last year, photographing the medieval sites which Gerald described so famously in his journal. Last year marked the 800th anniversary of Gerald's death and we needed to commemorate that as he was a Pembrokeshire man, born in Manorbier. He is celebrated in wonderful stained glass windows in the churches of both Manorbier and St Mary's as well as a statue in St David's Cathedral.

Our Coffee Morning and Talk this month will be held on Saturday morning, March 2nd in Pembroke Town Hall from 10am.
This month’s talk, by Society Chairman Linda Asman, will have a Welsh theme and is titled ‘In the Footsteps of Gerald of Wales’. Gerald de Barri, also known as Geraldus Cambrensis or Gerald the Welshman, died some 800 years ago. He was born and raised in Manorbier, a grandson of Princess Nest and Gerald de Windsor and, through them, a descendant of both the Welsh Princes and Marcher Lords. A remarkable man of his day, Gerald was a churchman, scholar, reformer, royal diplomat and a tireless traveller but it is his writings that distinguished him above all. In 1188, he accompanied Archbishop Bishop Baldwin of Canterbury on a mission to recruit men for the 3rd Crusade, a mission which took him all around Wales and which Gerald recorded for posterity in his books ‘Journey around Wales and Description of Wales, books which shine a light into that far off world of 12th Century Wales
Linda and Stuart Asman decided to follow this earliest of Welsh travel guides, visiting and photographing the sites which Gerald described in his journal along with accounts of local miracles, fantastic tales and descriptions of Welsh life which make it so entertaining. The talk is richly illustrated with photographs, which can be viewed to advantage on Pembroke Town Hall’s new, large television screen.
Doors will open from 10am for coffee and an opportunity to visit the Museum and Council Chamber, which are situated on the first floor of the Town Hall – a lift is available for disabled access. Following this, at 11am, we assemble in the George Lewis Room for the talk. Everyone is welcome to attend – you do not have to be a member - and entry is free.

Saturday's meeting was another great success. The morning began with a Coffee Morning get together and Museum visit followed by a fascinating talk by this month's guest speaker, Phil Carradice. Phil is an author of many books and an experienced and entertaining speaker - very popular as can be witnessed by the large audience of over 100 that he attracted! His talk was titled 'Witchcraft and Witch hunts', the subject of his latest book. Phil had been hoping to introduce the book but, unfortunately, it is still at the publishers and will not be ready for distribution until later this month.

Pembroke & Monkton Local History Society will be continuing its programme of Talks with accompanying Coffee Mornings on Saturday morning February 3rd in Pembroke Town Hall, commencing 10am.
This month’s meeting will feature a talk by popular speaker and author, Phil Carradice. Phil will be introducing his forthcoming book ‘A History of Witches and Witch Hunts’ which looks at witchcraft from early times (mainly Egyptian and Roman) to the present day.
“Witchcraft was a pre-cursor to religion and was at various times a threat and a support. The book highlights the Medieval period when over 100,000 women across Europe - and they were mostly women - were accused of witchcraft. Around 70,000 were executed without real evidence. Scotland killed off 5000, England 3000 but Wales - just five, due mainly to the concept of 'the wise women '; village herb gatherers who provided the only medical aid available.
The book also looks at famous witch trials, such as the Salem Witches, and witch hunts - from Matthew Hopkins (the famous Witchfinder General) to Senator Joe McCarthy and other modern hunts (political rather than social/religious etc)”.
(The book is published by Pen & Sword, hardback and kindle - due out 28th February).
Doors will open from 10am for coffee and an opportunity to visit the Museum and Council Chamber, which are situated on the first floor of the Town Hall – a lift is available for disabled access. Following this, at 11am, we assemble in the George Lewis Room for the talk. Everyone is welcome to attend – you do not have to be a member - and entry is free.

So many people joined us for our New Year's get together on Saturday - I don't think we've ever had such numbers, exceeding a hundred! We began with a coffee morning and a look around the museum (which, through the winter months is closed, reopening February Half-term). Then all assembled in the George Lewis room for the talk by Dr Robert Davies MBE. Robert took us on a photographic tour around our beautiful county of Pembrokeshire exploring its natural and historic sites. I have to say I am full of admiration for his beautiful photography, which was shown off to advantage via the Town Hall's new television screen monitor, a big improvement on our previous screen and projector!

