Market-day, Thursday. The ruins of a Norman castle crown the summit of a hill, and have a very picturesque appearance. ...
A considerable trade is done in connection with neighbouring quarries and stone mines. Narberth forms one of the Pembroke District of Parliamentary Boroughs, which returns 1 member; it was formerly one of the Haverfordwest District, which returned 1 member until 1855.
