of the
hundred"BOULSTON, otherwise BULSTON, a parish, in the union of HAVERFORDWEST, hundred of DUNGLEDDY, county of PEMBROKE, SOUTH WALES, 3 miles (S.E. by S.) from Haverfordwest; containing 319 inhabitants. This parish was for many generations the residence of the ancient family of the Wogans, by whom the church is supposed to have been built. It is pleasantly situated on the banks of the river Cleddau, and the surrounding scenery, which in some parts is richly wooded, is pleasingly and agreeably diversified. Culm abounds in the parish, but it has not been worked; and a vein of iron-ore has been discovered, but no preparations for procuring it have been made. . . The church is an ancient structure, ornamented on the outside by the arms of the Wogans . . . Some remains of the ancient family mansion of the Wogans, on the bank of the river, are still preserved, as a picturesque ruin, in the beautiful grounds of an elegant mansion, the seat of R.I. Ackland, Esq." [From A Topographical Dictionary of Wales (S. Lewis, 1844).]
