History
Summerhill was originally where farmers would graze their sheep in the summer, hence the name, but now it is a village of several houses and a corner shop. It is not marked on a pre-1850 map of Amroth parish.[1] A Primitive Methodist chapel was established in 1879; chapel records, including baptisms, Sunday school papers and minutes are held by Pembrokeshire Records Office.[2] By the 1990s the chapel had been converted to a residential property.[3]
Governance
Summerhill comes under the governance of Amroth Community Council.[4]
