Id="Introduction" name="Introduction">Introduction

Here is a partial extract from the book's introduction which I feel gives the reader a taste of the material in the book;

"................................Included in this book is a translation of one of the most widely known passages by the best loved of modern Welsh writers, the late Sir Owen M Edwardes [ 1858-1920].[The Soul of a Nation]

He knew well enough what he meant when he said that Wales had a soul.

He was not worried by metaphysical niceties, and neither was he thinking in terms of racial purity.

On racialism we can do no better than quote Sir Ifor Williams, doyen of Welsh scholarship today, who once remarked that

................... 'the people of England and of Wales are formed of the same racial ingredients, although not necessarily in the same proportions, but that the same is true of Christmas cake and plum pudding, only that one has been baked and the other boiled ' !

The varying racial proportions probably have some bearing on national temperament, modes of feeling and artistic gifts, but in the main our distinctive national characteristics are the fruits of age-long common experiences, the results of having inhabited the same corner of the earth, the incalculable effects of the natural scene and the affinities born of it, of having spoken a common tongue, created our own institutions, shared the same responsibilities, felt the same community sense, and borne the effects of the same national development.

We can still recognise ourselves in the people of Giraldus's Wales of the twelfth century--our faults and our good qualities, though much has changed.

The Wales of Giraldus and that of Jack Jones are peopled by the same warm-hearted impulsive folk, often contentious, susceptible to the appeal of oratory, relishers of the finely-turned and bold phrase, and passionately attached to the local community and surroundings.

They realise themselves in the interplay of personal relations within the neighbourhood and country to which they feel they belong, and have a deep distrust of any impersonal officialdom, privilege, or remote control. A shrewdness and distrust of vague sentiment are combined with a verse, prose, or in pulpit or platform speech.

Here is no 'Celtic twilight', but a love of clarity, brilliance, distinct colours and striking antithesis.

These are our prevailing modes."

A Book of Wales - An Anthology

Selected by Meic Stephens

J M Dent & Sons Ltd, 1987

From the book's dustjacket
Contents

From the book's dust jacket

Wales is a country with two languages and two literatures. This book, the only one of its kind now available, is an anthology of poetry and prose in English translation which reflects the ancient tradition of Wales and the contemporary vitality of literature in both Welsh and English. All the great names of Welsh and Anglo-Welsh literature are included - Dafydd ap Gwilym, Saunders Lewis, Kate Roberts, Dylan Thomas, David Jones, R. S. Thomas and so on - as well as a host of other writers (more than a hundred in all) who have contributed memorably to their country's heritage.

Their writing touches on many of the major themes of human experience such as childhood, love, patriotism, work, politics, humour, nature, war, death and religion, and sparkles with passion, an imagination, a wit and a mastery of language which will be widely recognized as distinctively Welsh.

Not only are most periods of Welsh history represented but there is hardly any part of Wales that is not featured, from the mountains of the North to the industrial valleys of the South. The reader will find here a portrait of the land and people in all their moods, whether joyful or sombre, and perhaps come to a better understanding of Wales and the Welsh.

This is a delightful book for browsing in, a book to be enjoyed both as bedside reading and as an excellent introduction to the literature of that most creative of countries. It has been expertly compiled by Meic Stephens, who presents here a generous selection of Welsh writing in translation which, although personal, is knowledgeable, finely balanced and authoritative.

A Century of Welsh Rugby Players

1880-1980

By Wayne Thomas, 1980

**My copy of this book was deposited with Glamorgan FHS in April 2022 (Gareth Hicks)

There is a Foreword by D E Wilson of Ansells Brewery Ltd who were associated with the Centenary of the Welsh Rugby Union and donated part of the sale proceeds of the book to the Union's Charitable Fund.

There is an introductory piece by Wilfred Wooller on the theme ' The Evolutionary Process of the 100 Years', here is his opening paragraph;

"Evolution and natural selection is a process by which this world has matured. The rugby game is equally subject to these laws of nature. It cannot stand still. It must evolve. The rugby code is fortunate in that its complicated structure of players and laws, allow various alternatives of development, not so the parent code from which it sprang, association football...."

The author's introduction explains how he selected the 100 players who have short biographical sketches in the book,

There is a Conclusion by Phil Bennett, here is his opening paragraph;

"Any rugby player is honoured by recognition, especially by one's own people, and we in Wales are deeply proud of our rugby heritage. To be included in a list of a century of rugby players is something special even though, at the same time, one must pay tribute to the other gallant six hundred who have worn the magical scarlet jersey with the Prince of Wales feathers emblem...."

There is an alphabetical list of Welsh internationals with their clubs and who they played against and when.

Also a list of the leading Welsh Cap holders as at 1980.

The biographical sketches are listed below by reference to the period in the game's development that the author has defined.

Each of the 100 players has a photograph included, here is a list of other photographs

A history of Wales 1815-1906

D Gareth Evans

Clearly a book of only 320 pages to cover such an extraordinarily convoluted period in Welsh history can do no more than scratch its surface, hence the importance of each chapter's comprehensive Suggested Reading section.

**My copy of this book was deposited with Glamorgan FHS in April 2022 (Gareth Hicks)

Back cover

A History of Wales 1815-1906 is the third volume of a trilogy on the history of Wales from 1485 to 1906.
It is the first major textbook on nineteenth-century Welsh history published in recent years.
Dr Evans's work examines the main industrial, social, political and cultural developments of this dynamic era.

