HASGUARD

    "HASGUARD, a parish in the hundred of RHÔS, county of
    PEMBROKE, SOUTH WALES, 4 1/2 miles (N.W. by W.) from Milford, 
    containing 106 inhabitants. This parish is pleasantly situated in the
    western part of the county, and nearly in the centre of the peninsula
    which separates Milford haven from St. Bride's bay. The lands are all
    enclosed and cultivated, and the soil is generally productive; but the
    surrounding scenery, though pleasingly varied, is not distinguished by
    any peculiarity of feature.

    The views from the higher grounds embrace some fine prospects over
    the adjacent country, having in the distance St. Bride's bay on the
    north, and Milford haven on the south. The living is a discharged 
    rectory, in the archdeaconry and diocese of St. David's, rated in the 
    king's books at £18. 6. 6., and in the patronage of the King, as Prince
    of Wales.  The church, dedicated to St. Peter, is not remarkable for
    any architectural details of importance. The average annual
    expenditure for the support of the poor is £100.12.
