From the Wikipedia article
Johnston is a village, parish and community in Pembrokeshire, Wales, and a parish in the diocese of Diocese of St Davids. It lies on the A4076 road approximately midway between Haverfordwest and Milford Haven. Until the end of the 19th century, anthracite was mined here. The village is now a dormitory for Haverfordwest and Milford Haven. The parish church has the typical tall, slim castellated tower of churches in the largely English-speaking south of Pembrokeshire, sometimes known as "Little England beyond Wales". Originally established as an agricultural settlement, Johnston developed significantly during the 19th and early 20th centuries due to anthracite coal mining. Today, it functions largely as a commuter village.
