REDBARTH (RYDBERTH), a parish, in the hundred of NARBERTH, union of PEMBROKE and county of PEMBROKE, SOUTH WALES, 4 miles (N.W.) from Tenby; containing 117 inhabitants. This parish, of which the name was originally spelled Rhydbeith, from Rhyd, a ford, and Beith, a brake, is situated in the south-eastern part of the county, and bounded on the west by that of Carew, north by Jeffreston, northeast by Begelly, and south-east by St. Florence; and consists of about 300 acres, 50 of which are common land. The soil is clayey and not very fertile, but a little wheat, barley, and oats, are grown, the principal produce being potatoes; the rateable annual value is £261. 8. Some of the inhabitants are employed in a colliery in the adjoining parish of Begelly. The mail-coach road, from Carmarthen to Hobbs' Point, passes through the place, which was formerly a hamlet in the parish of Carew, from which it has been severed, and made distinct. The living is a perpetual curacy, endowed with £1200 royal bounty, and £200 parliamentary grant, and in the patronage of the Bishop of St. David's; net income, £66; the impropriation belongs to the Crown. The church having fallen into a very dilapidated condition, was recently rebuilt, and opened for divine service in August 1841, the expense, amounting to £200, part raised by rate, and part by public subscription and contributions, aided by the Church Building Society, which granted £20; it is in the early English style, in length 53 feet and breadth 24, and contains 200 sittings, including 110 free. There is a small place of worship for Wesleyans; and a large Sunday school is carried on, in which some of the adult population receive instruction as well as the children.
