Pembrokeshire showing Narberth Hundred

The Hundred of Narberth was a hundred in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It was formed by the Act of Union of 1536 from parts of the pre-Norman cantrefs of Penfro (the commote of Coedrath) and Cantref Gwarthaf (the commote of Efelfre)[1]. It derives its Welsh name from the town and district of the same name, which means "(district) by the wood", (that is the forest of Coedrath)[2]. The hundred spanned the linguistic boundary, with the parishes of Velfrey being identified by George Owen[3] as Welsh-speaking, and the southern coastal part being English-speaking, part of Little England beyond Wales.