"It would be difficult to exaggerate the scale of change in nineteenth-century Wales, and the consequent problems in structuring a book of this sort.
It is a tribute to the author that he has delineated and analysed that change carefully, comprehensively and cogently" ( Teaching History)

"A clear, comprehensive and thorough account of the period" (Albion)

D Gareth Evans was born in Alltwen, Pontardawe. He studied history at University College, Swansea where he gained his first degree in 1970 and his doctorate in 1978. Currently he holds the post of Principal Lecturer at Trinity College, Carmarthen. He is a fellow of the Royal Historical Society. Dr Evans was one of the contributors to Coleg Dewi a'r Fro and has written on the history of bilingual education in Wales.

Foreward

The enthusiastic welcome from all parts of the world which greeted previous editions of "Croeso Cymreig " has encouraged us to produce this further edition with several additional recipes and a section on home-made wines. It is not a collection of traditional Welsh recipes as such but an attempt to answer the many requests we receive for recipes which were popular in Wales during the last century and which can equally well be used and enjoyed today. Time and time again we are asked such questions as " Can you give me a recipe for .... ffest y cybydd .... teisen gri .... cockle pie ? my grandmother used to make it but never put her recipe on paper." Many of these requests come to us from Welsh people overseas and already thousands of copies of previous editions have been sent to all parts of the World - America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Egypt, Pakistan and countries in Europe. We know of several Welsh Societies overseas who have held Welsh tea parties and suppers using the recipes from this book.
In Wales itself we have found that hoteliers and caterers in particular have welcomed these recipes. They know that foreign visitors to Wales enjoy a good meal all the more when it has a traditional Welsh flavour. As for Welsh housewives they have always been noted for their hospitality and they more than anyone realise the importance of putting these old family recipes on paper to hand them safely on to the next generation. This was also emphasised by the interest which the general public took in the recent Welsh recipe competition organised by the " Western Mail." Some of the winning recipes are included in this edition and we acknowledge with thanks the co-operation and assistance given to us.
Whether it be in the home or the hotel, we hope that this book will further help in keeping a welcome that is indeed a Croeso Cymreig.

Summary

The history of medicine in Wales is a subject hitherto largely ignored by historians, beyond a spate of works on magic and folklore. As such, little is known about important factors such as the ways in which Welsh people understood and conceptualised illness and their bodies, medical beliefs and the spread of medical information, and also the important question of economics and the ‘medical marketplace’. This thesis provides a ‘missing half’ to Welsh medical history, by highlighting the extent which Wales was both exposed to, and participant in, wider national and international networks of information and trade.

The thesis is arranged thematically into three sections. Section One explores the types and spread of disease in Wales and also contains a detailed quantitative study of parish burial records. Section Two explores the important issue of the spread of medical knowledge into and around Wales, highlighting the growing importance of literacy, language and published medical texts. The final section addresses in detail questions of the sickness experiences of Welsh people and concepts of care, and highlights the often complex domestic and community structures of care and poor relief.

In sum, this work seeks to shed new light on Welsh medical history and stimulate new debates into this neglected area of medical historiography. More broadly, its concentration upon a unique geographical, linguistic and cultural area of the British Isles raises new questions about the potentially diverse individual medical histories of distinct regions, and the often complex relationships between centres and peripheries. It is thus hoped that this thesis will serve as a stimulus for new debates and approaches into rural medical histories in Britain and Europe.

This General Description of South Wales --- including population statistics for Brecknockshire, Cardiganshire, Carmarthenshire, Glamorgan, Pembrokeshire, and Radnorshire, with Monmouthshire excluded --- was extracted by Gareth Hicks with the kind permission of the publishers from the CD of the same title as the main heading.

SOUTH WALES.

THIS section of the Principality is bounded on the east by the counties of Monmouth, Hereford, and Salop; on the north by Montgomeryshire; and part of the river Dyvi, separating it from Merionethshire. It forms the most central of the three grand western promontories of South Britain; being separated from those of Devon and Cornwall, on the south-east, by the Bristol Channel ; and from the promontory of Lleyn, in Carnarvonshire, on the north-west, by that part of St. George's Channel called Cardigan Bay. In shape it is somewhat triangular, similar to that of North Wales ; having the land-mere on the east for its base, the sea-coasts of the two channels for its sides, and St. David's head, on the west, for its apex. The length of the land boundary, from the mouth of the Romney, near Cardiff, to the Kerry hills, on the confines of Montgomeryshire, and from thence to the sea, at the mouth of the Dyvi, is estimated at about one hundred and twenty miles; and its marine boundary from thence to St. David's-head, tracing the zig-zag windings of the coast, is about three hundred and fifty miles. Its area has been estimated at 3,860 square miles, or 2,470,400 acres; while other surveys have computed it as comprising 4,235 square miles, or 2,710,400 statute acres.

EARLY HISTORY.