We begin the New Year with a Coffee Morning and Talk by Dr Robert Davies MBE. The title of his talk is 'Fifty Shades of Pembrokeshire', which he describes as follows:
“As a keen photographer, artist and local historian, whenever I travel around Pembrokeshire my camera and digital sketchbook are with me, as a result I have accumulated thousands of digital photographs encapsulating Pembrokeshire’s hidden places. Many of the photographs that I use to illustrate my talk will hopefully remind the audience of just how magnificent Pembrokeshire truly is. Throughout the talk we wind our way along the footpaths, tracks and its narrow lanes to visit the well known parts of the County and more importantly the less well known areas. Quotes from artists and photographers are often used to help illustrate a photograph or offer a greater understanding. A little background information of a place will be given together with a brief history. My love of ‘The Milford Haven Waterway’ will also come through together with its exciting and fascinating history. We will look at the Eastern Cleddau pass by Blackpool Mill, Slebech Hall and Picton Castle down the Daugleddau exploring the many creeks and historic sites. We will travel up the Cresswell and Carew Rivers and back to Lawrenny to carry on with our journey passing Burton and under the Cleddau Bridge, pop into the Pembroke River and travel on down the lower Haven towards the open sea, passing Angle, Lindsway Bay, Watwick Bay to St Anne’s Head”.

Our raffle, a luxurious Christmas Hamper, proved very popular on our stall and we arranged for the Draw to take place in Pembroke Town Hall. Pembroke Town Crier, Gareth Jones, drew the winning ticket and extended congratulations to the lucky winner Jeremy Coombs, who lives in Haverfordwest. Thanks to all who bought raffle tickets, the proceeds of which will help support the work of our Society, including Pembroke Museum.

At this morning's meeting of the History Society, Andrew Shobbrook of Dyfed Archaeological Trust gave a fascinating talk about the excavation of the medieval burial site discovered beneath the former Ocky White Store in Haverfordwest. Andrew was the leading archaeologist in this nationally important dig, interest in which was evidenced by the large audience of over 80 people.
A coffee morning and raffle were held prior to the talk - money raised covers the cost of hiring the hall so that we can offer free admission.
Visitors were also able to look around the Museum and Council Chamber - please not that the Museum will be closing now for the winter months and opening again for the February half-term on February 12th.

Our Quiz Night and buffet was a great success! Before Covid we held regular Quiz Night's and they were very popular - but this was the first since covid and we were not sure of the response. We needn't have worried as 8 tables were filled with 45 people participating. The winning team, calling themselves 'the Golden Girls' are pictured here with Quiz Master Rose Blackburn BEM.

On Saturday November 4th there will be a Coffee Morning and Talk in Pembroke Town Hall. This month’s speaker is Andrew Shobbrook of Dyfed Archaeology, who will be giving us a presentation about the archaeological dig below what was the old Ocky White department store building in Haverfordwest, where archaeologists discovered the remains of more than 300 burials, as well as remnants of the Dominican medieval friary of St. Saviour’s, established in 1256.
Dyfed Archaeological Trust worked at the site on behalf of Pembrokeshire County Council, in conjunction with John Weaver Contractors. The archaeological excavations ran for eight months in 2022 following the discovery of artefacts and human remains dating back to the 14th Century AD.
According to DAT, this has been the first major archaeological excavation to have taken place within the boundaries of the medieval town of Haverfordwest and has proven to be a unique opportunity to gather information about the continuous development of the town through the ages, and its vital connection with the Western Cleddau River.

