Reynoldston is a village with an English tradition dating back nearly 900 years. It was about 1100AD when the Norman invaders came, probably from across the Bristol Channel, and conquered Gower, making the area an Anglo-Norman Lordship……..Reynoldston is said to be named after Reginald de Breos, one of the early Lords of Gower, or perhaps Reginald or Reynald was some other Norman Knight who first held the Manor and founded the village.
