1895 Pembrokeshire County Council election

The third election to Pembrokeshire County Council was held in March 1895.^[1] It was preceded by the 1892 election and followed by the 1898 election.

Overview of the result

In 1895 there were fewer uncontested returns than at the previous election in 1892, as the Conservatives launched a determined effort to take control of the county council. This resulted in substantial gains at the expense of the Liberals.
