# 1895 Pembrokeshire County Council election

The third election to Pembrokeshire County Council was held in March 1895. 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.

## Boundary changes

There were no boundary changes at this election.
