k h T he Quakers of Pem b ro es i re .

B Y DAVID SALMON .

1 6 Ab out 47 George Fox , after three or four years of con ﬂict mental and spiritual , evolved a system of doctrines Oi that satisﬁed his mind and soul . the system as a whole I not do propose to speak b ut I must speak of those doctrines that exposed be1 1 evers to persecution or k ridicule , because some nowledge of them is essential k to a full understanding of Qua er history . 1 — H e ( ) held that , while the ministry was open to b i b oth sexes , no one ought to ecome a m nister without 1 ven W an inward ca 1 . E ith this call no one had a right to assume the exclusive exercise ’ of the ministry in any ‘ congregation of Christians ’ and the ‘ ministry b eing , if rightly received , received freely , ought to n o r b e freely communicated , and further suppo t expected b y ministers than What is authorised by Christ and ’1 k practised by his apostles . Hence Qua ers had a double objection to supporting the ministers of the Established ff Church , and would su er distraint (often extortionate) , t imprisonment , and excommunica ion rather than pay

tithes or Easter offerings . (2) — They obeyed literally and a b solutely the command ’ Swear not at all . They not only refrained from the — use of coarse , profane , or blasphemous language they would not take the oaths required by law even for the

protection of their own legal rights . Though the most

b unresisting of su j ects , they would not swear allegiance to the kin g ; and though ready to perform the duties of any m un cip al ofﬁce they would not qualify by being ’ sworn in . (3 ) — They were opposed to war and everyt hing that it ul implies . They wo d not serve or provide a substitute

when drawn for the army , and they would not contribute k in any form towards its up eep . (4) — They woul d not remove their hats as a mark of b e respect to man , considering the baring of the head to a token of reverence enj oin ed and used only in their

solemn approaches to the Supreme Being , when exercising ’ the religious duties of preaching or prayer . They did not consider social duties as beneath their attention or

regard , but they held that true civility and due respect ’1 may be better shown by conduct than by complim ent . The people who held these peculiar beliefs were exposed

to cruel and persistent persecution for nearly forty years . For a much longer period they were exposed by certain

other pecul iarities to the ridicule of the unthin king .

Thus their clothes , while notably neat and good , were ﬁrst from the very plain , and gradually became anti W quated . And they had sundry oddities of speech . hen addressin g a single person they did not use the customary plural pronouns ; nor woul d they use the customary

Mr . Mr . s St complimentary titles , such as , , Miss , or they called the days of the week and the months of the year by their numbers instead of by their customary heathen names the Established Church was the nation ’ ’ l - a worship , its buildings steeple houses , and its clergy ’ priests , etc . On e of the most remarkable things in the history of k this remar able people is the rapidity of their spread , not S onl y through England and Wales , but to cotland and

Ireland , and even to the American colonies and the 1 6 k : West Indies . In 47 Fox was the only Qua er in

1 M . . 1 1 . , p 5 r eshi re The Qua kers of Pem b ok . 3

1 66 1 00 k — there were 42 Qua ers not in the country , but in prison These were mostly men . Assuming as many b men to be at large , we may reasona ly estimate the men , women , and children together at to

(out of a population of five millions) . Twenty years later there were probably to The rapidity of growth is all the more remarkable as the converts generally came , not from the careless , the wordl — y , or the ir religious , but from a far smaller class fin d the deeply devout , who , having failed to satisfaction in the older creeds , were willing to try a new one . For a whole century the nation had been distracted by religious and political con fli cts— between Protestants and

Catholics , between orthodox Churchmen and Puritans , or between Presbyterians and Independents— con ﬂicts in which religion embittered the politics and politics in fected the religion , so that gentle souls were yearning for l peace , whi e pious souls burdened with the formality

- superstition , and will worship prevalent around them were ready to welcome a mode of waiting upon God in ’ a holy silence and awful humility , whereby they might ’1 draw nigh unto Him in true spiritual worship . One reason why the new faith spread so rapidly was that it had for missionaries men and women as n ﬁrst zealous , as eager to dare and willi g to die , as the apostles of Christianity . George Fox himself (who set the example) was for more than forty years seldom stationary except when he was i n p rl son like Paul he ’ in was in j ourneyings often , in perils manifold , weariness ul and painf ness , in watchings , in hunger , and in thirst . H e H e compassed land and sea to gain proselytes . travelled twice through Holl and and Germany he k undertoo one voyage to the American Colonies , and another to the West Indies and the list of places which he visited (often several times) in the British Isles in e ludes about thirteen hundred names .

1 f Alexander Ja fray . The ua ers o P em b rokeshi re 4 Q k f .

The ardour of the missionar ies was aided enor m ousl y by the blameless conduct of the converts , which shed around them t In the common s rife, Or mild concerns of ordinary life, i n fl uen ce A constant , a peculiar grace . Persons who rejected their creeds and smiled at their pecul iarities were forced to admire their sincerity and k their integrity . Refusing to ta e an oath they were so careful of their language that their simple assertion could be trusted as con fiden tly as the sworn testimony of other men ; their words were bonds , their hearts ’1 as far from fraud as heaven from earth . Oi all the forces that concurred in the spread of the new beliefs perhaps the most powerful was the in fi ite persecution of the believers . With n labour George

Besse , towards the middle of the eighteenth century , compiled A Collection o f the Sufferings of the people k called Qua ers , for the testimony of a good conscience , from the time of their being first distinguished by that 1 6 0 name in the year 5 , to the time of the Act , commonly called the Act of Toleration , granted to Protestant Dissenters in the fir st year of the reign of King William the Third and Queen Mary , in the year (London , The names of the sufferers with the particulars of their sufferings (both necessaril y illustrative rather than exhaustive) fill over thirteen hundred folio pages Wales ul alone , notwithstanding its small area and pop ation , five had nearly hundred heroes on its roll of honour .

1 hi T s was the secret of their success , when , after the storm of

. L persecution had blown over , they settled down to business The loyds , G the Bevans , the urneys , and the Barclays prospered as bankers because everybody knew that they could be trusted with money ; r P er ki n s es the Hanbu ys , the Buxtons , the Barclays , and the prospered as brewers , because everybody knew that they made honest beer ; l the Howards , the Allens , the Hanburys , and the Bel s prospered as chemists , because everybody knew that they made or sold pure drugs . ll Many more i ustrations might be given , for there were few depart of ments trade , commerce , or industry in which Quakers were not leaders . The ua ke s o b k shi r Q r f Pem ro e e. 5

The meekness and constancy with which they bore undeserved punishment may perhaps be paralleled , but

I believe that their generosity to each other is unparalleled . It was common for a Friend at large to offer himself as b 1 6 u su stitute for one in bonds , and in 59 a h ndred and

- sixty four of them collectively addressed Parliament , oﬁerin g their own bodies , person for person , to lie in prison in stead of such of their brethren as were then con ﬁn em en t under , and might be in danger of their ’ lives through extreme durance . How could such deeds fail to call forth sympathy ? And sympathy with the sufferers easil y led to a conviction that the faith for which they were willing to suffer must b e true . It is more than a coincidence that when persecution ceased the numbers declined .

I I c l . nl 1 1 . . O y one law , 3 and 4 Car , was aimed k directly at the Qua ers . The necessity of it was stated in the preamble

Whereas of late times certain persons under the names of Quakers , and other names of separation, have taken up and maintained sundry dangerous opinions and tenets , and (among others) that the taking of an oath in any case whatsoever, although before a lawful magistrate , is altogether unlawful and contrary to the Word of God And the said persons do daily refuse to take an oath , though lawfully tendered , whereby it often happens that truth is wholly suppressed , and the administration of Justice much obstructed ; And whereas the sa id d o persons, under a pretense of religious worship , often assemble t themselves in great numbers in several parts of the realm , to the grea i to endangering of the publ ck peace and safety , and the terror of the people , by maintaining a secret and strict correspondence among themselves , and in the meantime separating and dividing themselves ’ from the rest of His Majesty s good and loyal subjects, and from the of publick congregations and usual places divine worship .

1 m It was , therefore , enacted that anyone who ( ) ain the unlawfulness of taking or wilfully and obstinately refused to take an oath ; or (2 ) assemb led with others to the number of ﬁve or more of the age of sixteen years or upwards at any one time in any place under pretence of j oining in a religious worship not authorised 6 The uakers o em b r okeshi re Q f P .

’ by the laws of the realm , should pay £5 or undergo ’ rs 1 0 three months imprisonment for the ﬁ t offence , £ or

six months for the second , and for the third should b ’ a j ure the realm or be transported . B ut if there was only one Act directly aimed at the Quakers they coul d with a little malevolent ingenuity be brought within the range of several others . Thus , by I I I an Act of Henry V . they could be imprisoned for refus ing to pay tithes by Acts of Elizabeth they could be ﬁn ed b for a sence from Church , and if obstinate , could be banished and a refusal to take the oath of allegiance exposed them to the penalties of which

might involve forfeiture of both property and liberty .

They might also be excommunicated for heresy , and if they persisted (as they always did) Chancery would issue de excom m un i ca to ca i en do f a writ p , directing the sheri f to seize them and keep them con ﬁn ed till they had given

satisfaction . Even for the contempt of refusing to remove their hats in a court of law they might be com m itted in deﬁn itel y . When on the way to their distant ul k meetings they co d be arrested as vagrants , and blac guards could assault them without fear of resistance or k reprisal . Besse gives local examples of cowardly attac s

on the defenceless .

Beside the grievous persecution i n ﬂi cted on this people i n Wales

under colour of law , many of them were grievously beaten and abused , to l the hazard of their ives , by wicked persons on the road , who , on

presumption of impunity , made it their sport to insult and abuse their peaceable neighbours : Oi those who suffered much by thi s means r l were John Humphreys and Humph y Wi liams at Carmarthen , James L Gri fﬁth ewis , near Tenby , Morgan , and many others ; and even

some of the priests struck several of them with their own hands (Vol . 8 I . . p 7 4 ) It is obvious that the fate of the Quakers depended very much on the temper of the magistrate . If he was humane and tolerant1 they had little to fear except the

1 Even a well-disposed magistrate was sometimes compelled by mercenary informers to notice acts or omissions that he would other

wise have ignored .

8 The ua kers o P em b r okeshi r Q f e. t ainl y visited the county early in the history of the movement , and Besse says that he is believed to have been the first preacher among the people called Quakers ’ ’ in Wales . Holme may have been the first of Fox s 1 f ’ k English disciples to cross O fa s Dy e on a mission , first but he was not the to bring the new faith . Richard

Davies , of Welshpool , writes

1 6 6 us About this time , being in the year 5 , our ministers told that there w a s a sort of people come up in the north [oi England] called

Quakers , that were a people of strange postures and principles f This sort o people called Quakers were much preached against . They were represented to us to be such a dangerous sort of people w e who we that were afraid of any had the name of Quaker , lest should 2 be deceived by them . The report concerning the strange people had 1 6 reached Wrexham by 53 , and roused so much curiosity 3 ’ that in July of that year Morgan Lloyd , the priest ,

sent two of his congregation to Swarthmore to enquire . The result of their mission is told by Fox

When those triers came down amongst us the power of the L ord S o overcame them , and they were both convinced of the truth . they u s stayed some time with , and then returned into Wales , where , after

wards , one of them departed from his convincement but the other, a oi L l o i n whose name was John p John [ Trevor, near lango len], ab de r the truth , and received a part in the minist y , in which he continued ‘ faithful . It is known that when John returned to Wales he b egan preaching the new faith ; it is highly probably

A justice there is in the town which to came meetings the last First Day , and his brother and many of them to called gentle folks have a true love in them . My spirit was large wards them they receive the truth in the love of it . I lay four nights ’ a in the mayor s house, and a Welshman [almost certainly John p John]

In that town there is one of the aldermen convinced , and a shoemaker are two . in And from thence we passed to Haverfordwest , the greatest town li Wales , and there, a merchant of the town [almost certainly Wil am of Bateman] is convinced . And we got a meeting that night near two n hundred people at his house in that tow . This is Fox ’s account3 of the visit which he paid to b k 1 6 Pem ro eshire in 57 .

