Milton is a village in the community of Carew, in the county of Pembrokeshire in the south-west of Wales.
Geography
Milton is a mile west of Sageston and Carew and two miles west of Redberth.[1] The A477 road passes through the village.[2] The built environment of the village includes cottages, vernacular houses and farm buildings, with a housing estate from the late 20th century on the outskirts of the village.[3]
History
The village is believed to date from the Middle Ages. In 1362 the area was owned by the Malefant family.[3] Milton developed around the corn mill owned by the Baronry of Carew, and by the sixteenth century there were also multiple carding mills in the village. A second mill called Flemington Mill operated further upstream; this mill closed in 1820. In 1898 a waterworks and pumping station were established in the village, with the water incorporated into the public supply from 1915 until 1970, when the station was closed.[4]
During World War II, Milton was hit by bombs on 22 July 1940 as part of a Luftwaffe night raid, along with neighbouring villages. It is likely that the target was the aerodrome bordering the village.[5]
Landmarks
Milton House is a mansion on the south of the A477. It was built in 1820 by the Barlow family on land previously occupied by a house belonging to the Upton Castle estate. As of 2013, the house was a hotel named Milton Manor.[6]
Culture and community
The Brewery Inn is in the village to the north of the A477.[6] The pub was previously known as The Bridgend. A second pub called The Three Horseshoes used to exist in the village; by the 1930s, this had become a bakery.[4]
Milton Play Park is a play area in the village.[7] New outdoor exercise equipment was installed in the play area in 2025.[8]