The territory now included under the division ' South Wales,' though with some difference in its boundaries, &c. was anciently denominated Gwent and Dyved---subdivided into Upper and Lower Gwent, Morganwg, Esyllwg, and Seisyllwg or Garth Madryn, The Roman generals having subdued a large proportion of the population of England, first of all directed their forces to the conquest of the Britons, who inhabited South Wales ; but the celebrated Caractacus effectually defied these invaders for nine years before he was finally subdued. South Wales was subsequently invaded by the Saxons, the Normans and others, with various success; but the greatest settlement was made by the Normans ; the country was also a prey to its own intestine divisions for several ages, till the whole Principality came under the dominion of England. Near Cardigan, in the year 1136, the Welch, under the command of the Earl of Chester, obtained a complete victory over the English, who were so panic struck as to allow themselves to be taken prisoners by the women. Near Llandilo-fawr, a small town on the Towy river, was fought the last battle between the forces of Edward I and of Llewelyn, Prince of Wales, which proving decisive against the latter, put a final period to the independency of Wales. In the ancient castle of Cardiff after a cruel confinement of many years, inflicted by his brother Henry I, died Robert, the deposed Duke of Normandy, eldest son of William the Conqueror. At Milford Haven, the Earl of Richmond, afterwards Henry VII, landed on his enterprise against Richard III. In the year 1535 Henry VIII passed an act relative to the counties of Wales generally, and the marches between England and Wales---the particulars of which are given in the account of North Wales.

SOIL and CLIMATE, PRODUCE and MANUFACTURES.

The county of Brecknock is one of the most mountainous of Wales, and the Vann or Brecknock Beacon, is one of the loftiest mountains. The land declines towards the banks of the Wye, where it is tolerably fertile, as it is also in the valleys which are watered by innumerable rills. Although mountainous, provisions are exceedingly good and plentiful all over the county, and from its hills large droves of black cattle are annually sent to all the fairs of the neighbouring counties. Cardiganshire is in high estimation for the growth of barley, of which much is sent to the adjacent counties for seed. The northern and eastern parts of this county are mountainous and barren, yet afford pasture for numerous sheep; in the narrow vales large herds of black cattle are grazed, and much butter and cheese produced. Some of the mountains of Cardigan contain lead and other minerals, but coal and other fuel are scarce. The general surface of Carmarthenshire is hilly; and in the north and east parts the hills rise into mountains. The vales are for the most part narrow---that of Towy is the principal of the level tracks; it abounds in picturesque beauties, which, from the celebrated Grongar Hill, and the site of Dynevor Castle, afford the richest prospects. Barley and oats are the chief crops of this county; its rivers abound with fish; the breed of cattle is here excellent; and butter is made in considerable quantities for exportation. At one period the county was well wooded, but great waste has been made of the timber. Coal and limestone are plentiful in many parts ; and there are mines of lead and iron. The north part of Glamorganshire is very mountainous, barren, and thinly inhabited, its surface serving chiefly for the feeding of cattle and sheep. Various rivers have their rise in this portion, which run south through vales gradually expanding, so as to form a middle district, fit for cultivation, and well clothed with wood, at length terminating in the great level or vale of Glamorgan, a fertile track of corn and pasture land, extending along the sea coast for eight or ten miles inland, and well furnished with mineral treasures of coal, lead, iron and limestone. The soil of Pembrokeshire varies considerably, including the extremes of good and bad, with all the intermediate gradations; its surface is in general hilly, but not mountainous, and rendered fruitful by its numerous streams. The north-east portion is the mountainous track, affording good pasturage to flocks of sheep. This part of the county also abounds in coal, and its coasts with iron-stone. The soil of the northern and western parts of Radnorshire is but indifferent, abounding in rocks and mountains, which are traversed by many sheep. The South and easts parts are more level, and being under some degree of cultivation, produce good corn. The woods and hills throughout this county are celebrated for game. Thus it will be seen that the mineral treasures of South Wales are various and important, and its agricultural produce by no means inconsiderable. In manufactures, perhaps, it does not take an eminent station; the principal seat of the flannel trade is Carmarthen ; and glove making, currying, tanning, and malting, are carried on in several other towns. The CLIMATE of this portion of the Principality is exceedingly various: on some parts of the coast great humidity prevails ; and on the mountains the air is piercing, the valleys being warm and genial. The climate of South Wales, may, upon the whole, be reckoned salubrious.

RIVERS, CANALS and RAILWAYS.

The navigable rivers of South Wales are not numerous: of these the most important is Milford Haven, composed of two rivers called the Cleddau---one of which rises near Fishguard, and runs to Haverfordwest, where it becomes navigable; the other rises in the Pencelli mountains, and, for some space, is the boundary of the counties of Carmarthen and Pembroke. The other rivers are the Dyvi, which rises in Merionethshire ; the Taaff (Little and Great), springing out of the most elevated mountains in this district; the Elai, a tributary stream to the harbour of Penarth ; the celebrated Wye, which rises in Radnorshire ; and the Usk, in Brecknockshire. Over the river Taaff, , not far from Llantrissaint, is the celebrated stone bridge, called' Pont-y-tr-Pridd,' of a single arch, one hundred and forty feet in the span, and thirty-four high it was planned and executed by the untaught genius of a common mason of the name of Edwards, a native of the county of Glamorgan. There are many other smaller rivers, streams and lakes in this part of Wales, of minor importance to commerce, but highly beneficial to husbandry, and imparting beauty to the scenery through which they glide.---The CANALS of South Wales are owing entirely to its productive mines of coal and iron; and within a period of about thirty years, upwards of one hundred and twenty miles of this kind of navigation have been completed. They consist of the Kidwelly and Cremlin canals; the Monmouth, the Brecon and Abergavenny, the Swansea and Neath, the Aberdare, and the Penclawdd and Llanelly---all of great commercial use. The Taaff Vale RAILWAY passes between Cardiff and Merthyr Tydvil, by way of Llandaff, Pentyrch, Taaff's Well, Newbridge Navigation House and Twedyrhiw. There are various rail or train roads connected with the different mines and works in South Wales, but they are not adapted to the accomodation of passengers as the Taaff Vale line is.