L I i From this place [ eominster] travelled on in Wales , hav ng several n l meeti gs , ti l I came to Tenby ; where , as I rode up the street , a justice of peace came out of his house , desired me to alight and stay n at his house and I did so . O First Day the mayor and his wife and several of the chief of the town came in about ten and stayed all the

. a time of the meeting . A glorious one it was John p John , being then 1 - with me, left it and went to the steeple house, and the governor cast n him into prison . O the Second Day morning the governor sent one ’ offi cer s of his to the justice s house to fetch me , which grieved the ’ for mayor and the justice , they were both with me in the justice s ffi er S o house when the o c came . the mayor and the justice went up fficer to the governor before me and after a while I went up with the o . ’ When I came i n I said Peace be unto this house . And before the governor could exami ne me I asked him why he cast my fri end into ’ H e . i i . I prison said For stand ng w th his hat on in the church said , “ Had not the priest two caps on his head , a black one and a white off one Cut the brims of the hat , and then my friend would have but

r . one , and the b ims of the hat were but to defend him from the weather ’ ’ r Wh These are f ivolous things , said the governor . y then , said I dost thou cast my friend into prison for such frivolous things ? ’

I . Then he asked me whether owned election and reprobation Yes , ’ I At a said , and thou art in the reprobation . that he was in a r ge , and said he would send me to prison till I proved it but I told him I would k I prove that quic ly if he would confess truth . Then asked him whether wr ath , fury , rage , and persecution were not marks of reprobation ; for he that was born of the ﬂ esh persecuted him that was born of the Spirit but Christ and His disciples never persecuted nor imprisoned any . Then he fairly confessed that he had too much wrath , haste , hi m ﬁrst and passion in him . I told him Esau was up in , the birth , L ’ not Jacob the second birth . The ord s power so reached and came over him that he confessed to truth and the other justice came and shook me kindly by the hand . I I As was passing away was moved to speak to the governor again ,

i . I and he nvited me to dine with him , and set my friend at liberty went back to the other justice ’s house and after some time the mayor w and his ife , and the justice and his wife , and divers other Friends of u s to the town went about half a mile out of town with , the water side

It was taken by the Parliamentary forces on 3 ’ 1 6 8 l May, 4 , and the governor would doubtless be one of Cromwe l s ofﬁcer s as expert in theology as in war, and as much prejudiced against ’ the new system as one of L aud s own priests would have been . 2 1 6 2 1 6 0 John Roch was appointed rector in 4 , and died in 7 , but during the Commonwealth the living was held by Edward Carner, who therefore may have been the priest . k hi r 1 1 The Qua kers of Pem b ro es e.

These two extracts , instead of answering our question ﬁrst k as to the publisher of the truth in Pembro eshire , suggest other questions . The municipal authorities of

Tenby might , if broadminded , have tolerated or ignored the presence of Holme and Fox , and , if narrowminded , have persecuted them b ut we ﬁn d Holme welcomed in 1 6 6 b 5 as a guest y the mayor , and heard sympathetically 1 b of 1 6 y one the j ustices , and Fox in 57 welcomed as a guest and heard sympathetically by the mayor . The mayor was elected on Michaelmas Day , when two of the aldermen were also chosen to act as justices during the 1 coming year . The mayor elected in 655 was Thomas 2 ofﬁce Rogers , but he died in , and was succeeded for the 3 I t remainder of his term by Thomas Barrett . must

be he who received Holme , and it may be he who was on k- the loo out to welcome Fox . Holme , writing imme di atel y after his Visit , says that the mayor and his wife ’ ’ a re pretty Friends , and the Lord hath a people there . This is not the language we should expect him to apply k to converts made within the past wee , and all the cir cumstances seem to suggest that there were Friends 1 6 6 k in Tenby before June , 5 , and that it was a nowledge of the welcome awaiting them which caused Holme and Fox to begin their mission there rather than at Haverford ’ k west , the greatest town in Wales . We now from Gawler that Holme ’s wife addressed the Quakers assem ’ bled in Barrett s house in and the only difficulty is that he must have taken an oath on assuming office . Coul d he have been converted between the assumption and the arrival of Holme n Leavi g these questions , perforce , unanswered , I come now to a Visit made about 1 665 by the Richard Davies 2 of Welshpool , already mentioned . This is his account of it L When I was clear of Bristol , the ord having blessed me and pre served me so far in my journey, I set forward towards Pembrokeshire . I l L travel ed without any companion , but the ord alone , who was with me all along in my journey H e was my helper and preserver . S o I came to the house of our Friend L ewis Davies [David of L lan d d ewi h i w o L . Velfrey], gladly received me in the ord Stay ng there some time they lent me a horse to go to a meeting at Redstone [about hi a mile north of Narberth Castle], and I left my own horse be nd me , thinking he might rest for some days after my hard riding . When I came to the place the meeting was out of doors , there being no house that I knew of that could contain the multitude of people . When we to u n fit came the meeting Meredith Edwards, whom Friends judged G con fid en ce to preach the ospel, had the to speak to the people till they were weary of him , and those that were sensible were burthened by him after some time there stood up a Friend and silenced him . I L u s sate as a stranger among them . The ord was with His good presence was our comfort and satisfaction and after some time I had an opportunity to open to the people those things that belong to their

M. man , Edwards aforesaid , stood up again and preached to the people , and I turned my back and came away and the Friends , with most part of the people , followed me . As I wa s coming out a Friend came and told me there were two soldiers (I understood afterwards they were the two sons of a priest) that had brought my horse there some [2 1 ] miles . When I saw my horse I drew nigh to them and asked them who brought my horse

I . there . They asked me whether was the man that came from Bristol ’ ’

a . . I I s id I was Then , said they , you are the man we look for asked them by what authority they came or what warrant they had , and they showed me their swords and pistols . I told them such war rants highwaymen had . Then I asked them how they durst venture so among such a company . They said they knew we were peaceable men , and would not resist otherwise they would have brought greater I ’ force . told Friends We are not bound to obey them , and desired ’ two Friends to part, and leave only or three with me ; but Friends love was so great to me that they kept mostly in a body about me . S o I desired the Friend to take my saddle and bridle , that was ’ I on upon the Friend s horse that rid to the meeting , and put them S upon my own horse . o I got upon my horse and bid them lay their off I hands my horse , for feared not their swords nor pistols but if they had a warrant from any justice of peace or lawful magistrate

i t . o I within the county I would obey Then they let my horse g , and l M. turned a ittle aside , and saw them lay hold of the other man ,

Edwards (I could not call him a Friend , because he was not guided I to by a right Spirit) , and turned myself them again , and told them that if any justice of peace or any lawful magistrate within the county had anything to say to me that came from Bristol, they should hear of

. I me at the house of William Bateman , in Haverfordwest told them my business would require some stay in the country s o they let us go pretty friendly ; and I had several brave meetings in H a verfor west and other places in the county . P n hi n The last I had was at o c so [Puncheston] among the Welsh . They having notice of a Welshman coming to keep a meeting in those I parts , many came to that meeting , and good service had for the L wn o . ord , His truth being declared in their language to them We had out I wi the meeting of doors , and stood th my back towards Thomas ’ ’ Simmon s [Simon s] wall of his house . I was young and strong and my stee l ehou s e voice was heard to the p , and most of them came out to wi hear me , and very few came out th the priest when he had done . h W en the priest saw such a multitude he was moved to passion , and would have had the constable take me down . It was reported some said to the priest they would not take me down for I preached Christ G and the ospel to them , and they would have him come and learn of

’ me himself . I was informed that the priest s wife and two of hi s The ua kers o em b r k hi 1 4 Q f P o es re.

daughters were at the meeting , and were very loving and tender, and came to be convinced of the truth . The L ord was not wanting to us i u s His l fe , power , and good presence was with , and that meeting was the last I had in Pembrokeshire at that time . The Friends of that county were ver y loving and careful of Friends that came from far to visit them .

M . As for Edwards , the two men before mentioned took him before a justice the justice would have been moderate to him , and he would have showed him kindness , but , by his ungoverned temper, m i provoked the justice to passion , so that he com tted him to the House of Correction as a vagrant for three months to the great trouble of

Friends . Richard Davies came to Pembrokeshire a second time 1 1 6 H e about 6 8 . says that hearing Thomas Ellis and others had been arrested at Aberystwy th and sent to

Cardigan Gaol ,

I o found much love in my heart towards them, even so as to g to oﬁ er the magistrates of the county , to myself a prisoner instead li that they might go home to visit their fami es . I acquainted my wife i i n of my exercise , which came pretty close to her ; but she l kewise S o love , after a little consideration , gave me up for that service . ’ in I ﬁr st i a few days took my journey , and went to Thomas Ell s s house to visit his wife and family before I went farther ; his house — far being about twenty four miles from Welshpool , and not out of my l T . way towards Cardiganshire . There I very unexpectedly met El is di himself at home he told me they were all scharged out of prison . l a T . w s And now my service being farther for Pembrokeshire , E lis tw willing to accompany me in my journey and we went to Aberys yth ,

Anno 1 659 . James Jones was committed to the 1 w House of Correction by the Mayor of Haverford est , for standing before the Minister in the Steeple -house

there , to the Amazement both of him and the People , it as the Warrant of Commitment expressed . For k l an de the li e case William Thomas , of L y [Llanddewi k Velfrey] in Pembro eshire , was also imprisoned . In this year Elizabeth Holmes [Holme]2 preached at many large meetings in P em b rookshire ; at one k 3 of which Meetings Adam Haw ins , Priest of Haver fordwest ﬁrst , was present , and made at some

Opposition , but at length , being overcome by the

Power of Truth , confessed that he did believe her

to be a Woman that converted many Souls to God , ul and told her , if she wo d come to his Parish , he would give her Opportunity of speaking to the

People . A short Time after , she , accompanied with k k Alice Bur ett [Bir ett], went thither , where they had 4 a large Meeting at the House of William Bateman , k Oﬂi cers but were ta en thence by , and brought

I I . f Towards the end of the reign of Charles , the su ferers heard that there was , across the sea , a pleasant land where they could enj oy freedom of worship , where the atmos here F p was riendly , and where fertile farms could be had almost for the asking . This pleasant land was 1 n k Pe nsylvania , owned and ruled by the Qua er of highest social standing , William Penn . ’ Willi am had Penn s father , the great admiral Sir , died _ leaving him a claim against the Government of nearly — r money lent and sala y unpaid . The son , anxious to ﬁn d a place where the prisoners coul d be at k rest and hear no more the voice of the oppressor , as ed

1 Penn had intended calling his province New Wales , because it wa s mountainous and also , perhaps , because that name would continue the chain of New England , New Amsterdam (New York) , and New i Jersey . The secretary of the Privy Council , however , be ng an Epis co ali an p Welshman , objected to even a verbal connection between hi s . native land and a Quaker settlement Penn , therefore , remember ing that the country was wooded as well as mountainous , suggested refix Sylvania . To this the King proposed to p Penn in honour of the ’ i - admiral . The adm ral s son demurred , but he was over ruled , and l Pensylvania was fin al y fixed ou .

