History

Haroldston Manor, which is now a ruin, is the old seat of the Harrolds and the Perrots, in particular Sir John Perrot,[1] who is thought to be the illegitimate son of Henry VIII. It appears (as Harroldston) on a 1578 parish map of Pembrokeshire.[2] Upper and Lower Haroldston are two ancient farmhouses that were probably part of the Haroldston estate. Lower Haroldston is still a working farm, whilst Upper Haroldston is a domestic dwelling.
