"JOHNSTON, a parish in the hundred of RHÔS county of PEMBROKE, SOUTH WALES, 3 1/4 miles (S.S.W.) from Haverfordwest, on the road to Milford, containing 194 inhabitants. The environs are pleasant, and contain some agreeable scenery, and in the vicinity are several respectable seats. Johnston Hall, an ancient mansion of the family of Edwards, and for a long time the residence of the late Lord Kensington, is now the property of the present lord, and is in the occupation of Thomas Bowen, Esq. The lands, which are all freehold, are chiefly enclosed, and in a good state of cultivation. This parish abounds with culm and limestone, the former of which is worked for the supply of the neighbourhood, and the latter also on a limited scale, and chiefly burnt for manure. The living is a discharged rectory, consolidated with the vicarage of Steynton, in the archdeaconry and diocese of St. David's, rated in the King's books at £2. 0. 5., endowed with the rectorial tithes, and in the patronage of the King, as Prince of Wales. The church is not distinguished by any peculiar architectural features. There is a place of worship for Baptists. A Sunday school, in which about forty children are gratuitously instructed, is supported by subscription. The average annual expenditure for the support of the poor amounts to £35. 9." [From A Topographical Dictionary of Wales (S. Lewis, 1833).]
