The Civil War.
In January 1644, a Parliamentary fleet was put into the Haven for shelter after landing a party of 200 seamen to try to recover the Parliamentary hold on the area.
The leader of the South Wales Royalists, Sir Francis Lloyd and John Laugharne of St Brides with John Poyer of Pembroke with a company of men came to Steynton. The plan was to attack Pill Priory with a group of 26 musketeers. The attack was about to begin when a white flag was hoisted and a garrison of 250 men were captured.
In charge of the cannon at the fort war was John Barlow, a member of the family which acquired the Manor of Hubberston and Pill after the dissolution.
