Haverfordwest Town Museum in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire Sir Benfro, United Kingdom | Museum
The people of Haverfordwest, both past and present, are represented throughout the Museum in numerous photographs and artworks.
Here we celebrate the important rich civic life of Haverfordwest. There have been Mayors of Haverfordwest since the Middle Ages, although we only have a complete list from 1563. In 1479 an important Charter was granted to the town by Edward, Prince of Wales (later Edward V) and others granted by James I and William and Mary.
On display, we see mayoral robes and trumpets as well as the famous mayoral hat. The original chain given to the town to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee in 1887 is also exhibited.
Records of the arrival of the railway in Haverfordwest in 1853 are also on display.
