ANGLE, or NANGLE, a parish, in the hundred of CASTLEMARTIN, county of PEMBROKE, SOUTH WALES, 10 miles (W.) from Pembroke, containing 458 inhabitants. This parish is situated at the south-western extremity of the county, and in an angle of Milford haven, affording excellent anchorage for small vessels; from which circumstance it probably has obtained its name. Limestone of very excellent quality is found here in abundance, which, being susceptible of a fine polish, is formed into mantel-pieces, and a considerable portion of it is burnt for manure. The female inhabitants are employed in platting straw for bonnets, hassocks, and matting, and, during the season, the men are occupied in dredging for oysters. The living consists of a sinecure rectory and a discharged vicarage, in the archdeaconry and diocese of St. David's, the former rated in the king's books at £10. 10., and in the patronage of the Crown; and the latter rated at £3. 19. 2., endowed with £400 royal bounty, and in the patronage of the Bishop of St. David's; two-thirds of the tithes are appropriated to the rectory, and one-third to the vicarage. The church is dedicated to St. Mary. A school for the gratuitous instruction of about twenty-five poor girls is entirely supported by Mrs. Mirehouse, of Brownslade, in the parish of Castlemartin. Near the entrance of the haven are the remains of an ancient building, called the Block-House, of the origin or purpose of which there is no historical record: from its situation it appears to have been erected for the protection of the entrance, probably in the reign of Henry VIII., or Elizabeth; but, from the excellency of the masonry, some tourists have ascribed to it a Roman origin. Near the church is a mansion called the Hall, the property of John Mirehouse, Esq., of Brownslade, to whom the whole parish belongs, and now in the occupation of a tenant. The average annual expenditure for the support of the poor is £229. 16.
