Pendre, 'top of the town' in Welsh, was the site of one of the tollgates that became the focus of the Rebecca Riots in the 1840's. Local people across south and west Wales, dressed as women for disguise, caused mayhem when they protested against extortionate charges for the use of turnpike roads. In September 1843 several hundred rioters tore down the Fishguard tollgate and fired muskets.
