NEWTON, a parish, in the union and hundred of NARBERTH, county of PEMBROKE, SOUTH WALES, 21 miles (W. by S.) from
Narberth; containing 71 inhabitants. This parish is situated near the road leading from Tenby, by Canaston bridge, to
Haverfordwest, and on the left bank of the Eastern Cleddy, and comprises a moderate area, of which the greater part is
inclosed and cultivated, and of the remainder one-half is uncultivated, and the other woodland; the surface is agreeably
diversified, and the scenery enriched with thriving woods. In some parts the parish abounds with iron-stone; and there
were formerly extensive iron-works carried on with great success at Black Pool, on the banks of the Eastern Cleddy, where
is still the shipping-place for the town of Narberth, which afforded employment to a considerable portion of the
inhabitants, but they have been discontinued for several years. The return of the rateable annual value amounts to £342.
