PREFACE. HE kindly reception accorded to my ' Nooks and Corners of Herefordshire,' both by the pubHc and the press, has encouraged me (where, indeed, en- couragement was httle needed) to set forth anew upon my sketching rambles, and explore the Nooks and Corners of Pembrokeshire. In chronicling the results of these peregrinations, I feel that I owe some apology to those whose knowledge of the Shire of Pembroke is far more thorough and intimate than my own, and upon whose preserves I may fairly be accused of poaching. I venture to plead, in extenuation, an inveterate love for exploring these unfrequented byways of my native land, and for searching out and sketching those picturesque old buildings that lend such a unique interest to its sequestered nooks and corners. Pembrokeshire is rich in these relics of a bygone time, but for one reason or another they do not appear to have received the attention they certainly deserve. Few counties can boast anything finer of their kind than the mediseval castles of Pembroke, Manorbere and Carew ; while St. Davids Cathedral and the ruined Palace of its bishops, nestling in their secluded western vale, form a scene that alone is worth a visit to behold. No less remarkable in their way are the wonderful old crosses, circles and cromlechs, which remind the traveller of a vanished race as he tramps the broad fern-clad uplands of the Precelly Hills.

Each provincial Kingdom was under the Kingship of a particular clan, the McMurroughs, O’Briens, O’Connors and O’Neills respectively, in regard to each of the 4 major Provinces at that time. One might also add to the preceding list the territory of the O’Rourkes of Brefni in north west Leinster due to its prominence in the history of that period. Each of the 4 or 5 Provinces would additionally be comprised in turn of lands and territories ruled by numerous regional sub-chiefs, the chiefs of clan. There were a large number of these lesser lands or territories or fiefdoms, large and small, within each Province. These fiefdoms or bailiwicks of clan rule and territory might comprise an area of similar or lesser size to that of the later Norman land divisions, the county, barony and cantred (county being also called ‘shire’ in England).