After the passing of the Toleration Act , when zeal was k no longer fanned by persecution , Qua erism began to l decline , and it has continued to decline almost steadi y ever since . To state the various reasons why , so far from w increasing , it has failed to maintain its numbers ould be irrelevant , but I may say that , while some of them re were inherent in the system , others might have been - k i moved without damage to its frame wor . O the causes which were matters more of policy than principle , the chief was the rule that any member marrying out of the ff body should be disowned . The disastrous e ects of this rul e were actual and potential : it lost to the society i thousands of actual members , and , in their ch ldren , thousands more of potential members . In Pembrokeshire all the causes operated on a com munity already depleted by emigration . The rapid loss of strength after the emigration is illustrated by the 1 682 1 6 1 fact that , whereas between and 9 three of the 2 ten Yearly Meetings for Wales were held in the county , onl y ﬁve of the ninety- six between 1 6 92 and 1 797 were k held in Pembro eshire . At the end of the 1 7th century there were meetings with or without houses at Haverfordwest , Redstone , ew ort Puncheston , Jamestown (near Manorbier) , N p , and ul St . Davids . Reg ar meetings were discontinued at

1 2 1 2 6 St . Puncheston in 7 5 , at Newport in 7 , at Davids

Their meeting was started in the autumn

Even with this accession of strength there were 1 82 only fourteen members in 9 , and no member had 1 I been admitted by convincement since 800. believe that the last member to be so admitted was George Phillips (universally known as the Quaker during my - 1 8 school days at Haverfordwest) , who was received in 57 into the Society whose traditional Virtues he fully ex l ﬁ em p i ed .

Monthly Meeting, now preserved in Devonshire House . 2 The burial ground for the Redstone district is at Trewern , half wa y between L landdewi Velfrey and Wh itland that for the Punches ton i L district at Martel , about half a m le east of ittle Newcastle ; l P ortﬁe d . and that for the Haverfordwest district on the Mount , A r I good many of the early F iends were buried at West Hook , though n do not k ow why that place was chosen , or whether the yard is still preserved . 3 I am As dealing with the Pembrokeshire Quakers , the history of these Americans is beside my purpose .

Though Gawler doubtless thought that he was wr iting the truth we are not bound to bel ieve that S tephen Hughes was a persecutor and a striker because Quakers who had been victims to the zeal of som e of the clergy were not likely to examine the evidence critically when they heard any priest accused of harshness . 2 The Qua kers of Pem b rokeshi re. 9

B Y FRANCIS GREEN .

The recent discovery of a mass of ancient treasures in k Egypt ma es one long for a similar event in this country , which would throw light on the social life of the early inhabitants of West Wales . Unfortunately , there is little probability of a hoard on such a scale being found , and investigators have perforce to fall back on such meagre records as are at present available . The subj ect is one of very large scope , and it is proposed in this article to merely touch on a few of the items coming under the heading , and to deal more particularly with

Pembrokeshire . One of the most important factors in the life of the residents of any country is the system of land tenure prevailing in their land . It seems clear from such evidence as is available , that in very early days the tribal system prevailed in Wales , that is to say the land was vested b in the tribe and not in the individual , but y the time of Howell B d a this system seems to have b ecome some m odiﬁed what , and the land appears to have been divided into estates belonging to groups of families , each group being called a Gwele or b ed . The succession of land on the death of an Uchelwr or chief of a house in the time B d a Wel sh of Howell , is very clearly explained in the Peopl e as follows The land of the deceased was ﬁrst of all di vided between

all his sons . If there were no buildings on the land , the

youngest son was to divide all the patrimony , and the r k shi r i n - e D 6 8 Pem b o e e B y gon ay s .

ul k eldest was to choose which portion he wo d ta e , and each in seniority chose unto the youngest . If there were buildings on the land , the youngest brother but one was T dd h a u to divide the y y (homesteads) , and the youngest was to have his choice among them and after that he was to divide all the patrimony , and by seniority they were to choose unto the youngest . That division was not l nl a . ﬁn , but o y continued during the lives of the brothers After the brothers were dead their sons (ﬁrst cousins) J eff ca i tal er divided the patrimony again { p , and not p sti es m ; the heir of the youngest brother divided , and “ t the heir of the eldes brother chose , and so by seniority

. fin al unto the youngest This division again was not , but onl y continued till all the first cousins were dead when that time arrived there was a fin al division p er

’ i - ca zta . e. fi among the second cousins , , the great grand ’ children of the original head of the Gwel e. Gwel e m odification The system , or a of it continued long after the advent of the Normans into Pembroke 1 2 6 i n shire , and in 3 was still in existence that county as well as in Cardiganshire and Carmarthenshire , side by F r side with land held by Norman tenure . o how long the Gwel e system continued to exist in Pembrokeshire k is un nown , but there is no doubt that , as the j oint owners and b en efici aries of such holdings realised the l disadvantages of the system , it gradual y disappeared , and the writer can recollect no trace of its continuance I I I after the reign of Richard . As might be expected ,

’ the Gweh tenure disappeared earlier in the south half of

Pembrokeshire than in the north portion . Thus the t Davi ds o B l ack Book of S . sh ws that the Welsh tenure 1 2 6 had apparently died out in Lamphey by 3 , while at Lawrenny there is mention made of onl y one holding 6 1 2 . which , in 3 , was obviously held under the system The Norman invaders on landing in Pembrokeshire naturally seized upon good d efen cib l e positions and en k trenched themselves with ban s and ditches . Having made good their foothold they proceeded to strengthen - 6 Pem b rokeshi re i n B y gon e Day s . 9

their camps . If timber was available they probably l k erected wooden p al is a des on the tops of the ban s , and this explains the reiterated statements in the An n a l es b ri w Ca m that the castles were burnt , and very shortly afterwards were rebuilt , in an incredibly short space of time if the defences had been built of masonry . Con

- sider ab ly later on stone built castles were erected . There is no record that there were any stone-built build ings in use in West Wales at the time of the Norman on invasion , or for many years later , and this absence of - k masonry indicates the set bac in civilization , which had f occurred after the departure o the Romans from Britain , whose substantial stone and brick buildi ngs must have b een familiar to considerable numbers of the native population of England and Wales . As the Norman lords gradually established their authority over the area immediately round their forts , they made small grants of land to their followers, who built their houses in close contiguity to the forts . This system was advantageous alike to the lords and their k tenants . The latter in the event of an attac by the k Welsh were able to see refuge in the forts , and the former thus secured much - needed reinforcements for their garrisons . Such grants were no doubt made on condition that the tenants should serve , when required , in the armies of the Norman landl ords . As time rolled on traders and small manufacturers , such as weavers and ’ arti z an s , settled alongside of the lord s tenants , and gradually these settlements became small towns , some of which obtained charters giving them certain privi leges . That the above system was followed is evident ul from the existing records , which show that the reg ar garrisons of the Edwardian castles in Wales were ex trem ely small and entirely inadequate to repel an as sault , and it is obvious that the defence relied on rein forcements from the tenants residing outside of and close to the castles . For some years after the invasion of Pemb rokeshi re 0 em b rokeshi re i n B - n D 7 P y go e ay s .

by the Normans , the Welsh inhabitants of the county

must have been in desperate straits . Their property was constantly being destroyed in the struggle between

the rival Welsh lords , and in addition there were steady

encroachments being made by the Normans . It is singular that this unequal struggle was maintained so long . The Normans were frequently shut up in their ul forts , sometimes in dire peril , and at best co d at times onl y hold such lands as were practically in sight of their

strongholds . This may partially be accounted for by the fact that it was difﬁcult to get reinforcements owing to the feudal system prevailing in England , under which the lords there had enough to do to supply their own quota of men required for the numerous wars then pre vailing . But in time the Normans were able to extend their i n ﬂuen ce sphere of , and to apportion their captured possessions amongst their followers to be held under the

Norman tenure . In some cases , however , for instance in

Kemes , the Norman lords came to terms with the Welsh landowners , and the latter were permitted to hold their re lands , or such portions of it as they were allowed to tain , according to the Welsh tenure , which as pointed out

above was a m odiﬁcation of the tribal system . Norman and Welsh tenures thus existed side by side in many nl k individual lordships , not o y in Pembro eshire , but also in Glamorganshire . Now under the feudal law the land was held to belong k to the ing , who made grants of it to his lords usually k ’ i by night s service , and these lords n turn made grants of portions of the land to their esquires and others on very similar terms , and these again often leased the

- land or made grants copyhold or otherwise to sub tenants . Tenants holding by knight ’s service had to provide a certain number of men to serve their landl ords in the wars , and in addition to this obligation were subj ect to scutage , attendance at fortnightly courts of the manor or lordship to which their lands belonged , wardship and marriage .

The rights of the lord of a manor even after the Restore tion were valuable . Thus the lord of Picton Castle in 1 68 5 was entitled to hold Courts leet , Courts Baron , and F k H . e Views of ran pledge was also entitled to heriots , deodands , waifs and strays , the goods of felons , fugitives , an d attainted persons , suicides outlaws , and also to k fin es treasure trove , wrec s , escheats , and amercements , k in a large number of parishes . In li e manner the lord W alwin scastl e of manor had similar privileges , and in ’ addition had free fishery in the waters of Martin s Haven t k Pool , and was also entitled to royalties and o mar et k Walwin scastl e k days and mar ets in , Sic , and Easting ton . Now the clergy usually held their land by another k k tenure . Generally spea ing they held either by Fran almoin , under which no services were due to the grantors nl u ess it were the prayers of the clergy for the donors , or else by socage under which a rent onl y was paid . As the holders of land under these tenures were exempt l from mi itary service , it is easy to realise that their tenants were better off than those holding under land ’ kn lords subj ect to ight s service , who were constantly At liable to be called away to the wars . the same time in all the clergy did not hold under these tenures , for stance the bishop of St . Davids as baron of Llawhaden b k ’ held that arony by night s service , and there were others of the clergy who held on similar terms . f The bishop of St . Davids was in e fect a lord 1 2 1 marcher prior to 3 , and it is highly probable that Norman customs and land tenure had been partially oi Dewi sl an d established in the lordship by Bernard , fill first t . who was the Norman to the see of S Davids . I I con firm It is recorded that Henry I . granted and ed t to Adam (probably an error for Anselm) , bishop of S .

Davids , all the rights held by his predecessors , and this grant was con ﬁrm ed by a charter of Richard II . to Adam

Houghton , who was given by the same charter all the liberties enj oyed by any lords marcher in their lordships . - D P em b rokeshi re i n B y gon e ay s . 73

’ Apparently this charter applied not onl y to the bishop s lands in Llawhaden , but also to his possessions in Dewis land .

