THE KNIGHTS IN WALES
The Knights Hospitallers held several key estates across medieval Wales, including Slebech in Pembrokeshire—their Welsh headquarters—along with commanderies at Ysbyty Ifan in Conwy, and lands in places like Dinmore, Pembroke, and parts of Glamorgan. These sites served both religious and administrative roles, supporting their mission of care, charity, and crusade.

KEMEYS COMMANDER
At Kemeys Commander, the Knights Hospitallers once held 120 acres of land, along with the advowson (the right to appoint the priest) of All Saints Church, which still stands today. Though little physical evidence of the Hospitallers remains, the enduring presence of the church—and the place name itself—offers a quiet echo of the medieval commandery that once stood here.
