Cwm Trewyddel, Pembrokeshire

Moylgrove, Pembrokeshire

Uploader's Comments

View with Bethel Independent Chapel at centre. Moylgrove means Matilda's Grove - possibly referring to the wife of Robert Fitzmartin, the first Norman invader of the area. The Welsh name of the parish is Trewyddel = "Irishman's farm" assuming that "gwyddel" here means Irishman, but "Placenames of Pembrokeshire" suggests it is a dialect word meaning "grove", which is more sensible.
