Castle Hotel/Inn Haverfordwest

[K Rees]

I would like to research more information on the Castle Hotel/Inn in Haverfordwest.

In particular, as to when my ancestor David Rees (1757-1837) became a partner in its lease before 1797 and the names of the other lessees.

Maybe someone had access to when the Barlow family constructed the building.

My ancestor David Rees sold his lease to Lewis Pugh in 1805 (newspaper article attached). Lewis Pugh also returned there in 1820 from Derby farm St. Issels Haroldston, when Rees brought back his lease of Derby farm.
Attached also an imaged of the hotel.