ECCLESIASTICAL and CIVIL DIVISIONS and REPRESENTATON

The division of South Wales comprehends the counties of BRECON (or Brecknock), CARDIGAN, CARMARTHEN, GLAMORGAN, PEMBROKE, and RADNOR. BRECON is divided into six hundreds, containing fifty-nine parishes, one county town, and four market towns. Cardigan comprises five hundreds, containing seventy-seven parishes, one county town, and four market towns. Carmarthen contains eight hundreds, having eighty-seven parishes, one county town, and six market towns. Glamorgan includes ten hundreds, containing one hundred and eight parishes, one county town, and eight market towns. Pembroke extends over seven hundreds, containing forty-five parishes, one city (St. David's), one county town, and nine market towns. Radnor comprises six hundreds, containing fiftytwo parishes, one county town, and four market towns. The whole are included in the province of Canterbury. The counties of Cardigan, Carmarthen, Glamorgan, and Pembroke, are in the diocess of St. David; Brecon in that of Llandaff; and Radnor, partly in Hereford diocess and partly in St. David's. South Wales is represented by seventeen members, in the imperial parliament; which are thus distributed.---The counties (With the exception of Carmarthen and Glamorgan, which send two), return one member each ; and the boroughs of BRECON, CARDIGAN, CARMARTHEN, CARDIFF, SWANSEA, MERTHYR TYDVIL, PEMBROKE, HAVERFORDWEST, and RADNOR one each. The several places sharing in the election of representatives for the boroughs will be found named in the descriptive account of each town.

POPULATION.

The annual value of Real Property, as assessed in South Wales, in 1815, amounted to £1,219,381., and in 1841, to £1,531,424: at the last named period the value of land was £1,131,780.

Introduction

Copied from the book's rear cover.

"Through the heart of Wales run innumerable centuries-old tracks --- many still traceable and open. They are the Drovers' Roads. For hundreds of years --- from the Middle Ages to the victory of the railways around 1900 --- they were trodden by tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and even geese being driven --- at an average of 2 mph --- to the markets of London. The drovers --- many of them now Welsh folk legends --- avoiding the main roads, walked their flocks through villages, lively market towns, sometimes following Roman and even earlier highways, passing ancient sites and megaliths and through some of the most dramatic landscapes of Wales.

This is a guide book through space and time. It will help the reader find, follow and appreciate some of the best of these old highways. Shirley Toulson re-creates the world of the drovers, its farms, its markets, its inns, its dangers, its economics. Fay Godwin follows her well-known photographs of the Ridgeway with an equally arresting vision of the Welsh landscape through the seasons, and in many moods..................."

Introduction

From the book's dust jacket;

For three centuries, from the growth of London and the other great cities at the end of the sixteenth century until about a hundred years ago, the beef to feed the British town-dweller was brought to him on the hoof.

This was a vast operation and, at its peak, more than 2000 animals were being driven through the streets of London to market every day.

This book tells of the life of the drovers who brought the cattle and the sheep hundreds of miles, often along ancient grassy drove roads, how they lived, what sort of men they were, how they made their money, the kinds of cattle - also sheep, geese, turkeys, pigs and donkeys - that they drove.

Quotations from other sources relating to Welsh drovers

These quotations appear in this book but are from other sources.

Wild Wales. George Borrow, 1862

This relates to Borrow's stay at an inn near Llanfair (Anglesey) when he met Mr Bos, a drover.

He was a man seemingly about forty years of age with a broad red face, with certain somethings looking very much like incipient carbuncles, here and there upon it. His eyes were grey and looked rather as if they squinted; his mouth was very wide, and when it was opened displayed a set of strong, white, uneven teeth. He was dressed in a pepper-and-salt coat of the Newmarket cut, breeches of corduroy and brown top boots, and had on his head a broad, black, coarse, low-crowned hat. In his left hand he held a heavy whale-bone whip with a brass head.

Borrow describing the market at Wrexham, the Northern Gateway of Wales.

There were some Welsh cattle, small of course, and the purchasers of these seemed to be Englishmen, tall, burly, fellows in general, far exceeding the Welsh in height and size ... Now and then a big fellow made an offer and held out his hand for the little Pictish grazier to give it a slap - a cattle bargain being concluded by a slap of the hand.

Twm o'r Nant (Thomas Edwards, bard

He wrote in 1875 in 'Cerdd Y Celfyddydau' ( Wales and the Drover by P.G Hughes 1943)

The old drover sleeps, his term completed;
Throughout his wasted life he cheated.
His world is now a narrow bed -
Fie ! Let him cheat there instead.

