"JORDANSTON, a parish in the hundred of DEWISLAND, county of PEMBROKE, SOUTH WALES, 4 miles (S.W.) from Fishguard, containing 157 inhabitants. It appears to have derived its name from an ancient family estate within its limits, and is pleasantly situated in the north-western part of the county, being intersected by a stream which falls into the river Hog. The surrounding scenery is agreeably diversified, and the views of the adjacent country comprehend a pleasing variety of interesting features. In the immediate vicinity are some handsome seats, of which the principal within the parish are, Jordanston, the ancient family mansion of the Vaughans, agreeably situated in a retired part of the country, and comprehending much pleasing scenery; and Llangwaren, an ancient residence, the property of C. Matthias, Esq., now of Lamphey Court, which, with the extensive and well-cultivated farm attached to it, is at present in the occupation of I.M. Phelps, Esq. The living is a discharged rectory, in the archdeaconry and diocese of St. David's, rated in the king's books at £6.3.9., endowed with £400 royal bounty, and in the patronage of G.G. Vaughan, Esq. The church, dedicated to St. Cwrda, is a small neat edifice, appropriately fitted up for the performance of divine service, but not distinguished by any interesting architectural details. Here are some remains of a circular encampment, which is generally ascribed to the Danes, but its origin and history are alike unknown. The average annual expenditure for the support of the poor is £89." [From A Topographical Dictionary of Wales (S. Lewis, 1833).]
