Rosemarket

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rosemarket is a village and parish in Pembrokeshire, Wales.

The name means "market in the hundred of Roose (Welsh: Rhôs)". It was a marcher borough founded by the Knights Hospitaller in the 12th century. Owen, in 1603, described it as one of nine Pembrokeshire "boroughs in decay"[1]. The church, like many in Roose, is dedicated to the local St Ismael. The village has a medieval dovecote [2], and a large hillfort.
