Dist:0.7km<br/>An information board in the village states, "The name Williamston dates from the Middle Ages when Anglo-Norman influence was strong. Traces of the system of farming of that period can be seen in the long narrow fields of the present landscape. The green is part of the village common. The church was built in stone at this time (and largely rebuilt in the 19th century)." "WILLIAMSTON, a chapelry, in the parish of Begelly, union and hundred of Narberth, county of Pembroke, South Wales, 4 miles (N. W.) from Tenby; containing 495 inhabitants. It is situated on the high road between Pembroke and Carmarthen. Coal is obtained here. The chapel is a rude edifice, without tower or spire." (A Topographical Dictionary of Wales - S. Lewis, 1849)

Dist:1.0km<br/>"The first Baptists met in nearby cottages and farmhouses before basing themselves in a room above a public house called Cold Inn - which had given its name to the tiny hamlet near Kilgetty. This was obviously far from satisfactory, so in 1861 a new chapel was built just up the road. Although officially called Ebenezer, locals still refer to it as Cold Inn Chapel."
