Haroldston House ruins - geograph.org.uk - 1202909
It was enlarged and modernised by the Perrots who added two new halls, a walled courtyard and a 5m squared gatehouse which housed a spiral staircase and a garderobe. In the 17th century it became a self contained tower house and was later known as the Stewards Tower. In the 18th century Haroldston was owned by the Pakington family and leased out. It sadly fell into decay but the Stewards Tower was occupied until the late 19th century. The gardens attached to the great house were reputed to be some of the finest formal Tudor gardens in Wales.
Sadly the area now has as its neighbours a sewage works, railway line and main road to Milford Haven.Relevante Bilder
