History

Terraced house, said to date from the 1870s, but probably a rebuilding of an earlier house. The rebuilding was for Brigstokes, local printing and publishing house, succeeded by J. W Hammond who launched the Pembrokeshire County Guardian newspaper around 1920. The site is said to be associated with the early Quakers in Haverfordwest, but written accounts put their early meetings and chapel in Quay Street.
