	Laugharne History

		Laugharne has had a long association with the cockle industry, the cockles being harvested from the estuary mud flats.
		At one stage Laugharne is reputed to have had 57 pubs and ale houses catering for the traders, mariners and fishermen, many of the houses in Laugharne still bear the names of these drinking places.

	Laugharne Castle
		In 1584, Elizabeth I granted Laugharne to Sir John Parrott, said to have been the illegitimate son of Henry VIII.
		Laugharne may be the castle mentioned in about 1116 as the castle of Robert Courtemain, but the first definite reference to the Norman castle is in 1189 when, after the death of King Henry II, it was seized by the Lord Rhys, prince of Deheubarth.
		By the time of the Welsh attack in 1257, the castle was in the ownership of the de Brian family and it was Guy de Brian IV who, evidently determined to create a much more defensible structure, started to build the strong masonry castle which we see today.
