Eglwyswen (Welsh pronunciationⓘ; sometimes called Whitechurch or Whitchurch-by-Cardigan) is a scattered rural settlement and parish in Pembrokeshire, Wales.

[2] In the early 19th century much of the parish was arable or pasture, with some upland rough grazing in the south where the Preseli Mountains rise.

[5] 1891 saw the parish involved in months of widespread agitation against the new Tithe Act; there was some violence towards the bailiffs, who were supported by a police presence.

[6] The majority of the farmers in the parish were freeholders, and the long drawn out troubles were referred to in The Cardiff Times as "The Welsh Tithe War".

[9] This Welsh long house, called Brynmeredith, (presumably before it became a pub with rooms) is more commonly known locally as Swan Inn, and is now a purely residential property again after being a holiday cottage and home for its owners from 2011-2024.
