FAMILY HISTORY |
| The Allen family settled at Cresselly, Pembrokeshire, when John Allen (d. 1752), of Goodhooke, married Joan, daughter and heiress of John Bartlett of Cresselly in 1728. The Bartlett family had lived at Cresselly since 1564. John and Joan Bartlett's son and heir was John Bartlett Allen (b. 1733) who acquired Panteg (Panteague), Llanddewi Velfrey, Pembrokeshire, following his marriage to Elizabeth, only daughter and heiress of John Hensleigh of Panteg. The Hensleigh family had purchased Panteg from Sir John Stepney in 1619. Five generations of the Hensleighs remained at Panteg until the marriage of Elizabeth and John. John and Elizabeth were succeeded by their eldest son, John Hensleigh Allen (1769-1843), a barrister and MP for Pembroke Boroughs 1819-1826, who married Catherine Phillips. He is also noted as owning Cefn y coed, Llanegwad, Carmarthenshire, by 1839. The Cresselly estate descended directly in the male line until Henry Seymour Allen (1847-1928), who died unmarried. The estate then passed to his nephew, Hugh Evelyn Allen (1880-1933). His heir was his only daughter, Auriol Joan Bartlett Harrison-Allen. Her son, Hugh Harrison-Allen is the present owner |
