Name

The parish’s Welsh name was Castell Hên-drêv (or Hendre), Anglicised by early English settlers to its present form. It derives from an ancient tumulus surrounded by a moat.[1] It appears as Castel henrye on a 1578 parish map of Pembrokeshire.[2]

History

In 1833 the population of the parish was 282.[1] It includes the hamlet of Tufton on the nearby B4329 Cardigan to Haverfordwest turnpike.[3]

Church

The parish church is dedicated to St Brynach (English: St Bernard).[1]

gollark: I think modern WiFi stuff uses *multiple* antennas, actually, it's called "MIMO".
gollark: It would also not be very useful for spying on people, since they would just stop saying things if they got a notification saying "interception agent has been added to the chat" and it wouldn't work retroactively.
gollark: One proposal for backdooring encrypted messaging stuff was to have a way to remotely add extra participants invisibly to an E2Ed conversation. If you have that but without the "invisible" bit, that would work as "encryption with a backdoor, but then make it very obvious that the backdoor has been used" somewhat.
gollark: Not encryption itself, probably.
gollark: They don't seem to want to *ban* end-to-end encryption as much as backdoor the popularly used stuff. Which is still bad. I should finish writing that blog post on it some time this decade.
