Pontyglasier
Pontyglasier , sometimes recorded as Pontyglazier, is a small village south of Eglwyswrw in Pembrokeshire, Wales, on an unclassified road east of Crosswell. It is a scattered rural settlement with few amenities.
Situation
Pontyglasier is in the community of Eglwyswrw and sits near the confluence of two streams, Afon Bannon and Afon Clun-Maen, just south of the point where they join the River Nevern. The bridge referred to in the name spans the Bannon. Pontyglasier is set in undulating farmland in the Welsh-speaking north of the county and is a dispersed settlement centred around the chapel. It is on the border of two parishes: Meline and Eglwyswen and falls ecclesiastically within the latter.History
In 1891, seven clergymen, including Thomas Morris of Pontyglasier, were charged with beating a bailiff attempting to recover tithe arrears. They were remanded on bail of £40 each. They appeared before magistrates a month later, in which the Reverend Morris was accused of knocking the bailiff's hat off three times during a scuffle. The magistrates found the assault proved against three of the defendants, including Morris, who was fined £3 plus costs for his part.A Sunday School trip in 1900 was a rare event to be photographed.
