A lively presentation by Terry John, from Pembroke, about a pivotal moment in that town’s history.

In 1648, during the English Civil Wars, the town of Pembroke, Wales endured a six week siege directed by Oliver Cromwell.

He arrived in Pembroke, with an army of around 6,000 men to quash the rebellion, after the garrison of the castle changed allegiances from Parliament to the King. 

The Castle had become a refuge for rebellious Parliamentarian soldiers after the end of the First English Civil War. Rowland Laugharne and Rice Powell, a Welsh Colonel, eventually surrendered.