Considerable light is thrown by the B l ack Book of S i . ’ Da vi ds on the tenures by which the bishop s tenants held their houses and lands in the year 1 3 26 . These tenants may be roughly cl assiﬁed into

1 . Burgesses , tenants who held houses and lands in

towns in the lordship .

2 . Those who held land outside of the towns . The b urgesses may for our purpose be divided into a two classes , ( ) those who held their tenements and burg 6 age lands by deed , and ( ) those who held their tenements

. without deeds . Presumably the last mentioned class held their property by copyhold , that is to say , their title consisted of entries in the court rolls of the manor , and it is more than probable that in the case of those burgesses l who held by deed , such deeds were required to be enro led on the manorial rolls . k Tenants of land outside of the towns , in li e manner held by deed or without deed , and rent payable in cash k k n or in ind and other services were , generally spea i g , payable by all tenants , whether in towns or in the country , B l a ck o k 0 S i Da vi ds and the B o / . states that such rentals (so far at all events as Trevine was concerned) were ﬁxed in the time of Bishop Anselm .

The limits of the town or borough of St . Davids is Da vi ds d eﬁn ed l a ck B ook o S é. unfortunately not by the B f , and it might very well be supposed that the borough corresponded with the division of the parish known as l ch- — un Cy y dre . For the information of those who are l acquainted with the parish , it shou d be mentioned that i c l chs the parish is d vided into y (circles) , and these k divisions still appear in the Rate Boo s of the parish . i 1 2 6 8 These divisions of the parish ex sted prior to , as a statute of Bishop Adam Houghton states that Phil ip di Caunton , archdeacon of Car gan , asserted in a petition

St . to the bishop , that his predecessors , as canons of em b r e hi re i n B - D 74 P ok s y gon e a ys .

r b Davids Cathedral , had enj oyed a ce tain pre end lying b etween the city of St . Davids and the sea (evidently the c l ch k C l ch Gwael od— - y , afterwards nown as y y mor) , which said prebend did not circul arize amongst the canons as did the other prebends of the cathedral , but had from of old , been united to his archdeaconry . k C l ch- - The divisions in question are nown as y y dre ,

— - C l ch Gwa el od C l ch C l ch . y y mor , y Bychan , and y Mawr 1 2 6 It seems clear , however , that if the borough in 3 C l ch- - c l ch corresponded with y y dre , the y must have

nl ' subsequently been considerably e arged , as the area of the borough at the former date is stated to have been 1 nl 0 il oi o y 73 acres 3 perches , wh e the acreage ( the 2 - cy l ch) given in a Rate book for 1 870 is 1 5 1 5 acres . k k Da i ds oo o S é. v Moreover , the Blac B f states that i e. the bishop had three water mills , . , the mill near u t (j x a ) the town of St . Davids this mill is k ll evidently the one now nown as Lower Mi , and was , therefore , outside of the borough of the City , whereas

l h- - Lower Mill is now in Cy c y dre .

The bishop of St . Davids undoubtedl y owned the lord P eb di auk ship of y , but it is not quite clear what this lordship comprised in early days . According to George k Owen , the Elizabethan historian of Pembro eshire , the lordship was given to the bishops of St . Davids (p . 3 9) by s a a the ancient princes of Wales , that is to y , by Rhys p Tewdwr 1 082 in , and in another place he states that the lordship of P eb y di auk corresponded with the present i l hundred of Dew s an d . M P e i i c S . 1 b d o Now according to a written in 559 , was a cantred (hundred) , containing three commots called M n w P en caer P eb idi oc y y , , and , but unfortunately there is no accurate deﬁn ition of the boundaries of these three commots .

1 — A 2 Welsh acres Welsh acre equalled about 3 Statute acres , and S on that basis the area of the old borough of t . Davids would have ﬁ ur es 1 been in round g 5 9 Statute acres . 2 ﬁ ur es The g do not include waste lands , commons and roads , and are said to be estimated . - Pem b rokeshi re i n B y gon e Day s . 75

My n y w was undoubtedly the di strict in the immediate P en caer t . vicinity of the City of S Davids , and was obviously the P en caer promontory ; the commot of P eb idioc - must therefore , have been the north eastern part of what I S now the Hundred of Dewi sl an d . The question is whether the lordship comprised the Cantred of P eb idi auk or merely the commot of that name . Now l a ck ook o S i Davi ds the B B f . shows that the bishop held P en ca er a substantial extent of land in the promontory , and at the present time chief rents are claimed by the

Ecclesiastical Commissioners or their assignees , on a P en caer number of farms in the district , including the Ca erl em l an wn wr Trehowell P en s farms of , L , , and y wern g , and it may also be well to put on record that the ’ farms above sp eciﬁed formed part of the bishop s manor

Tr ll s . of e y near St Nicholas . This goes to bear out George Owen ’s statement that the lordship comprised the P eb di auk Hundred of y , but so far as can be j udged by D i ds l a ck ook o S t. a v the B B f , it is certain that he did not possess anything like the whole of the land in that lordship in 1 3 2 6 . How then did the bishop lose such a considerab le portion of the land in his lordship It seems very prob able that much of it was lost during the episcopacy in — ri h H e 1 099 1 1 1 5 of Bishop G fﬁt . presided over the see during a very critical period . His possessions in

Pembrokeshire were hemmed in by the Norman invaders . The lordship of P eb y di auk had been ravaged in the time of his predecessor in 1 097 by Gerald de Windsor .

The pressure was no doubt continued if not increased , i n when he was elevated to the see , and the end Bishop Grifﬁth was either persuaded or intimidated into grant ing a considerable portion of his possessions in P eb y di auk as well as in other di stricts to the grasping Normans . Dewisl an d m l Llanrhian in , Cenarth Mawr in E yn , and Lawrenny and Ucceton (Upton) in Pembrokeshire are especially mentioned as having been alienated . Bishop David Fitzgerald was another dilapidator of 6 P em b rokeshi re i n B - on e D 7 y g ay s .

the episcopal possessions , who (according to his nephew Gir al dus Cam b ren sis) impoverished the see with more modesty than some of those who went before or came of k after him , and j udging by the poverty the bishopric , there must have been other bishops who were equall y f generous with the estate o the Church . These early benefactions to the laity and others were no doubt accountable for the decrease of the bishop ’s possessions i l a Dew s n l ck ook o S t. Da vi s in d as revealed by the B a B f d . It has been previously pointed out that the tenants of the lordship of P eb y di auk held their land either by copyhold or by deeds which had -probably to be entered on the court roll of the lordship . Yet practically all land in the Hundred of Dewi sl an d is now conveyed as f freehold . Leet courts for the manor o the City of St .

Davids and for the manor of St . Davids have in modern 1 1 6 days been more or less regularly held until the year 9 , and at such courts presentments were solemnly made of

any transfers of realty in those manors , and instructions ﬁn es given for the collection of for such alienations , but ﬁn es these were practically uncollectable , and the whole

procedure of the court leets were a farce . How then was the change in the tenure of the land in these manors effected ? There is no record of the conversion of these of copyholds into freeholds , so far as the writer this nl article had discovered , and the o y conclusion which can be suggested is that there was neglect on the part

’ ' fﬁcers of the bishop s o in days long since elapsed . Prob ably after Bishop Barlow relinquished his residence in

t . the palace at S Davids , the manor courts were allowed

- to lapse , with the result that land owners all began to

transfer their holdings by a deed of bargain and sale ,

followed by a release , which was the ordinary method of

conveying freehold property at the time , and this pro cedut e gradually led to the land being considered as

freehold . It will thus be seen that the tenants of the lordship of P eb y di auk succeeded in converting their copyhold land into freehold without the aid of an Act

of Parliament . ’ - P em b rokeshzre i n B y gon e Day s . 77

Another possible factor in the change was the creation

- by the bishop of mesne or sub manors . This system , N O1 as previously pointed out , was also adopted by the k man lords in Pembro eshire , but the number of such 1 88 Dewisl an d manors existing in 5 in , far exceeded the number created in the other hundreds in the county .

According to a list compiled in that year by George Owen , 8 the Elizabethan historian , there were in all 5 manors Dewi sl an d 2 2 2 1 in , as against in Castlemartin and in At of Dewisl an d Roose . that date 3 5 these manors in MS had come into the possession of lay persons , and the reveals that prior to 1 588 changes in the manorial system in Dewi sl an d had already taken place . Thus it is recorded P oin tz ca stl e that the manors of Brawdy , , and Newgale N ova Vi lla ( ) , which in times past had been separate manors , had been amalgamated into one manor , and one court was then held for the three manors . Amalgamation was also going on amongst the manors ﬁn d a k of lay persons . We that J ohn p Rees of Ric ard of ston , in the parish of Brawdy , a descendant Sir Rees wrid a K . G. G p Thomas , , had united the manors of Mawr , wrid M n ith Tr ew lin G Bychan , y Gwin , and y , but it is more important to observe that there was already a of tendency to abandon the holding manorial courts . Thus Thomas Johnes had discontinued the courts of the small manor of Tr evin art near St . Davids the lord of the manor of Tressy ssy lt in the parish of Granston had followed his example , and John Wogan had given up holding courts for the west part of the town of Stang n aveth l a n l offan (L g in the parish of Granston) , but

continued those for the other part of the borough . The amalgamation and abandonment of manorial courts was no doubt due to the fact that the expenses of such courts

exceeded the fees received from holding the same . Later b on other lords of mesne manors followed suit , and pro ably the abolition of the feudal duties in 1 660 sounded the al D sl death knell of most of the manori courts in ewi an d . In connection with Pembrokeshire manors it is interest 8 em b rokeshi re i n B - D 7 P y gon e ay s .

ing to note that in Elizabethan and Stuart times there was more than one property held of the king ’s manor of F r co . . o East Greenwich , Kent instance the Post Mortem Inquisition held on the death of Rowland Walter of Roch 1 6 2 2 6 in , shows that he owned a house and acres of land Drewston in , in the parish of Nolton , and also a yearly rent of 4s . issuing out of a messuage in Tr egl em es in the k ’ parish of Llanhowell , held of the ing s manor of East

Greenwich . There are other examples which might be mentioned . The practice seems to have been that in the event of any unconsidered triﬂes in the way of real h estate falling to the crown by way of escheat or ot erwise , and of there being no crown manor in the neighbourhood , the property so accruing to the king was united to his k manor of East Greenwich . Pembro eshire was not unique

co . in this as the advowson of Presteign Radnor , which ’ in 1 568 was owned by John Bradshaw of St . Dogmael s

Abbey , was held of the manor of East Greenwich , and Devonshire lands in the parish of Ashbrittle were also held of the same manor . There appear to have been no very large estates in the P eb di auk lordship of y , but there are many traces of the l es old communal system of tenure sti l in existence , p eci ally in the parish of St . Davids . These are found in the extraordinary intermixture of land in farms in that parish . Land of different owners lying in a field without any division between the different parcels are a common occurrence , and in one case , which came under the ’ writer s notice a few years ago , land of one owner lay in the centre of his neighbour ’s land without any means i of of access to t . This curious intermixture land is no doubt the result of a fin al division of land held under the Gwel e system on the disappearance of that tenure , and it is more than probable that the legal phrase d efin i n g a small piece of land as a parcel of land arose from the conveyance of the bits of old tribal lands . The owners of intermixed lands at an early date realised the inconvenience of their dispersed properties , and

