Hanes bywgraffyddol
Cottesmore was originally called Cotts, and was the home of a Williams family from at least 1731 until 1801, when Francis Williams sold Cotts to Louis Devandes and Mary (Stokes) his wife. In 1814 they sold Cotts to Lawrence Peel (d. c.1823) of Ardwick, Lancashire. Jonathan Howarth Peel of Cotts (fl. 1826-1839), a first cousin to Sir Robert Peel (1788-1850) the prime minister, was sheriff of Pembrokeshire in 1826. His only daughter Helen Peel married in 1835 with Edward Taylor Massy (b. 1807,) who inherited the Massy family's substantial estate in Limerick, Ireland, in 1836. In 1839, he bought Cotts from his father-in-law and started building a new house close to the old house. The new house was completed in 1841 and called Cottesmore. One of the last members of the family at Cottesmore was Lieutenant-General H. R. S. Massy, sheriff of Pembrokeshire 1946. Some years later Cottesmore was purchased by Colonel G. T. Kelway (d. 1990), sheriff of Pembrokeshire in 1958.
