1817 Charles Norris: Town Walls and Castle of Pembroke

Pembroke, which gave its name to the present County of Pembrokeshire, is a mediaeval walled town complete with a magnificent castle dating back to the 11th century. Many of the great and famous form part of our story: Pembroke castle was the birthplace of Henry VII, founder of the Tudor dynasty.  More, its story stretches back into the mists of prehistory when 10,000 years ago man made his way up the Pembroke river to set up home in the Cat’s Hole Cave and Wogan’s Cavern.  Once a thriving port and agricultural centre, now - all industry gone - a tourist destination, there is so much to find out about our fascinating town.

Continuing the Pembroke Story Project

The Pembroke Story Heritage Project has run the course of its funding but we will continue the work of researching the past and raising awareness of our heritage.