Journal of a Tour through North Wales and Part of Shropshire, 1797 by A Aikin.

This quotation relates to Aikin's journey between Amlwch and Bangor.

it fortunately happened that several herds of black cattle that had been reared in Anglesey were then crossing the strait, on their road to Abergelly fair, where they are bought up by drovers and disposed of at Barnet fair to the farmers in the neighbourhood, who fatten them for the London market. We were much amused with seeing a large herd driven over. They are urged in a body by loud shouting and blows into the water, and as they swim well and fast, usually make their way for the opposite shore. The whole troop proceeds pretty regularly till it arrives within an hundred and fifty yards of the landing place, where, meeting with a very rapid current formed by the tide, eddying and rushing with great violence between the rocks that encroach far into the channel, the herd is thrown into the utmost confusion. Some of the boldest and strongest push directly across and presently reach the land; the more timorous immediately turn round and endeavour to gain the place from which they set off; but the greater part, borne down by the force of the stream, are carried towards Beaumaris bay and frequently float to a great distance before they are able to reach the Caernarvonshire shore. To prevent accidents a number of boats well manned attend, who row after the stragglers to force them to join the main body; and if they are very obstinate, the boatmen throw ropes about their horns, and fairly tow them to the shore, which resounds with the loud bellowing of those that are landed and are shaking their wet sides. Notwithstanding the great number of cattle that annually pass the strait, an instance seldom, if ever, occurs, of any being lost, though they are frequently carried to the very entrance of the Menai in Beaumaris bay.

Rural Economy of Southern Counties, W Marshall, 1798

Maidstone and Romney Marsh in Kent were important destinations for Welsh drovers, as Marshall wrote

no district in the Island, perhaps of equal extent and fertility, breeds fewer cattle.... Its entire stock, may, with little licence, be said to be Welch, or of Welch origin; although it is situated at an extreme point of the Island, some hundred miles distant from the source of the breed .... The Welch cattle are mostly brought in, by drovers of Wales, while young; as one, two, or three years old. They are bred in different parts of the principality. But the Heifers, which are brought in for milk, are mostly of the Pembrokeshire mould ... several thousands, of different description, are annually brought into the country. In the month of October, the roads are everywhere full of them; some going to the upland districts, others to the marshes.

The Itinerary of Archbishop Baldwin through Wales

By Giraldus Cambrensis; Everyman reprint 1919 (1st Everyman ed. 1908)

The text is that of Sir Richard Colt Hoare who published an English translation from the original Latin, chiefly from the texts of Camden and Wharton in 1806.

There follows two extracts from the books' introduction together with a listing of chapter headings for each book

Introduction

Two paragraphs from the Introduction by W Llewelyn Williams;

"Gerald the Welshman---Giraldus Cambrensis---was born, probably in 1147, at Manorbier Castle in the county of Pembroke. His father was a Norman noble, William de Barri, who took his name from the little island of Barry off the coast of Glamorgan. His mother, Angharad, was the daughter of Gerald de Windsor by his wife, the famous Princess Nesta, the ' Helen of Wales', and the daughter of Rhys ap Tewdwr Mawr, the last independent Prince of South Wales.............."

"..........(in the Itinerary and Description of Wales........here he is impartial in his evidence, and judicial in his decisions. If he errs at all it is not through racial prejudice. " I am sprung" he once told the Pope in a letter, " from the Princes of Wales and from the barons of the Marches, and when I see injustice in either race, I hate it."

Review

Llanerch publishers have reprinted many books of Welsh interest over the years and Iorwerth Peate became the first curator of the Welsh Folk Museum (now the Museum of Welsh Life) at St Ffagans.The early editions of this book have been long out of print and second-hand copies much sought after. Despite its age and the amount of modern research undertaken since, it is still a useful and interesting book.

All our Welsh ancestors must have lived in houses as described in this fascinating and well-researched book. Plenty of diagrams, plans, old photographs and a very readable text. There is an index to the houses and sites mentioned as well as a general index and extensive bibliography. Those of you who have been fortunate to have visited St Ffagans will recognise the types of houses described here as there are chapters on the circular house, the long-house, the cottage and stone and half-timbered houses. Some of these houses, my own included, were just as Iorwerth Peate described them right up until a couple of years ago. As I drive around the quiet, lonely, lanes of this part of Carmarthenshire and north Pembrokeshire there are still deserted old cottages, sometimes with remains of thatch under the rotting corrugated roof, abandoned to the elements, and you wonder about the history of the families who once lived there.

I can really recommend this book as background material to your own Welsh family history.

Introduction

From the book's dust jacket

London is home to the oldest and largest Welsh community outside Wales.
From the accession of Henry Tudor the numbers of Welsh men and women living in London increased steadily.
Many of the early arrivals were not permanent residents: drovers and weeders were seasonal workers and the top echelons of society divided their time between their estates and their townhouses.
By the mid-eighteenth century London was something of a mecca for Welsh writers and antiquaries.
This was the period that saw the establishment of the Cymmrodorion and the Gwyneddigion and the first meeting of Gorsedd Beirdd Ynys Prydain.
The middle of the nineteenth century saw another surge towards London. This was the age of the dairymen and drapers and the rise of the chapel as a focus for Welsh life in London.
During the Depression there was another massive influx as Welsh shopworkers, industrial workers and domestic servants sought work in the metropolis, and the flow of Welsh teachers to London became even more noticeable in the 1950s.
Emigration from Wales continues today but on a reduced scale.
It is estimated that some 70,000 Welsh-born now live in London.
This is the human story of the London Welsh, with its focus on the comings and goings of ordinary men and women, their cultural and social life, as well as the contribution of some outstanding individuals.