80 em b r okeshi re i n B - on e Da s P y g y . between stakes may have formed the walls of the dwell ings . Cl om Another method of building was the houses , the walls of which were constructed of clay mixed with Cl om straw . is the equivalent of the Danish Kl a m or

' Kla m m k the German , which means a stic y substance , and this suggests that this kind of construction was introduced either by the Flemish or the Norse settlers in the county . In most cases the roofs were probably thatched with rushes or straw , but in districts where thin ﬂa s g or slates were obtainable , these materials may have been utilized as a covering for the houses . In picturing the homes of the early in habitants of k ' Pembro eshire , we must , even in respect of those of the wealthier portion of the community , adopt a system of considerable reduction when comparing them with dwell ings of modern times . The houses of the leadi ng families in the county , with the exception of the Norman castles dl and the residences of the bishop , even up to the mid e of 1 b i n ﬁn itel the 4th century , were considera ly smaller and y more uncomfortable than the present day houses of well

- to do persons , and naturally the dwellings of the poorer persons were much smaller still , and entirely devoid of what are now considered almost necessities . People k 2 0th pac ed in much closer then than in the century , and there were no sanitary inspectors to interfere with a householder who had a large family . In early days the windows of even the wealthy were either open to the weather , or glazed with horn or oiled paper . Glass when obtainable was an expensive luxury even for the rich , and at a much later date was almost beyond the means of the inhabitant of a cottage . This probably accounts for the tiny window apertures which are still sometimes to be seen in the ruins of ancient cottages . Under such circumstances it is easy to realize that the cottages must have been extremely cold in winter , and this no doubt accounted for the diminutive di size of the windows , and also the practice of viding em b rok hi r n B - n D s 8 1 P es e i y go e ay .

the door in half . This was formerly a very common Dewisl an d practice in , and had two advantages , as it enabled the occupant of the cottage to close the lower k half of the door , and thus eep out pigs and other animals , while the upper half of the door could be kept open to l admit light and much needed fresh air into the dwe ling . The writer has often wondered whether the old Welsh cupb oard bedsteads were not a relic of the days when cottages devoid of window panes must have b een ex trem el occu y draughty , as in this style of bedstead the pant was able to shut himself up in the b edstead b y slidi ng the doors and thus exclude the chill winds . It will now be interesting to see what scale of wages k was paid in Pemb ro eshire in olden days . Some interest ing light on this subj ect is found among the records of

t . S S Davids Cathedral . The M in question is a copy of the weekly accounts of payments made in the year 1 8 — k 3 4 5 , presumably by Hugh de Pic ton , the supervisor of the fabric of the cathedral in that year . The original

S . M has long since disappeared , but fortunately for posterity a copy of it has been preserved and b ound up in a volume (now entitled Li b er Com m un i s) containing the accounts of the common fund of the Upper Chapter of the Cathedral for a much later date . The account of k om m un i cat MS . C a Hugh de Pic ton is in a called , which is here used to mean entries or stated account relating to the common fund of the Upper Chapter , the k up eep of the fabric , as is shown by the statutes , having been a first charge on the common fund of that Chapter . This account has been previously published in Jones ’ F D vi ds Cathedral i stor o S t. a and reeman s H y f , but as it was published in Latin with contractions intelligible only to experts , and a few errors have occurred in the k edition printed in that wor , and the contents are par ticul arl y interesting on account of its local lights , an English translation of it with notes by the writer is given below for the b en efit of the general public .

After reading the above account the reader will no doubt be struck by the curious names of the workm en mentioned . Bole is probably the equivalent of Ball , but V rist is a name which the writer has never previously

S o k combination Perhaps y g was a nic name , equating k Siglo sha ing . V awrer may have been an epithet relating to the size k of the father of the wor man , but it is interesting to note k V awer that there was a Jen in , a shearman in Haverford ll V awer k sheriﬁ west , whose son Wi iam , a cardma er and ’ 1 8 V awre s of Bristol in 55 , was the founder of charity

in Haverfordwest . It appears from the account that the wages of a common

d . r day labourer was 3 per day , except in winte , when his

2 d . d a pay was reduced to 1 per y . Masons were paid d about 41 . per day in summer . Master John , the ’ k 5 . carpenter , received 4 per wee , but he was no doubt arti z an a superior , as other carpenters were paid only

d . 5 a day , and the next highest wages paid to any of the k wor men was received by Christian , the glazier , whose

k . pay was 3 5 . a wee How these wages compared with those paid in England will be seen from the following entries — I n 1 3 84 a mason 1 6 1 8 in Elham was paid d . per day ; in 3 5 a carpenter 1 at Oxford received 6d . per day ; in 3 99 a mason in

8d . London got per day , and a carpenter at Hornchurch , f d . 1 00 5 per day , while in 4 a carpenter in Radcli fe was

d a . paid 4d . per y I n considering all these rates of wages it must not be forgotten that money was worth very considerably more than in the present day , and that the cost of food was

‘ i 1 8 correspondingly low . Thus n 3 4 at Southampton ,

1 d . 8d . 5 . I S . lambs were each , pigs , 3 each , and sheep

i k . r v ctuals on the way to the mar et Mo eover , no one was to prevent provisions from bein g brought to the k mar et and exposed for sale , and when provisions were being sold , the bishop , canons , and vicars choral of the cathedral were to have the preference over all other k buyers . Wor men were by the same Statute prohibited from going to reap for pay outside the lordship in harvest k time , if wor were available within the lordship , under ﬁn e a penalty of a and imprisonment .

It will be observed that , while in modern times the tendency is to establish a minimum rate of wages , the ﬁx practice in early days was to a maximum scale , and this principle was apparently in force in Devonshire in 1 6 6 5 , for which year the following maximum wages were settled by the justices at the Quarter Sessions for that county

The sanctity of the cathedral did not protect it from

Violation by thieves , and a little previous to November 1 3 85 burglars appear to have broken the locks of the Church , and such was their audacity that the cathe dral authorities were reduced to walling up divers win dows in the church on account of the depredation of the thieves , and presumably also divers doors in the aisles of the church . Unfortunately there is no record as to what booty , if any , was secured by the robbers . The subsequent accounts in the Li b er Com m un i s give very little information as to the wages paid in years

‘ m c ta 1 0 subsequent to the Com m u a . In the account for 49 Com m un arius of Master William Warren , the of the

6 5 . Cathedral , we learn that Thomas Knight was paid k k a for wor ing stones , and Jen in p Thomas , Thomas Hay ward , Thomas John , and William Leya , his associates ,

d . 4 per day , while John the plumber and his associates were paid 1 od . per day for two days repairing the aque m arius duct . In the account of the same Com un for 1 2 Kn ea ht 49 , Thomas g and his associates were paid

5 . k 2 6d . for three days for wor ing at the pavement of Wa d n the Cathedral , and Henry y and his mate were k 5 . 2 d . l paid 4 for wor ing at the wa l of the churchyard , a being at the rate of 9d . for each d y . After this date the writer had found no entries showing the wages in North k “ west Pembro eshire until the year 1 708 . From that a P en r allt Kib wr year the diary of Rees p Rees of , in the

St . parish of Dogmaels , yeoman , more or less covers the period down to 1 73 4 . In this diary the owner has j otted down the following memoranda of his hiring of workpeople on the undermentioned dates :

The accounts of Abel Hicks of Trem an hir e in the parish Wh Dewisl an d of itchurch in , supplies to some extent the information for a later period . It appears that he relied dut work to a large extent on y by his tenants , but an account with one of them named John Woolkock give some useful information as to the rate of wages paid . 1 Woolkock In 754 was paid 3 d . for half a day mowing

6 . 1 1 5 d 6 . . od rye grass , 5 for 1 days in harvest , and for five k 1 days wor after the harvest . In April , 757 , the same person was paid 7d . for 3 1 days digging in the fil lin 1 k garden and g carts . In 792 Henry Hic s (son of Abel Hicks) rented a house and garden to Elizabeth Griffiths , who agreed to reap and bind during harvest

k 1 d . d . for 3 per day , and to ma e hay and weed at per

a d . d y . Another tenant bound himself to reap at 4 per a d y . It is probable that all the above rates were some what under the current wages as the work was in part payment of the rent . A servants -book of John Evans of Tr evay og Hall in the parish of St . Nicholas supplies information as -1 8 to the wages paid in the period 45 , from which the following items are extracted , the hirings being in each case for the whole year

From this date till the beginning of the reign of James I there is little information available as to the apparel k of the inhabitants of Pembro eshire , but it is certain that among the wealthier classes luxury in raiment

had steadily increased . The inventory of the goods of Sir 2 1 2 John Perrot at Carew Castle made on 7 April , 59 , is

disappointing , the only items of personal apparel men 4 tion ed being two pairs of p an touﬁes and three pairs s in s n s a o 6 s . of p , their total value being , the expl nation

of this no doubt being that the inventory is not complete .

There were dandies at that period as in modern times , and in 1 6 03 some of the fashionable swells were equally ’

reluctant to pay their tailors bills , with the result that

they were sued in the Great Sessions , and these bills ,

being fortunately preserved , are now available for our

In the way of household utensils , the writer has found no mention of crockery or earthenware having b een k cawl used in Pembro eshire in early days . Yet broth [ ] was almost a national item of food and basins of some k ind must have b een required to hold it . There can be little doubt that bowls and plates of sycamore wood and spoons of the same material formed the dinner service for the consumption of broth and other liquid comestibles in the houses of all but the wealthier members of the l . d community The latter class had undoubte y plates , k dishes , basins , cups , tan ards , spoons , and other articles W made of pewter , hile the millionaires of the period had more or less silver and silver gilt plate for domestic use . Cups of horn were also used , and the writer of this 1 868 k article recollects that in , the outer itchen at Treva coon appropriated to the farm servants was supplied with wooden bowls and spoons for broth , etc . , which k k with bacon , barley bread and oaten ca es , butter , mil , and cheese were the chief articles of diet in that kitchen . k houseservan ts In the inner itchen , appropriated to the , neat little horn tumblers were in daily use . The following is a list of all silver and pewt er articles sp eciﬁcally mentioned in documents and in will s and inventories for probate purposes of the goods of Pem b rokeshire 1 1 — 1 6 persons during the period 55 59 , which ’ n have come under the writer s notice . It is interesti g not only as throwing light on the conditions of social b ut ﬁn an ci al life , also as indicating to some extend the

circumstances of the owners . It must not , however , be concluded that the list comprises the whole of the plate wt nl and pe er in the county , as it is o y in comparatively

few instances , the names of the houses containing the hearths . However it is possible to identify some of the r es1 den ces more important in the county , and this enables

one to obtain a rough idea of the sizes of the old houses . i den tiﬁcation t The of the houses in the parish of S . Davids

is not so satisfactory as in some of the other parishes . ea r h The H t T ax R oll reveals that in the city of St . Davids the largest number of ﬁre places (6 hearths) was 6 k 1 0 . paid for in 7 by John Owen , cler Now the bishop ’s palace was undoubtedly the biggest ediﬁce house in the city , but tradition asserts that that had been unroofed and abandoned during the ep l scop ate of Bishop William Barlow (1 53 6 and in any event r 1 66 1 it is ce tain that in the palace was in ruins , as in a 1 6 0— 1 B i sho Wil li am suit brought in 7 by p , Lucy against

a certain Henry Williams , it was stated that the bishop had demised to the defendant all that decayed p all ace 66 1 St . 1 1 of Davids and its appurtenances on 9 July , ,

in as large a manner as James Mathias , esq . had held the

same . This suit was brought to recover damages because

Henry Williams had allowed one hall , one parlour , and un two chambers to become uncovered , that is to say

roofed . Whether Henry Williams resided in a portion

of the palace is uncertain . The probability is that he lived in one of the old cottages which formerly stood in

the courtyard of the palace , but it is obvious that his dwelling could not have been the house mentioned in

the Hea rth Tax R oll as having ﬁve hearths . One would ’ naturally expect that after the bishop s palace , the next largest house in the city would have been that of the 1 6 0 precentor . But in 7 the precentor was William

