Rosemarket Local History Society

Our aims are to encourage community participation in the research, recording and communication of the history of the village of Rosemarket in Pembrokeshire, and to help preserve rural village life for future generations.

We are a new group and this website will continue to be developed, with content being added on an ongoing basis. If you would like to get involved, please email us: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
