Wiston, Pembrokeshire

Wiston, Pembrokeshire

Wiston ( _cy. Cas-Wis) is a village in Pembrokeshire, Wales, in the United Kingdom. It was once a marcher borough. Owen, in 1603, described it as one of nine Pembrokeshire "boroughs in decay" [Owen, George, "The Description of Penbrokshire by George Owen of Henllys Lord of Kemes", Henry Owen (Ed), London, 1892] . It continued as a constituent parliamentary borough until the end of the 19th century.

It is overlooked by Wiston Castle.
