On the southern coast of Wales, about six miles from Pembroke, there rises a columnar mass of limestone, called THE STACK ROCK. It is at the mouth of an inlet or pool, which is named from the Rock the Stack-pool. A Norman, said to have been knighted by William the Conqueror, built his castle on this inlet and was called Richard de Stackpol, since pol in old English meant a pool of water. The castle has been remodeled more than once, yet the foundations remain the same, and it has for about eight centuries borne the name of STACKPOLK COURT. It is at present the seat of the Earl of Cawdor. The Stackpole coat of arms, as old as 1250, is a red rampant lion, having a gold collar, on a silver shield. The lineage of the Pembrokeshire Stackpoles for two or three centuries is on record at the College of Heraldry in London. It declares that Sir Robert Stackpole went with Strongbow to the conquest of Ireland in 1168. His descendants became numerous in Dublin, Cork and Limerick, holding many official positions. Twenty mayors, Aldermen and Recorders by the name of Stackpole are found in the records of Limerick from 1450 to 1650.
