The parish is intersected by the old road from St. Clear's to Narberth. The living, which is a perpetual curacy, consolidated with that of Marros, was formerly dependent on the mother church of Laugharne, but having been lately endowed with £8 per annum by the vicar of that parish, and with £600 royal bounty, it was united with Marros; net income, £56; patron, Vicar of Laugharne: the impropriate tithes have been commuted for a rent-charge of £185, and a vicarial one of £40. There is a place of worship for Baptists. . . " [From A Topographical Dictionary of Wales (S. Lewis, 1844).]
