Tiers Cross is a village, community and electoral ward containing the community in Pembrokeshire, West Wales. It includes the areas of Thornton and Dreenhill,[2] and falls within Steynton parish.[3] The village lies on a minor road southwest of Haverfordwest, the county town.[4]

Community

An elected community council meets once a month, apart from July and August, and are open to the public.[5]

Village

The School Room, originally built in 1932 as an educational facility, now serves as a village hall for Tiers Cross.[6]

In July 2024 a new council housing project, the Tudor Place Project, was completed to benefit tenants with a local connection. A mix of sustainable, prefabricated and affordable homes would help locals to stay in the area.[7]

A pub, the Welcome Traveller Inn, dating back to the 1600s, closed in 2021 and was converted to a private residence.[8]

There are seven listed buildings in the community, all Grade II.[9]
