History

Former vicarage originally known as Vicar's Park, described in 1833 as "a handsome vicarage .. called Vicar's Park, from the name of the plot of glebe on which it stands has been erected by the present incumbent, Reverend Samuel Fenton, which has much improved the entrance to the town". The Rev Samuel Fenton was the son of Richard Fenton, the historian. A grant of £479 was given in 1829-30. The architect may have been David Evans of Fishguard. In the earlier C20 it was remodelled with a forward extension to the ground floor.
