WALTON WEST
 A Ghostly Tale
  Walton West, according to the history books even has its own ghost.

 The Old School House
  The Old School House built in 1837 for 100 children and later expanded. 
  On the grounds there is an old well that used to be used by Monks 
  travelling across land towards St Davids. When sea conditions were bad 
  landings were made in the Haven to avoid the fast flowing water of the 
  Goose Race. These wells were situated across the countryside from 
  Monks Haven to St Davids and used as resting place

  "WALTON (WEST), a parish in the hundred of RHÔS, county of 
  PEMBROKE, SOUTH WALES, 6 miles (W. by S.) from Haverfordwest, 
  containing 411 inhabitants. This parish is situated upon the coast of 
  St. Bride's bay, by which it is bounded on the west. The surrounding 
  country is destitute of beauty, but the view over the bay is enlivened by 
  the passing and repassing of vessels. The living is a discharged rectory, 
  in the archdeaconry and diocese of St.David's, rated in the king's books 
  at £6. 13. 4., and endowed with £400 royal bounty. The church is not 
  entitled to architectural notice. The average annual expenditure for the 
  support of the poor is £76. 8." [From A Topographical Dictionary of Wales 
  (S. Lewis, 1833).]
