History of Laugharne
Possession passed to the Crown, and during the 16th century it belonged to Sir John Perrot, returning to the crown after his death. In 1644 the castle was garrisoned for the king and taken for Parliament by Major-General Rowland Laugharne, who subsequently reverted to the king’s side. This led Cromwell to lay siege to the castle, leaving it in ruins.