- Thomas , while John Owen was only the sub chanter of

the Cathedral . The possible explanation is that the

- precentor had rented his house to the sub chanter . This theory is to some extent borne out by the fact that the

- house of the vicars choral , of whom the sub chanter Cha ter Acts was the head , is stated in the p to have been 1 6 ruined and decayed in 93 , and to such an extent em b rokeshi re i n B - on e Da 1 2 P y g y s . 1 that the Upper Chapter admonished the vicars to set by part of the next ﬁn e they received towards the re building of their house . No other cleric seems to have paid a hearth tax in the city . George Williams , who k was assessed for only two hearths , is described as cler , but there is no record of any clergyman of that name in t S . Davids at that date , and he was possibly the George k 1 Williams who was parish cler in 7 2 0 . It would thus appear that all members of the Upper Chapter were then

- non resident . The next largest house after that of John Owen was occupied by Thomas Hargest , who although not de R 01 1 k scribed in the as a cler , was a Vicar choral , and he paid for four hearths . In some of the other parishes in the county the id en tiﬁcation of the houses is more satis k factory , and for the sa e of comparison the following entries have been selected

the river . The present house at Boulston was erected

The ﬁgure for the years 1 587 and 1 599 were compiled by George Owen for the former year from the Sheriffs ’ k k boo s , and for the latter year from the Muster Boo s . The num ber of houses for 1 670 is taken from ' the list earth T a x R oll 1 0 of householders in the H , and includes 4 paupers who were not liable for the tax . In 1 593 and for a century afterwards it was the custom in Pembrokeshire and also in Carmarthenshire to rent k live stoc with or without land to tenants . George Owen ’ ’ in his T ayl or s Cusszon gives a balance sheet of the cost of the stock and the p roﬁt in the case of cattle and sheep in 1 593 on the basis of 40 kine and 400 sheep . In this 6 account the cost of the cattle when purchased was £ 3 ,

8 5 . d . and the yearly return was £5 3 4 , while the yearly

of the corn grown . The tenant was to keep the cattle with lawful herds both winter and summer to prevent them k from being drowned or mired , and to eep the sheep from k being stolen or illed by dogs , and to return the said k Deverose stoc to at the end of the term .

The next example is the letting of a farm , with live k 1 0 Fe 6 6 — b . 1 0 stoc and implements on , 7 , when Philip w Picton of Martlet y , yeoman , leased to John Thomas , then late of Lawrenny , husbandman , a messuage and ﬁel ds c ll ock lands in the of S o in the parish of Ambleston , 1 0 k 6 0 2 together with ine , 4 oxen , sheep , horses , a f mare , a cart bound with iron , a plough with i on , and ﬁve two pairs of harrows with their teeth , for years at

6 5 . 8 the yearly rent of d . The description of the plough and harrows suggests that both these implements largely consisted of wood . Extremely interesting must have been the lease of Carew Castle and lands granted Croorn b e to Edward Webb by Sir John Carew of Court ,

c . kn o S t . omerset , The lease itself is missing , but from a suit in the Great Sessions brought by Si r John Carew All eston against Margaret Webb of , the widow and

h . executrix of Edward We be , late of Carew Castle , esq , to recover £1 00 damages for cutting down trees and for other breaches of covenant , it appears that Edward Webb

0 . 1 60 on 3 Nov , 5 , agreed to surrender the lease to Sir

John Carew , but with the right to occupy the property

— 2 . 1 6 0 8 . until 5 Mar , 7 In the meantime Webb was to k l preserve the deer in the par , but had the privi ege of killing two bucks he was also to leave 400 sheep and 0 4 other cattle for Sir John Carew . Other cases of lettings of live stock in Pembrokeshire are to be found in the P am rs of the Grea t S essi on s up to 1 the latter part of the 7th century , but we must content W ourselves with one more example , hich although not 5 0 stated in the document , probably occurred in the parish of Hayscastle . In this case an action was brought F t by rancis Harries , gen , against William Howell in 1 66 — 6 5 for damages under a bond , which recited that ‘ B - D s 1 2 Pem b rokeshi re t u y gon e ay . 5 the defendant has rented from the p l a i n tiﬁ 40 ewes at 5 the yearly rent of 2 0 . For the period 1 542 — 1 700 interesting sidelights can be obtained from the plea Rolls touching the com m rci al k e and social life in Pembro eshire . We learn for

2 0 Au . 1 instance from these documents that on g , 597 ,

a St . David Canon bought from Thomas C non i n High ,

6 0 1 2 5 . Haverfordwest , barrels of white Portugal salt at k 6 per barrel , ma ing a total of £3 , to be delivered in one ’ month s time , but that the latter had not delivered the ul salt in November following , with the res t that David

Ca non sued him for £1 00 damages . Then Henry Saunders k 2 0 and William Moore undertoo to deliver before July , 1 6 0 l 4 , to Wi liam Walter of Haverfordwest at his house , eight bushels of wheat of the measure then used in the i town and county of Haverfordwest . W lliam Walter was an alderman of that town , and was the brother of

. Moris Walter , the ancestor of the Walters of Roch Castle This reference to the particular measure by which the wheat was sold reminds us that almost every town had its own individual weights and measures . For example , k the Haverfordwest , Pembro e , and Tenby bushels con tai n ed 1 6 gallons or double the Winchester bushel . In Dewisl an d il the bushel in use was somewhat larger , wh e the Cardigan bushel was double the size of the Haverford conﬁn ed west bushel . This variety of measures was not k ff to Pembro eshire . The same state of a airs prevailed in Carmarthenshire and Cardiganshire , and corn mer chants must have found their business somewhat intricate in those days . From the same records we have evidence that Pem b rokeshire merchants in 1 597 were exporting frieze and F other merchandize to rance . In this trade was a Walter P hil in P hil in p who was no doubt Walter p , alderman of 1 6 1 0 1 6 1 Tenby , who died between the years and 3 , and was the owner of Caldy Island , which he had purchased

’ 1 6 1 0 t . a little before from John Bradshaw of S Dogmael s . It appears from the document that a certain John Morris h n B - n D 1 2 6 Pem b rokes i re i y go e ay s .

E dwa rd o Ca rm a rthen had freighted a ship called the f , o F from the port of Carmarthen to g to rance , and that he agreed to transport to Brest or Con quett in France a consignment of merchandize and marine goods and 80 P hil in pieces of cotton and frizes belonging to Walter p , for the sum of £50 . The goods were loaded on the ship 1 2 D c e . 1 at Tenby on , 597 , but John Morris did not land the goods as agreed , with the intention , it was alleged , of P hil in defrauding p , who as a result sued him for damages . As might be expected a good deal of the business at the Great Sessions consisted of actions for the recovery of debts and penalties under bonds . The defence to these actions were pretty much the same as at the present day , but in more than one instance occurs the somewhat curious defence that the defendant coul d not have signed the bond because he was in prison at the

1 6 0 . time . In 7 a very interesting prosecution occurred A grand j ury presented that Katharin e Lewis of Gum freston , spinster , otherwise Katherine Bowen (wife of

6 w . Prior to the statute of 5 E d VI . anyone could k eep an alehouse without a licence , but by that statute it was enacted that no one shoul d keep any common alehouse or tippling house without a licence from two j ustices of the peace . It is easy to understand that for some time after the passing of this Act— the ﬁr st Li censing Act in the country— there were numerous con traven tion s S 0 of the tatute , but even some 5 years later there must have been a considerable number of un

licensed houses in which ale was sold , and it is rather a k ﬁn d oi the shoc to our modern ideas to that some _ clergy

were presented for keeping illicit shebeens . There is in existence a record of the presentment of a grand jury of

the sessions , which is undated , but is evidently about 1 6 0 for the year 5 , which records some nine alehouses

which the owners had no licenses , among the tavern k eepers being David Lloyd of the parish of Jordanston ,

k . and Edward Gwyn , cler , vicar of Llandissilio In k t 1 6 1 St . Sep , 5 , Thomas of Dogmells , cler , was k presented at the sessions for eeping at St . Dogmells

without a licence a common tippling house , and for

selling ale and beer , and Hugh Johnes of Llanychaer , k f smith , was li ewise presented for the same o fence . The k surname of the former is blan in the document , but he

St . was no doubt Thomas Price , who was Vicar of Dog 1 1 mells in 6 4 . Actions for ej ectment from land were very numerous

at the Great Sessions , and there were frequent replevin and other suits brought in regard to distraints and re k F moval of live stoc . rom an early date considerable ff hardships were caused by the baili s , who , probably

with a View of increasing the costs or for other reasons , used to take the stock distrained to places several miles

away instead of putting it into a pound near b y . This

practice must have become very prevalent , as an Act 1 2 t 1 k was passed on Sep , 554 , prohibiting stoc dis k k trained in any hundred , wapenta e , or lath being ta en except to an open pound in the same county not more hi B - n D 1 Pem b rokes re i n y go e ays . 2 9

than three miles from the place of seizure . Yet this Act did not altogether put a stop to the practice , as William k n David , in a suit against Owen Wogan Jen i and Thomas t 1 66 John , stated that the defendants on 5 Sep , 5 , had k distrained two blac horses worth £5 at Fishguard , and had taken them to the pound of the hundred of Dewis

i . land , more than three m les away As the Pl ea R oll s and Pa pers of the Great S essi on s chi efl y cover the civil business at the Sessions , we have to fall back on the gaol fil es in order to obtain light on the criminal activity in the county . The houses of the wealthy in 1 6 03 seem to have attracted the attention of fin d burglars as much as in the twentieth century . We a Morvill for instance that David p Ieuan of , labourer , was indicted for burglarizing the mansion of Thomas Kilkiffe h t . Lloyd of , in the parish of Llanychaer , esq , on

2 2 . Dec in that year , and stealing a great silver salt , double gilt , worth two silver bowls , parcel gilt , 8 05 . worth £ a silver goblet , parcel gilt , worth 4 and 6 silver spoons worth £3 . Even the houses of persons of Au 1 6 smaller incomes did not escape , as in g . , 45 , a thief , whose name is not mentioned , plundered the house of ll David Wi iam James , in the parish of Llanhowell , and i stole bedding and clothing out of t . Let us now see what provision was made for education ﬁrst in the county . In the place there was the grammar

t . foun d a school of S Davids Cathedral , the date of the k n nl tion of which is un now , but it was certai y in exist 1 6 0 ence in 5 . This school would appear to have been the earliest educational establishment in the county , but 1 6 1 Kilkiffeth 2 2 . on Nov , 3 , Thomas Lloyd of (whose 1 6 0 house was burglarized in 3 as mentioned above) , f who was sheri f for the county in that year , and had ofﬁce 1 6 previously served that in 59 , conveyed to the mayor of Haverfordwest and certain feoffees a number of messuages and lands in and about the town of Haver fordwest sufﬁci en t on trust , to cause a grammar school to be kept in some conveni ent place within the town of 1 0 em b rokeshi re i n B - on D 3 P y g e ay s .

