Dale Castle
There appear to be few reliable records of the original castle in which the De Vale family lived around 1100. The present house was built in approximately 1700 and was thereafter remodelled twice, the last around the beginning of the 20th century. There are older buildings to the south of the present house which may have formed part of the ancient building.
Dale Castle & St James Church
The Lordship of Dale is recorded as belonging to the Paynter family, who originated from Cornwall, then, by marriage, came into the possession of the Allens from Gelliswick near Milford Haven. They were followed by the Lloyds from Cardiganshire, who changed their name to Lloyd Philipps on the death of the 1st Lord Milford in 1823. The present owner is Martyn H.B. Ryder a grandson of the late Colonel Rhodri Lloyd Philipps.
