Summary[edit]

Description
English: Old Henllan (1) Lost in a no-man's-land between the oil refinery and the nature reserve are the remains of what was once the well-endowed gentry estate of Henllan, referred to by Richard Fenton in 1811 as
"one of the few places that, in the midst of the incroaching and innovating Normans, stiffly preserved its original British name, and continued to be inhabited for several generations by the successive descendants of a genuine Welsh family from the princely line of Gwynfardd Dyved, till in the reign of Queen Elizabeth." 

During the C16 and C17 it was the property of the rich and influential White family who intermarried with just about every other gentry family in West Wales and beyond (see article by Francis Jones in The Pembrokeshire Historian 1974).

Subsequently the estate was lost and abandoned by Fenton's time. The ruins seen here became part of a farm known as Upper Hentland (another farm called Hentland still exists nearby).