Haverfordwest , where scholars may be taught such learning and knowledge as are ﬁttin g to be taught in a F grammar school , which school was to be called the ree ﬁrst Grammar School of Haverfordwest , founded by ’ Kilk th ed k Thomas Lloyd of y y , Pembro eshire , esq . The deed provided that the rents of the properties were k to be employed in eeping some meet , able , discreet , and learned man in the Latin tongue . This endowment was later on augmented by John Millward , who by his will

1 0 1 6 - dated June , 54 , devised to trustees a one third share of eight houses and 2 1 parcels of land call ed Hens

2 a . rm Farm (5 situate at Bordesley , near Bi ingham , on trust (as to one - third thereof) for the Haverfordwest

Grammar School founded by Thomas Lloyd , and on trust (as to another one - third thereof) for the B irm in g

- ham School , and on trust (as to the remaining one third) B r a z en ose for the support of a scholar at College , Oxford , from the Haverfordwest or Birmingham schools .

- But besides the above mentioned grammar schools , it is clear that there was a certain amount of private nl tuition going on in the country districts , not o y in P l ea regard to industrial arts , but also in letters . The R olls P hil e Mun cton 8 show that Henry p at on July , 1 62 0 Mar docus , agreed with Alice , the wife of Roberts , to teach Jen ett (daughter of Henry Philps) to work with ’ en ett 2 0 her needle at Robert s house . J remained there k wee s , but her father refused to pay for her board , so 1 6 8 Roberts and his wife sued him for £4 . In 3 John Treva ch N an t w n Lloyd of , in the parish of Llanvair g y , placed his daughter Elizabeth with Richard Johnes and his wife Dorothy to be taught by them , but John Lloyd declined to pay the tuition fees , and was sued for the amount in 1 642 . Further evidence of local private education is afforded by the P a pers of the Grea t S essi on s 1 6 us for 53 , which hand down to the fact that Mary Griﬁi th k (afterwards wife of Tan ard of Camrose) , on

. 1 6 2 N ov . 5 , 49 , before her marriage to her husband , k agreed at Roch with John Price , cler , to board , lodge ,

after the marriage convey certain property to trustees s eciﬁe on trusts p d therein . After the celebration of the

marriage the actual settlement was executed . This was

the usual practice in North as well as in South Wales . In the case of less a fﬂuen t persons the agreement was

often omitted , and they contented themselves with a

single settlement , which was executed either before or

after the marriage , and sometimes not for many years

after the event . When the parents were wealthy the bridegroom ’s father usually settled either a part of the estate (or the whole of it subj ect to a life interest therein e for the father) on his son for life , with remaind r (subj ect to an annuity for the bride for her life) on the issue of

the intended marriage . In the case of persons of more

modest incomes the same principle was followed , but the

bride was given , after the death of her husband , a life

interest in the property or in some part thereof , and the

marriage portion of the bride , usually in money , was paid either to the father of the bridegroom or to the

bridegroom himself . But in many of these settlements a proviso was in s erted that in the event of the bride dying without issue , s eciﬁed and within a short p period after her marriage , her portion or a proportion of it was to be repaid to the

parent or next of kin of the bride . As a rule marriage settlements in Pembrokeshire followed the ﬁrst- men ti on ed . type , but there were some of the second type 2 0 1 6 2 Thus by a prenuptial settlement dated April , 5 , John William Hugh of [Tr ear ched in the] parish of en ett Llanrhian , husbandman , and J his wife , in con sideration of the intended marriage of his grandson George William to Barbara David (daughter of David P orth dd V awr Harrie James of y y , in the same parish , Trea rched yeoman) , conveyed to trustees the farms of Trewalter aforesaid and , in the parish of Mathry , on trust (as to T rearched) for the said John Will iam Hugh for his life , with remainder (subj ect to a life estate in on e-third part thereof to the said J en ett) to George Wil — 1 Pem b rokeshi re i n B y gon e Day s . 3 3

liam for his life , with remainder to the said Barbara

David for her life , with remainder to the issue of the said intended marriage ; and on trust (as to Trewalter ) for George William and Barbara David , and the sur vivor of them for their lives (but subj ect to an annuity 05 en ett of 2 . yearly to the said J for her life in the event of her surviving John William Hugh) , with remainder to the issue of the intended marriage . John William Hugh covenanted to maintain George Will iam and Barbara

David , and any children they might have during the lifetime of John William Hugh , and also to bequeath to them all his household goods and implements . The father of the bride covenanted to give £2 0 as a marriage 8 portion for his daughter , of which sum £ was to be paid to John William Hugh , £3 to the bridegroom , and £9 towards discharging a mortgage on part of the settled property . It was also provided that in the event of the bride dying without issue within twelve months of the 2 0 marriage , the sum of £ was to be repaid to her father . The foregoing was the settlement of a yeoman farmer in k Pembro eshire , and is a fair example of settlements k made by persons in his ran of life , but in Cardiganshire and other parts of Wales and the Marches there are cases when the settled property consisted of only a single farmhouse , of the parents reserving the right to occupy certain rooms in the house , portions of the out buildings , and a part of the garden for their lives ; in other cases the bridegroom undertook to board and d lo ge his parents , or else to pay them a small annuity for their lives . k k Pembro eshire people , especially Pembro eshire j uries , have for years been noted for their clemency but apparently in b y - gone days this compassion did not in k all cases extend to shipwrec ed mariners , so far at all events as their goods were concerned . Among the P e ers o the Great S essi on s 1 6 1 - 2 t f for 9 , is a petition co from George Lately , of Pool , . Dorset , to the j ustices of the Great Sessions , stating that being the owner and 1 em b rokeshi re i n B - on e D 3 4 P y g ay s .

R esol uti on master of the ship , laden with coal and other P 001 2 commodities from Milford , he sailed for on Mar . k but was blown ashore at Newgale , Pembro eshire , where he was ‘ almost totally robbed and deprived of what the merciless waves had reduced him unto , by the more un merciful people of that n eighb ouhood H e

' therefore prayed to be allowed to sue i n form at t e mp em s

David Morse , J ames George , Howell Phillips , Richard

Phillips , and others , who did soe barbarously robe and carry away his goods . His petition was granted , but whether he obtained any com pensation is not revealed by the document . The parish Register of Nolton contains a most in ter esti n k Druid ston g account of a wrec ing catastrophe at , a n 1 1 in the parish of Nolton , on 4 J , 79 , in which eight wreckers were killed and several injured through an explosion of gunpowder in the cargo . In the same Register is recorded particulars of a later k wrec , written by Francis Warlow , a schoolmaster at Li n en Nolton , who states that another ship called the a ll H from Dublin , bound to the West Indies in ballast , h D 1 81 0 2 t ec . was stranded on the night of the 5 , , in Druid ston , that is , she was driven against the point the north side of a little creek under Druidston Cliff ; totally k wrec ed , no lives lost , little plundered she was torn up and the timber and rigging sold to the country people . From this it would appear that a considerable im provement in the customs and morals of the local k k 1 1 wrec ers has ta en place in the interval since 79 .

8s . k per annum , and li ewise held eight acres of demesne land near the castle at the yearly rent of 1 3 5 . 4d . In 1 02 l 3 he held the same mi l and land , and in addition the Tolsester1 the duty paid by tenants of some manors to the lord for liberty to brew and sell ale) of Ll an deil ovawr , the said tolchester being of the yearly 1 value of 05 . In 1 3 25 when the division of the property of Aymer

de Valence was made , among the tenants mentioned ’ was John Scorl agh who held half a knight s fee in Kil ’ kem or an - k Co tr ath , and one tenth part of a night s fee in y , both those places being in the south part of Pembroke 2 shire . It is thus clear that he held a substantial interest

in that county . It is quite possible that a member of the Scurlock il fam y may have crossed to Ireland , as many of the Normans and Pembrokeshire Welshmen in those days

crossed the channel to Ireland , and that a descendant

may have returned to Wales and settled in Cardigan . At all events the ﬁrst direct ancestor of the Carmarthen k h Scurloc s , of whom record has been found , is Jo n k Scurloc , senior , who was a tanner , residing in Cardigan .

His wife was Jane Gibbon , and he evidently died in good

l [T o b e con ti n ued i n Vo . ’ L ocal H i story from a Pri n ter s File

A . B Y LL M. JOHN BA INGER,

Mr A few years ago (about 1 9 1 2 ) I went with . Herbert

’ M office Ti v szde Adverti ser . Vaughan to the of the y , ’ fil es Cardigan , and inquired for the printer s old . We Mr were received very courteously by . Thomas , the grandson of the founder of the printing business , and eventually found in an attic thickly hung with cob 8 r M . fil es 1 82 1 6 . webs , the ranging from 5 to 5 Thomas l fil es readi y agreed to send the to the National Library , no doubt wondering that such lumber should be accepted . The work of cleaning and sorting the papers took a considerable time . Many were not only dirty , but had

f . su fered from rats , mice , and insects A printing ofﬁce is required by law to keep for a sp eciﬁed time a copy of everything it prints . This is generally done by stabbing ’ a copy of the printed j ob (often M hl with the S . copy) on a wire e 4 to 5 feet in length

- with a wooden stop at the bottom , and a bent over top with a sharp point for piercing the paper , exactly the pattern of the wire ﬁl e often used for accounts and

nl . other papers , o y much larger The usual plan is to ﬁl e use a for each year , starting with the new year . ’ The Cardigan printer s ﬁl es yielded a rich harvest of documents illustrating the life of the district during the interesting period foll owing the end of the Napoleonic of wars , and the coming the railways and other con ven i en ces which have changed the conditions of life even

in remote places . In quoting from the documents the punctuation and capitals of the originals have to some extent been pre ' 1 8 L ocal i stor rom a P ri n ter s i l 9 H y f F e .

correc served , inaccurate though they often are , and no tion of faulty grammar has been attempted . The long series of documents dealing with the coasting trade are important as showing the extent of that trade at one f k time , and the e forts to eep it going when other transport

facilities began to improve . In this connection the 1 D wi l n d a 1 1 Mr valuable account of e s a Co ster s m 75 by . ul i Francis Green sho d be referred to . It supplies deta ls of the nature of the cargoes carried by these coasting traders , not obtainable from the very different series

of papers here dealt with . A glimpse of the interest which is always excited b y the abnormal in nature is obtained from a quarto broad a d A won derful side advertising the Porcupine L . display

of nature . One of the greatest human curiosities in the ﬁn e whole world , the Cambrian Porcupine Lad , who is a k u healthy boy , of quic nderstanding , and amiable temper ,

nine years of age , three feet two inches high , born of di k Welsh parents , in the parish of Kilrhe n , Pembro e F shire , whose body (except his ace and the Palms of k k his Hands) is covered with a Dar Pric ly Substance ,

resembling the Coat of a Hedgehog or Porcupine , which off grows to the length of half an inch , then falls , leaving ﬂesh the root in the , and grows again it may be burned H e all or clipped off without injury . is a wonder to Physicians and Naturalists and all that have seen him k H e testify that they never saw the li e . will be ex hib ited [a blank space for inserting the name of the — 6 ki d . place].