Our Talk yesterday was very well attended - a good start to our Autumn Programme. Gareth Mills, as usual, gave a brilliant talk on Margaret Beaufort, a lady very important in our Pembroke story. A lady who at the tender age 13 gave birth to Henry Tudor in Pembroke Castle. Hard to imagine! Yet a lady who grew up to be a formidable politician who enabled her son to become king and provided a guiding hand in the future destiny of our country. As well, Margaret translated a number of devotional books and was a patron of the English printers William Caxton and Wynkyn de Worde. In 1502 she founded the Lady Margaret professorships of divinity at Oxford and Cambridge, and in 1505 she completed the endowment of Christ’s College. By the provisions of her will, most of her estate was given to endow St. John’s College, which was chartered in 1511. Wow, what a woman!Linda, pembrokehistory@live.co.ukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09075827200028051712noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735875680309243749.post-52709218993132797992023-09-21T21:16:00.001+01:002023-09-29T02:34:35.426+01:00October Events<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvHeD2ZQurirhv5nHwe3SanV59tn9A2QLROkpsFNfVpRbIC_7IpYdbB8KEwrcpKe1LDm3nD90s8etjO8S2bWolRr3E9TqTGESqMQOwdCMEtmGyCEbZ3ej10VHaHpEkPoTxg7RAPX3l5tYFmB06p2nOmaNBO6-o3NlH76FhcqEkLz2EemvSwqDQ61MsDebU/s1754/Talk%20by%20Gareth%20Mills%20October%207th.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="400" data-original-height="1754" data-original-width="1240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvHeD2ZQurirhv5nHwe3SanV59tn9A2QLROkpsFNfVpRbIC_7IpYdbB8KEwrcpKe1LDm3nD90s8etjO8S2bWolRr3E9TqTGESqMQOwdCMEtmGyCEbZ3ej10VHaHpEkPoTxg7RAPX3l5tYFmB06p2nOmaNBO6-o3NlH76FhcqEkLz2EemvSwqDQ61MsDebU/s400/Talk%20by%20Gareth%20Mills%20October%207th.jpg"/></a></div>
Pembroke & Monkton Local History Society begins its new Autumn/Spring programme on Saturday October 7th with a Coffee Morning and Talk in Pembroke Town Hall.
Our speaker this month is popular local historian Gareth Mills who will talk about Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII - the woman who forged the Tudor dynasty. A subject of great interest to us here in Pembroke! Perhaps too we will have some update about the progress of the Henry Tudor Centre.
Doors will open from 10am for coffee and an opportunity to visit the Museum and Council Chamber, which are situated on the first floor of the Town Hall – a lift is available for disabled access. Following this, at 11am, we assemble in the George Lewis Room for the talk. Everyone is welcome to attend – you do not have to be a member - and entry is free.

Down on the Range - Pembroke Museum volunteers went on a PCNP guided minibus tour of the Castlemartin Range yesterday. This was a great opportunity to enjoy the amazing coastal scenery of this restricted area as well as to visit the historic, derelict buildings, buildings, some - like Flimston and Pricaston - dating back to the Middle Ages. So sad to think that these were once thriving farmsteads until the WW2 requisition of this beautiful place for a tank range. It was a most enjoyable tour with Peter Royle, an excellent, interesting guide.