Quotations

1. Welsh girls played a major role in London market gardens doing such tasks as hoeing, weeding and picking - which caused Daniel Evans, a Teifi man, to write;

O na bawn i fel colomen
Ar ben St Paul's ynghanol Llundain;
I gael gweled merched Cymru
Ar eu gliniau'n chwynnu'r gerddi

(I wish I were a dove on St Paul's in London; to see the Welsh girls on their knees weeding the gardens)

2. Anonymous lines relating to the lack of work for young women in rural Cardiganshire;

Mi af i Lundain Glame
Os byddaf byw ac iach
Arhosa i ddim yng Nghymru
I ddori 'nghalon fach

(I'll go to London come Lamas if I'm alive and well; I won't stay in Wales to break my heart)

3. George Scharfe's London by Peter Jackson, 1987 has an early reference to Welsh milkmaids;

In 1818 milkmen were a rarity; a far more common sight in the London's streets was the ubiquitous milk-maid. A contemporary writer gives a graphic description of the hard life they led;
"The milk is conveyed from the cowhouse in tin pails, which are principally carried by strong, robust Welsh girls, but a considerable number of Irish are also employed for this purpose. These are the same that retail the milk in the streets of the metropolis, and it is amazing to witness the labour and fatigue these females will undergo, and the hilarity and cheerfulness that prevails among them, and which tends, in a surprising manner to lighten their laborious employment ... The weight they are accustomed to carry on their yokes, for example, for a distance of two or three miles is sometimes from 100 to 130 lbs. By mid-day they had returned to the cowkeepers for more milk, after which they were back on the street until six o'clock. For this they were paid nine shillings a week with breakfast thrown in."
The milk-maid often had a regular round of customers, or 'milk walk'. . . Some were itinerants who 'cried their milk' looking for casual buyers. Their cry of 'milk below' became corrupted to 'mio' which some would interpret as 'mi-eau' - half water, a reference to the fact that it was common practice to dilute the milk.

4. Part of a letter written by a preacher called Robert Hughes in 1830 and quoted in Y Ddinas Gadarn : Hanes Eglwys Jewin by Gomer M Roberts in 1974 - another early reference to the milk trade ;

Cynulleidfa o foneddigion ... Ond yr oedd un yn tynnu fy sylw yn fwy na phawb arall - gwr boneddigaidd yr olwg, tua phump a deugain, yn eistedd tu ol i'r cloc, ar ffrynt y gallery. Tybiwn ei fod yn un o'r East India Company; ond fe'm siomwyd yn fawr wrth fynd i'r Cambrian i'r ysgol brynhawn Sul; pwy a welwn yng nghanol y ddinas, a ffedog las ar ei liniau, a'r piser llefrith yn ei law, yn rhoi cnoc ar y drws ac yn gweiddi 'Milk', ond y gwr bonheddig mawr yn ol fy nychymyg i am dano o'r blaen.

(a congregation of gentlemen ... But one drew my attention above all others, a man of gentlemanly appearance, about forty-five, sitting behind the clock in the front of the gallery. I thought he must be one of the East India Company; but I was greatly disappointed as I went to the Cambrian, to the Sunday School; who did I see in the centre of the city, with a blue apron to his knees and a pitcher of milk in his hand, knocking on doors and shouting 'Milk', but, in my imagination, the great gentleman I had seen before.)

5. Life and Labour of the Poor on London, Second Series, Industries III, by C Booth, 1903.

Throughout the London milk trade generally the proportion of Welsh masters is very large ... Common report and our own observations lead us to suppose that they number considerably more than 50% of the trade ... they alone among the inhabitants of the United Kingdom can make cowkeeping in London pay; or rather perhaps they alone are content to accept the conditions under which the cowkeeper lives and is forced to work in order to make a living. They are for the most part poorly educated; they speak English very imperfectly ... They are thrifty and self-denying, live in rough surroundings, work exceedingly hard for abnormally long hours and with very small return.

6. Welsh National Bazaar in Aid of the London C M Churches, 1912

The Welsh churches in London have a long and interesting history, and in their growth and development is seen the history of the London Welsh Community. Established originally to provide a religious service in Welsh for many to whom the English language was strange, they have, in the course of the years, not only increased in size and numbers, but have widely extended the field of their activities. They are primarily religious institutions and no estimate is possible of the work done in this one channel, but concurrently with their purely religious functions, the Churches have also done an immense amount of work of a social and national character. They have provided for the young man and young woman coming to London from Wales something more than the shadow of a home, for they furnish a Society which in its standards of life and conduct has much in common with the village life of Wales, thus forming a link with earlier conditions of life which makes it difficult for youth to rush headlong into the dangers rife in large towns. The particular mission of the Welsh Churches in London is, to safeguard the moral character and to deepen the spiritual experience of the hundreds of young people entrusted to their care year after year by the parents of Wales. This trust involving much labour, sacrifice and love willingly rendered has never been betrayed.

