Templeton, Pembrokeshire history

---

Early history

The placename Templeton may derive from “The Templar’s Farm’s Farm” or (“Tun”) It is possible that the Knights Templar had some form of religious house here before their possessions were taken over by the Knights Hospitallers. The layout of the present village is an example of deliberate planning in the Middle Ages.

Sentence Castle

Sentence Castle is a raised fortification, a “ringwork”, thought to date from the 12th century. This was probably the castle of arberth which was attacked and destroyed by Gruffydd ap Rhys in 1116, according to a chronicle in the Cotton library. The stone castle at Narberth was not built until over 100 years later.

Margaret’s Well

Located adjacent to Sentence Castle is one of the ‘Holy Wells of Wales’, known as Margaret’s Well. Set into a bank, the well chamber is lined with stone and has a corbelled roof.

Templeton Railway Station

In Templeton a high limestone bridge was built to span Tanner’s Lane and a small station was built in 1867. This was mainly used by the adjacent brickworks until World War I when a new platform was built. The station was closed on 16 June 1965 as part of the Beeching cuts and has since been removed.

Templeton Airfield

RAF Templeton had three concrete runways and was originally a base for 306 Ferry Training Unit. Some sources (including the UK Ordnance Survey) place the 1081 Battle of Mynydd Carn within the boundary of the airfield. The disused runways are now occasionally used for military exercises and low flying training.

Templeton today

Templeton’s importance declined with the closures of the brickworks and the blacksmith. It remains active with a nineteenth-century pub, the Boars Head, a primary school, church and park.