They marched through Pembrke Main Street, saluting the Mayor of Pembroke as they passed the Town Hall before entering the Castle for the ceremony. They finally exited the castle to the sound of bagpipes played wonderfully by Graham Phillips. The sailors of HMS Pembroke were supported by the Sea Cadets of Milford, Tenby and Fishguard and the Royal Marine Cadets and all were invited back to a reception at Pembroke Town Hall.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjMjjRIuVM5iw-8Ayq8nz0PQLDd7H5kB5G6qcyhXhQU9ii9cyalcrIygFyZuNi6_rUIemA9wFNEDdURfqPvkviPfOczQUQe39tdQn3qsQMqZ3lsPuScFjrOKMVgkHm1qdTQJUuI4EuN0b3QXPHJiXBJffiMSnRhGWxpR6z77AK9DYADM_QdHpXRN0FiqCd/s2500/HMS%20PEMBROKE%20%284%29.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="1875" data-original-width="2500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjMjjRIuVM5iw-8Ayq8nz0PQLDd7H5kB5G6qcyhXhQU9ii9cyalcrIygFyZuNi6_rUIemA9wFNEDdURfqPvkviPfOczQUQe39tdQn3qsQMqZ3lsPuScFjrOKMVgkHm1qdTQJUuI4EuN0b3QXPHJiXBJffiMSnRhGWxpR6z77AK9DYADM_QdHpXRN0FiqCd/s400/HMS%20PEMBROKE%20%284%29.jpg"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc_8vDJJ3nrH9hpNDhA6r5fbrJ7lJWBET5Oy0DJ4dN0n-PrFgrMrhBXMnjCNKMh_Yp9jkZiCl3Wm00upsIjQXZjzHTJ42XxMiitrEWpi9_FOubjpRuxoS40ZVYXG3IeUgBiVDUXGRtK5WdN8x4TfY2Ay7tmmoFpctmZFUBW2zVPRfEYNI2icQEK7AySzQJ/s2000/HMS%20PEMBROKE%20%288%29.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="1428" data-original-width="2000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc_8vDJJ3nrH9hpNDhA6r5fbrJ7lJWBET5Oy0DJ4dN0n-PrFgrMrhBXMnjCNKMh_Yp9jkZiCl3Wm00upsIjQXZjzHTJ42XxMiitrEWpi9_FOubjpRuxoS40ZVYXG3IeUgBiVDUXGRtK5WdN8x4TfY2Ay7tmmoFpctmZFUBW2zVPRfEYNI2icQEK7AySzQJ/s400/HMS%20PEMBROKE%20%288%29.JPG"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlgO2tevvLE2UTMTgGdAuaVB9HU6aQCfQXw0Ssy1xMyQsy13Vq2WqPGbo14Eq3sa65Uiqw6aP3tmPa9FIlLXSlC6j5pyLAdlABDAVJJh5rkvk-AZ3sQrh9lMLW3YtWZfEezDM0B5QeqRAr-Ma0qbU97Q83PaIGf482KyXadz-MoEsPcUqrcLLiyhblE-Za/s2500/HMS%20PEMBROKE%20%2811%29.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="1875" data-original-width="2500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlgO2tevvLE2UTMTgGdAuaVB9HU6aQCfQXw0Ssy1xMyQsy13Vq2WqPGbo14Eq3sa65Uiqw6aP3tmPa9FIlLXSlC6j5pyLAdlABDAVJJh5rkvk-AZ3sQrh9lMLW3YtWZfEezDM0B5QeqRAr-Ma0qbU97Q83PaIGf482KyXadz-MoEsPcUqrcLLiyhblE-Za/s400/HMS%20PEMBROKE%20%2811%29.jpg"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg50lf0TT-LH8he2TMuslZ9XzK3t1-u3LoMk4qJBTq3c-ZY_pFL-HZvmMXuFfZ_fOEnaRxAmNTlcPzOBjqZW5Zn9dh0HWY8FVYKaBFsMiFkwQcDD8bfdcWaeBHTH4UR84sNKiqdbKlR7l_5oHuMm86aSaXDOWQOKzxJxAiFl5wV1cSq4VdclCPI3Ww73_c_/s2500/HMS%20PEMBROKE%20%2814%29.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="1875" data-original-width="2500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg50lf0TT-LH8he2TMuslZ9XzK3t1-u3LoMk4qJBTq3c-ZY_pFL-HZvmMXuFfZ_fOEnaRxAmNTlcPzOBjqZW5Zn9dh0HWY8FVYKaBFsMiFkwQcDD8bfdcWaeBHTH4UR84sNKiqdbKlR7l_5oHuMm86aSaXDOWQOKzxJxAiFl5wV1cSq4VdclCPI3Ww73_c_/s400/HMS%20PEMBROKE%20%2814%29.jpg"/></a></div>Linda, pembrokehistory@live.co.ukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09075827200028051712noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735875680309243749.post-65563135683044704472023-05-14T21:03:00.000+01:002023-05-14T21:03:11.793+01:00Pembrokeshire and slavery - Saturday's talkSaturday's meeting was very well attended - a fascinating talk by Paul Muller on the slave trade and how it affected the country in general and the Pembrokeshire people who were involved in it.
Interestingly, In October 1830 an anti-slavery meeting was held here, in Pembroke Town Hall. A powerful speech was delivered by Sir James Mackintosh, a Scottish MP who campaigned against the use of slave labour in Britain’s colonies: (his second wife Catherine (nee Allen) hailed from Cresselly). Other speakers included Anglican clergymen, including Rev James Byers, vicar of Lamphey. There was unanimous support for the Earl Cawdor and Sir Hugh Owen MP to present anti-slavery petitions to the Houses of Parliament<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOvTeHUjPaUZqnY_Odgb-woS7XmtYSwjLuS7Bx2lXEb5PtNye5g6FBU3qb_r1nbHfMnjvuAs1lJOP8BA9B13xgbngvEmSgN9G-D3-coyNhHg9Mc2XBMx6o-Q6liI4U7kMXOYwOUbWKWDo44OkipStrjO35HUfmPkRmCRscxoGNOWQy5kocoA2APVVF3w/s4032/IMG_5178.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOvTeHUjPaUZqnY_Odgb-woS7XmtYSwjLuS7Bx2lXEb5PtNye5g6FBU3qb_r1nbHfMnjvuAs1lJOP8BA9B13xgbngvEmSgN9G-D3-coyNhHg9Mc2XBMx6o-Q6liI4U7kMXOYwOUbWKWDo44OkipStrjO35HUfmPkRmCRscxoGNOWQy5kocoA2APVVF3w/s400/IMG_5178.JPG"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6po8hTMYo22iANpHHmpClbLfG3omxzfS5zI0sTzxLbc7EuEnzursbCK5ORfLY55Or0SQ664SuBaaWMpZj37012S1KfJwT1TtNrNDMa40wNl9yADzGZz8we-9IpSajDZBS1c93gL8UO_I-nW451Ex8uL39O0Gkn9PQN8meH8BmquG4vchLw5RzamRd9g/s4032/IMG_5187.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6po8hTMYo22iANpHHmpClbLfG3omxzfS5zI0sTzxLbc7EuEnzursbCK5ORfLY55Or0SQ664SuBaaWMpZj37012S1KfJwT1TtNrNDMa40wNl9yADzGZz8we-9IpSajDZBS1c93gL8UO_I-nW451Ex8uL39O0Gkn9PQN8meH8BmquG4vchLw5RzamRd9g/s400/IMG_5187.JPG"/></a></div>Linda, pembrokehistory@live.co.ukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09075827200028051712noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735875680309243749.post-72222769626977540362023-04-04T19:42:00.000+01:002023-04-04T19:42:19.453+01:00Our next event - Saturday May 13th <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzTtdkoaiIrzANlvwfkrx09ySgYnfGqN_CWLwWjYe0TB4J-UdS9lDMN0Rlk7Sx56NseLELVp0uRaJmCVp-4dE628ihn7aZ34xmiDxM4aYSsHMsUiFbcZ7GPBTewy3IMgZNGES5xWYR6iN4CwpxS7r8yDyJ_W-nDpkqwEf_AT2cXBnPAbcVPu14pOzgng/s1754/Talk%20by%20Mark%20Muller%20May%2013th.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="400" data-original-height="1754" data-original-width="1240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzTtdkoaiIrzANlvwfkrx09ySgYnfGqN_CWLwWjYe0TB4J-UdS9lDMN0Rlk7Sx56NseLELVp0uRaJmCVp-4dE628ihn7aZ34xmiDxM4aYSsHMsUiFbcZ7GPBTewy3IMgZNGES5xWYR6iN4CwpxS7r8yDyJ_W-nDpkqwEf_AT2cXBnPAbcVPu14pOzgng/s400/Talk%20by%20Mark%20Muller%20May%2013th.jpg"/></a></div>Linda, pembrokehistory@live.co.ukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09075827200028051712noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735875680309243749.post-2279597644225318452023-04-04T19:39:00.002+01:002023-04-04T19:39:35.379+01:00Saturday April 1st Coffee Morning and TalkAnother enjoyable morning at Pembroke Town Hall on Saturday. From 10am visitors were able to enjoy a coffee morning, a visit to the museum and, for added interest, a film in the Council Chamber. This was a 2006 recording of ‘The Street' featuring Pembroke Main Street featuring local characters including Connie Brown and Roy Haggar. Also on display were PCC’s plans for the South Quay. At 11am all assembled in the Main Hall first for the raffle and then for the talk by popular local historian Terry John who spoke about a little known 17th Century author/poet named John Taylor.