7. The Fyrst Boke of the Introduction of Knowledge. A Boorde, 1547.

Said to be the very first published book referring to the Welsh;

I am a gentylman, and come of Brutes blood,
My name is ap Ryce ap Davy ap Flood,
I love our Lady, for I am of hyr kynne,
He that doth not love hyr, I be-shrew his chynne

Turner in Wales

By Andrew Wilton

This book was published by the Mostyn Art Gallery in 1984 as an essay and catalogue relating to the 'Turner in Wales' Project.

I quote;

" ...........the project is in many ways the culmination of a series of important exhibitions undertaken by the Gallery which have revealed the wealth of arts and crafts produced in Wales, past and present............"

This page on Genuki is simply a listing of the watercolours and drawings that are actually reproduced in the book
The description title lines (including ?s) are as in the book, with the relevant page number, the entries are in the same order as in the book

Introduction (first paragraph only)

As an inspiration for his art, Wales belongs very much to the first ten years of Turner's career, the decade from 1790, when he first showed a watercolour at the Royal Academy, to 1800 when, having already been elected a very young Associate of that Institution, he was on the threshold of Full Academicianship. He visited Wales five times in eight years: with the except of a brief excursion along the Dee to Corwen in 1808 he never went there again. He was to draw on these early tours occasionally in later life - notably for a group of sixteen subjects in the long series of Picturesque Views In England and Wales that he produced in the 1820s and 30s.

But in the great mass of his output from 1800 onwards Welsh subjects are rare, a state of affairs that contrasts startingly with the wealth of Cambrian drawings, watercolours and oil paintings of the 1790s. These are works of a richness and vitality, a readiness of inspiration and a fecundity of technical invention, that rival those of any other period of his life, and they must count among the most intent of all romantic landscapes............................

Introduction

From the compiler's introduction;

".............'Assembling the material proved to be a fascinating task: and......I have examined thousands of photographs and original plates'

The final selection, as a glance through the pictures will show, concentrate especially on the human element. The whole of Wales is representatively covered, but there is a particular emphasis on bygone customes, costumes and activities. The total effect is to recreate in an uncanny way a past which is at the same time recent , and infinitely remote."

The Welsh Drovers in England
Epilogue

Introduction from the book's dust jacket .

"In this book an attempt is made not only to piece together from many scattered sources various aspects of the Welsh cattle trade, but also to illustrate the vital role of the drovers in the cultural , intellectual and social life of Wales. The book does not claim to be a comprehensive history of droving between Wales and England and although one chapter deals with evolution of the cattle trade most of the remaining pages are concerned with the trade in the C19 for which relatively abundant sources material is available. Particular attention is given to the "mechanics" of droving , the finances and general conducting of the trade. Inevitably the financial success or failure of cattle dealing was inextricably linked with the fortunes of the Welsh farmer who raised the store cattle which were eventually sold to the grazier of the Midland Plains or the stall and yard feeders of the Eastern Counties of England. Accordingly Dr Colyer includes chapters discussing both the wide range of cattle types available to the drovers and the technical and financial aspects of cattle production in C19 Wales.

Although the gradual development of the Welsh railway system precipitated changes in the distribution of country fairs and markets , the railways per se did not bring about the wholesale abandonment of the " art and mystery" of droving. Indeed, in many instances, droving to England continued well into the loosely defined "railway period". Thus many of the ancient drovers' routes described in the book were still used for their original purpose within living memory. Moreover, the motorised heirs of the thousand year old droving tradition still visit the markets of the Midland counties selling the black cattle which for so many centuries were Wales' most important " export". "

Introduction

This is a substantial part of the introductory remarks on the book's dust jacket.

'The industrialisation of Wales came late and as a consequence Welsh craftsmen, based as they were on a rural community, have a long unbroken tradition which has often continued into the present day. The coracles of the Wye, for example, are certainlly prehistoric in origin yet they still continue to be made and used today.

In this book Mary Eirwen Jones describes the whole range of Welsh crafts, their origins, techniques, survival, and in some cases their recent revival. Some of them have specially close associations with Wales; quilting, slate memorial stones, spelk baskets, Pontypool Ware, Nantgarw china. Others are the traditional crafts of the weaver, the smith, the miller, the thatcher and the furniture maker which have been common to all agricultural societies. A third category of craft-workers is also considered by Miss Jones, of men and women who have introduced and successfully pursued a fresh activity hithertoo unknown in the Principality; the Cistercian monks with their perfume manufactory on Caldey Island are one famous such innovation, while a more recent one is glass-blowing at Saundersfoot..........'

The Life and Times of Edward Higgins, a Gentleman of the Road

The perpetrator: #James Nash, labourer, Greyhound St, Swansea; he was hanged at Swansea Prison in Feb 1886 with almost 4000 people gathered outside .

