Freystrop is a village, parish and community in Pembrokeshire, Wales, 2 miles (3.2 km) southeast of Haverfordwest.[2]
History
[edit | edit source]Freystrop was under the Lordship of Haverford. The land was originally an open field and common land system in mediaeval times, with enclosure taking place in the 18th century. Alongside agriculture, coal had been mined, possibly seasonally by farmers and their workers. By the middle of the 19th century, coal mining had accelerated, alongside suppression of agriculture.[3]
Village
[edit | edit source]Over several centuries, two parts of the village developed, Lower Freystrop to the north, mostly of older properties, and newer Freystrop (or Freystrop Cross) with generally newer properties.[3] There is a Congregational place of worship in the village.[4]
Parish
[edit | edit source]Freystrop parish, in the ancient Roose Hundred, in 1833 had a population of 636.[2] The area of the parish is 1,637 acres (662 ha) and covers several settled areas to the west of the Western Cleddau.[5] The parish church is dedicated to St Justinian, in the United Benefice of Roose, Church in Wales.[6][7]