Our speaker this month is Terry John and the subject of his talk is ‘John Taylor; the Water Poet'. John Taylor was a remarkable writer of poems, epigrams and prose who was born in the reign of Elizabeth I and became famous for a number of journeys he made around Britain. He made an eccentric tour of Wales in 1652, visiting Pembroke, Tenby and St Davids and described it all in verse and prose.
Doors will open from 10am for coffee and an opportunity to visit the Museum and Council Chamber, which are situated on the first floor of the Town Hall – a lift is available for disabled access. Following this, at 11am, assemble in the George Lewis Room for the talk.
Everyone is welcome to attend - you do not have to be a member - and entry is free.

Linda Asman gave a talk about Pembroke's great art heritage with a display of the museum's collection of engravings. Also discussed was the progress of our arts/sculpture trail. The museum attracted a lot of interest as usual and, displayed in the Council Chamber, were the plans for PCC's South Quay development along with heritage photographs of the old quayside.

We look forward to welcoming Father Gildas of Caldey Island to our next meeting on Saturday March 4th. Father Gildas has spoken to us on other occasions - this time he will be talking about women's much neglected role in history. Largely overshadowed by men, we do not hear much about her story: it's very much his story!Linda, pembrokehistory@live.co.ukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09075827200028051712noreply@blogger.com0