#A pertinent comment from W Glamorgan Archives November 2001
"The book Welsh Murders Vol 1 is mistaken in describing the murderer as William Nash. The correct name is Thomas Nash, executed 1 March 1886. The full story is rehearsed in ' For whom the bell tolls' by Peter Goodall (Gomer Press, 2001), still in print "

Llyfryddiaeth Cylchgronau Cymreig (A Bibliography of Welsh Periodicals 1851 - 1900)

Llyfryddiaeth Cylchgronau Cymreig (A Bibliography of Welsh Periodicals 1735 - 1850)

The "bible" on this subject is by Dr Huw Walters, called Llyfryddiaeth Cylchgronau Cymreig (A Bibliography of Welsh Periodicals 1735 - 1850) NLW, 1993 . This contains detailed descriptions of the 195 titles which were published within that period, including lists of editors, publishers, printers, place of publication, place of printing etc.

In 1987 the conference of the Research Society for Victorian Periodicals was held at the NLW and the opportunity was taken to stage an exhibition on the Welsh Periodical Press 1735-1900. A 47 page booklet was produced to describe the exhibition . Both books are still available for purchase from the NLW.

Huw Walters has provided this introductory commentary below about the main book and his ongoing work on extending the period covered to 1900;

"Welsh periodicals contain a wealth of information on all aspects of nineteenth century life.

In fact, the Welsh denominational monthlies were the main sources for both local and national news before the tax on advertisements and the stamp duty on newspaper copies were abolished in 1853 and 1855.

The majority of the periodicals listed in the #Bibliography# were denominational and had a tremendous influence on Welsh religious and political life. #Y Diwygiwr# published by David Rees at Llanelli was regarded as one of the most radical and influential publications of the century.

They are also particularly useful to family historians as they published obituary notices, biographies etc. The most important are the following:

Seren Gomer (Baptist)

Y Bedyddiwr (Baptist)

Greal y Bedyddwyr (Baptist)

Y Diwygiwr (Congregationalist)

Y Dysgedydd (Congregationalist)

Cronicl y Cymdeithasau Crefyddol (Congregationalist)

Y Drysorfa Gynnulleidfaol (Congregationalist)

Y Drysorfa (Methodist)

Goleuad Cymru (Methodist)

There are many others of course, which are listed in the Bibliography;

Take #Lleuad yr Oes# and #Yr Efangylydd# for example. Both published by the Rees family of Tonn, Llanymddyfri and edited by that strange eccentric David Owen (Brutus), -who later became editor of #Yr Haul# the monthly organ of the Established Church in Wales. Both #Lleuad yr Oes# and #Yr Efangylydd# contain a wealth of information on the north Carmarthenshire area around Llangadog, Llandeilo Fawr and Llanymddyfri.

#Y Diwygiwr# as can be expected is partcularly strong on the Llanelli area, and when it was edited by Watkin Hezekiah Williams (the hymnist Watcyn Wyn) in the late 1890s and early 1900s it published a great deal of material on the Brynaman and Aman Valley areas.

#Y Bedyddiwr# served the mining areas of Gwent - the Rhymni Valley, Caerffili areas, - and provides a wealth of information on these districts.

The Welsh-American periodicals, of which there were very many likewise published obituary notices and biographies. The main ones are:

Y Cyfaill o'r Hen Wlad yn America (Methodist)

Y Beread (Baptist)

Y Seren Orllewinol (Baptist)

Y Cenhadwr Americanaidd (Congregationalist)

The second volume on which I am currently working (1851-1900) lists many hundreds of other titles published in Wales and abroad. But I've had to deal with several problems with regard to local magazines such as parish, church and chapel publications, as so many of these have not survived.I know that the next volume of the work will be incomplete, but it will be the first ever listing of this kind of material."

Review

This volume brings to completion the massive work undertaken by Dr Huw Walters of preparing a bibliography of all periodicals, Welsh and English, published in Wales and elsewhere from the middle of the eighteenth century to the end of the nineteenth, of which the first volume, A Bibliography of Welsh Periodicals 1735-1850, was published in 1993. Users of that remarkable work of reference will recall how meticulously the 154 items therein are described, their editors, publishers, printers and places of publication set out, with many other details of great interest and importance to historians and literary scholars. An outstanding feature of the volume was the provision of indexes of editors and authors, printers, and places of publication. These invaluable features have been retained in the present volume but with the addition of a comprehensive chronological list of all the publications.

As the present reviewer can testify, fifty years ago very few students of Welsh culture regarded Welsh periodical literature as a prime source for their studies. You could pick them up in Ralph's bookshop in Swansea for 5p or even less. Since then, historians have come to value them as essential sources, and Huw Walters's volume will be widely welcomed, though as Dr Walters points out, it is wise to be prudent as to their limitations. Students of religious developments can luxuriate in the riches of the magazines owned by the various denominations, large and small, and students of literature in the more secular, critical magazines, such as Y Traethodydd (1845) and Yr Adolygydd (1838). Political affairs did not become a major concern with the mainly religious magazines until fairly late on in the century, when the political system itself had become more democratic, with many more new periodicals specifically concerned with shaping public opinion. In fact, the periodical press reflected and catered for all the diverse interests of an increasingly literate population, and interest groups and movements, both nationally and locally, all had their share in the amazing efflorescence of publishing which characterised the last decades of the century. The 577 titles in this volume are testimony enough to the vast growth of a reading public and the ever widening interests of the people of Wales and of Welsh people in England and the wider world.

The National Library is to be congratulated on the publication of this splendid volume, and all students of Welsh culture will be grateful to Dr Walters for providing this key and guide to the treasures of the periodical literature of Wales.
