WALTON-EAST, a parish, in the union of HAVERFORDWEST, hundred of DUNGLEDDY, county of PEMBROKE, SOUTH WALES, 7 miles (E.
N. E.) from Haverfordwest; containing 274 inhabitants. This parish formerly constituted a part of the ample -possessions
of the commandery of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, at Slebech, to which establishment it was given by its Norman
proprietor, Walter de Wale, from whom it derived its name, Wale's town, or Walton. The scenery, though by no means rich,
is less dreary than in some other parts of the county; and Penty Park, the property of a branch of the family of
Philipps, of Picton Castle, with its grounds, forms a pleasing and ornamental feature in the land-scope. The living is a
perpetual curacy, endowed with 000 royal -bounty, and £200 parliamentary grant; net income, £60; patron and irnpropriator,
Lloyd Philipps, Esq., whose tithes have been commuted at a rent-charge of £170. The church, dedicated to St. Mary, is a
very small rude edifice, consisting only of a nave, without either tower or spire. The sum of £5 per annum, subsequently
reduced to £3, and now discontinued, was left by the late Mr. Philipps, of Tenby, chargeable on his estate of Penty Park,
for the education of seven children of the parish. Here is a day school, in which about 25 children are instruatedat the
expense of their wade; also a Sunday school, containing-about 30 males and females, who are gratuitously taught by
Calvinistic Methodists.
