56 - Papers of the Scotchwell Estate, Haverfordwest The Scotchwell Estate located in the parish of Prendergast was originally a farm on the outskirts of Haverfordwest and in the hands of the Surman family in the 1700s. They sold to the Stokes family in 1794. John Lort Stokes of Scotchwell born in 1812 accompanied Charles Darwin on HMS Beagle as a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy. Having survived being speared by a native and escaped being eaten by a crocodile he went on to command the Beagle and ended his career as an Admiral. Later the estate passed to the Samson family. It has since become a caravan site and the house an old peoples home.
