It is located to the west of Milford Haven and Hakin and east of St Ishmael's. Before 1960 and the building of the ESSO oil refinery, the village only had a population of 200; as infrastructure grew, so did the population. The size of the village increased within a matter of years, as housing estates associated with the refinery were built. The village has a population of 397, 15% of which is Welsh-speaking. HistoryHerbrandston's name derives from a Norman or Flemish settler in Pembrokeshire, named Herbrand, who, soon after the Norman Conquest, settled here.[2] It was part of the historical hundred of Roose. ChurchSt Mary's church in the village contains a worn effigy of what appears to be a 14th-century knight holding a sword. Its tower has two levels; the third level, which contained battlements, was removed between 1740 and 1770.[3] The village green was the site of an annual Hiring Fair, held on 12 August.[2] Thankful villageHerbrandston is one of only 14 doubly[4] Thankful Villages in the UK, in that it suffered no fatalities during either World War I or World War II.[5][6] References1. ^{{NOMIS2011|id=1170221703|title=Herbrandston Parish: Local Area Report|accessdate=27 August 2018}} 2. ^1 {{cite book|last=Lewis|first=Samuel|title=A Topographical History of Wales|year=1849|pages=411–418|url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=47833&strquery=Herbrandston#s16}} 3. ^Milford Haven Walks, PLANED, 2005 4. ^{{cite web | url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-15671943 |title = BBC News - Thankful Villages | publisher= BBC | accessdate = 2011-11-11 }} 5. ^{{cite web|last=Morgan|first=Tom|title=Hellfire Corner|url=http://www.hellfirecorner.co.uk/TV/herbrandston.htm|work=Thankful Villages}} 6. ^{{cite news|work=BBC News|date=8 November 2018|author=Hume, Colette|title=Wales' two 'doubly thankful' villages|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-46127468|accessdate=8 November 2018}} External links