Board for the Archdeaconry of Cardigan .

B k i n der oo b s . There is a small label dated as being 1 82 6 printed May 3 , , which states that Thomas John , k- di k Boo binder , Car gan , than s the inhabitants of the ’

on . town and its vicinity for the liberal support , and so k- In October of the same year David Williams , Boo binder , begs most respectfully to acquaint the inhabitants

‘ that he has just commenced Business in the above line and hopes by attention to merit their encouragement . It is di ﬁ cult to conceive how two book-binders could o earn a living in Cardigan in those days . S far as the hl es 1 8 1 disclose they had no competitor until 4 , when

B . James and E . Morris commenced business in Bridge 1 8 8 Street , while seven years later , 4 , Benj amin Davies , 1 8 0 commenced business in the same street , and in 5 we I gather that the encouragement . Edwards had already received from the Gentry of Cardigan and its neighbour hood , had induced him to commence Business in Mr partnership with . Tiley . Edwards and Tiley ’ nl f not o y o fered neat and elegant binding , but also ’ described themselves as Machine Rulers , possibly ﬁxin g a time for the ﬁrst setting up in Cardigan of a

- machine for paper ruling . Another circular announces k ‘ that John Jones , boo binder , has resumed business in ’ 1 8 8 his native place . The date is 5 . The word resumed is a triﬂe ambiguous . The recovery of a list of book binders who followed their craft in Cardigan from 1 82 6 to 1 858 or later is useful .

o l B ok S oci ety . The ﬁ e contains a number of documents k relating to the Cardigan Boo Society , including the ’ i r l 2 01 L ocal Hi story from a P r n te s Fi e . rules and lists of members covering most of the years — k from 1 83 8 1 865 . Each year the boo s were put up to auction at the annual meeting printed lists of the books k sold are on the ﬁl e . The Boo Society was started long 8 before 1 3 8 . Its operations were continued for a full century , and only ceased in quite recent years . The name 1 86 was changed about 0 to the Cardigan Reading Society .

There was another organisation , the Cardigan new Read 1 8 1 ing Society in existence in 5 , possibly earlier , it had twelve members , and may only have existed for a few years .

Li te a i t n d t r r S c en i c a Mecha n tcs I n sti tu e. y , fi , This 1 8 fil e institution , founded in 47 is represented on the by some papers , including a printed circular , undated , setting out the aims and obj ects of the institution , and a small broadside calling the annual meeting of members h D t ec . 86 2 . 2 1 8 1 0 s . for 7 , 5 In Titus Lewis , E q , i is announced to give a popular lecture at the Gu ldhall , fittin the proceeds to be applied towards g up a new room ,

M . F s . D and in the following year Robert owler , E q , of L On ondon , gave two lectures in aid of the funds , the ’ k distinguishing character of organized being . The ind of lectures i n ﬂi cted upon the people of Cardigan at an 1 82 6 an n oun c earlier date is shown by broadsides dated , Mc r r . M . . G G e o A . ing lectures by g Campbell , , etc , who f o fered as his topic , Religious , Civil , and Political ’

Economy , not in one , but a series of lectures , evidently ul as many as the public co d be induced to pay for , front 1 seats 2 / second seats / each reduced later to half . Mr c r r Evidently . M G ego did not receive the encourage ment he desired , notwithstanding that he relieved what u S must have been very d ll discourses with acred Music , l ’ iﬁ F . . exem ed Anthems , etc , p on the German lute In spite of the lure of the German Flute the people of

Cardigan were shy , as may be gathered from another r broadside by which M . Ca mpbell has the honour of informing the respectable Gentlemen who did him the ’ 2 02 L ocal H {stor rom a r i n ter s i l y f P F e. k indness of attending at the Hall , last evening , that k f he intends (for the last time) to ma e his last e forts , by endeavouring to collect a reasonable number of Audi tors together , assuring them that , if there be but thirty persons present , he will positively deliver his discourse His object being a desire of courting Public enquiry ; he trusts and hopes that the respectable inhabitants of f ’ Cardigan will a ford him the opportunity of being heard . 1 (The cap tals and punctuation are as in the original . )

R oa d Tr an s ort p . A study of transport for people and goods before the railways is of importance in relation

to economic history . In order to obtain a reliable basis for the study of economic development or lack of develop

ment of any district , it is essential to have details of R . e transport facilities , whether by road , rail , or sea

cords of road transport , prior to the coming of railways ,

are already scarce . Any documents , therefore , which

throw light on early transport , ought to be carefully

preserved . The earliest document under this head is dated 1 82 9 , but it was not printed at Cardigan , and it deals

with Abergavenny . Benj amin Anthony informs the k - in - public that he has ta en his son law , Thomas Bevan , k into partnership , and bespea s a continuance of public rm - patronage for the ﬁ . A most commodious Tram way conveyance has just been commenced between Hereford

and Abergavenny , which will ensure safe and speedy

delivery of goods to and from London , Liverp ool , Man Sheﬂi el d chester , Birmingham , and , at prices considerably

below the usual stage charges . th 1 8 1 A circular letter , bearing date July 9 , 3 , par ti cul arly requests attendance at a meeting to be held

at the Town Hall , Cardigan , for the purpose of examining m i the accounts of the Regulator Coach , and to deter ne r n h whether the coach shall continue to u . W ether the

a . m . m W at 7 , running to Cry mych Arms , here passengers woul d transfer to the coach from Cardigan for Narberth oa d R .

In another notice of about the same date , one John

Thomas complains that , having commenced business as a General Carrier between Cardigan and Narberth Road S tation , the railway company refuse to deliver to him ’ any goods unless sp eci ally a ddr essed by my waggon . H e on goes , I hope you will therefore sympathise with me under such cruel and unjust treatment ; and be — ohn Thom as careful to address all your goods Per j , the company and other persons having combined to mon ’ o oli z e p the road . 1 8 2 In June , 5 , coach communication was established w between Cardigan , Aberayron , and Aberyst yth , by k Cummins , Weston , and Par er , from Cardigan every monday , wednesday , and friday , returning on the alter ’ ﬁr nate days . The same m ran a coach from Cardigan Via Fish u ar d g to Haverfordwest and Milford Haven , three k days wee ly each way .

R l th 1 8 8 a i wa bw eets . . 2 y g j A notice dated Oct 7 , 5 , signed by the Mayor of Cardigan , convenes a public meeting in compliance with a requis ition made by numerous shareholders in the Carmarthen and Cardigan railway , for the purpose of conferring on the subj ect of the circular lately issued by the directors , giving notice of an extraordinary meeting at Carmarthen on the 3 r d of November . What the trouble was is not stated , but a Carmarthen and Cardigan direct railway has not yet ill been constructed . Two posters relate to another i starred railway proj ect , described as the M lford , Fish l guard , and Cardigan Junction rai way , to complete the through route from Manchester to Milford with an un ’ 1 86 0 k . bro en narrow gauge In October , , the Mayor of Cardigan announces a public meeting to promote the ’ i l L ocal Hi story from a P ri n ter s F e . 2 05

above railway proj ect , which will be so conducive to ’ the interests of this district . The second poster , dated

November , announces the holding of meetings for the same purpose , and for the purpose of getting persons k ’ to ta e shares therein . Meetings were held at Kilgerran , Moil rove P on tresell g , Eglwyswrw , Boncath , y , Llechryd , ' P en llw n du St . . At y , Dogmael s , and Aberporth that time the dream of Milford as a great port for the shipment of Manchester goods was very much in evidence .

S ea T reﬂected ra n sp ort. Neither road nor rail the true out - look of the people of Cardigan of ﬁfty and a hundred years ago . They were more familiar with the

- sea and sailing ships , small but well built craft , which the seamen of the Cardigan coast knew how to handl e ’ ﬁl e in fair weather and in rough . This printer s contains a wealth of documents which show the former importance

- of Cardigan as a sea port , and the great part which the sea played in the lives of the people there . Vessels changed owners as freely in those old days as motor

- cars and motor cycles in ours . Over one hundred and thirty broadsides in this collection deal with the sale F of ships , mainly at Cardigan , but including sales at ish ’

St . guard , New Quay , Dogmell s , Aberaeron , Newport

P P o it . em . , p , and other places in the locality The vessels

ﬁft . were of various sizes , the maj ority under y tons A cl assiﬁcation of size for 93 vessels sold gives the follow ing result

2 5 tons and under b etween 2 5 and 50 tons 50 and 75 tons 75 and 1 00 tons 1 00 and 1 50 tons 1 50 and 2 00 tons over 2 00 tons ’ 2 06 L ocal H i stor rom a P ri n ter s the y f F .

The vessel classed as over 2 00 tons is given in the sale bill as 2 99 tons . What was the nature of the carrying trade performed by these sea—going craft ? Some documents enabl e at least a partial answer to be made . F r 1 82 . o May , 7 Bristol , direct , now loading at an d Cardigan Quay , will sail immediately ; a constant

- k M A I wr . . trader , the new fast sailing smac , y , John Grifﬁths E x edi ti on , commander (late of the trader p ) . — N B . . The above named commander hereby engages to k k Mm r - w eep his said smac , y , as a regular trade bet een

Bristol and Cardigan henceforth , and not to remain a 1 8 l longer period than days loading at Bristo , at any one 1 8 time (that is to say) , to clear out on the th day after his entry outwards at the Customhouse there , with or without a ful l and complete cargo (reservi ng to himself the power of clearing out on any day , previous to the

1 8th day , if a full and complete cargo be on board the said vessel) , or forfeit the sum of Twenty Pounds to any shipper or shippers on the said vessel from time to time . Due notice will be given by the Cardigan crier of the day of the said Trader ’s entry outwards at the Custom k house Bristol , to enable parties to now the certain day ’ of departure from there . A poster dated 1 83 0 records that a meeting of mer chants and shopkeepers was held to consider the best mode to be adopted for regulating the time for loading k m em and sailing of the smac s M y and H , trading between was Cardigan and Bristol . Agreement reached , the respective managing owners of the two smacks concurring . Each vessel was to have eighteen days after berthing at

Bristol in which to load , after which loading was to

. cease , and the vessel proceed to Cardigan Both vessels agreed that should either arrive in Bristol during the time the other is discharging or loading , she is not to take any goods on board until the time limit of the k k other has expired . The Bellman is to ma e nown in Cardi gan twice on two successive days the time when

The printed notice is dated eight days before the steamer is due to k suffi cien t arrive , not , one would thin , time for securing fir . st passengers and cargo Incidentally , it is the indication that steam vessels might some day displace the local sailing ships . The announcement received a cold welcome . No further reference to steam propelled vessels for the port of Cardigan is found until twenty 1 8 one years later , 59 , when the Mayor in compliance with a requisition from certain ratepayers convened a public meeting to consider the propriety of establishing a communication between Cardigan and Bristol by means of a steamer . Steam Packet communication between Bristol and

Carmarthen , and between Bristol and Haverfordwest

(and places adj acent) , was established much earlier , as ﬁl is shown by a small poster on the e . This was not i ’ printed at Cardigan , the imprint being Rose , pr nter . 8 1 0 .

of Parliament . The names and tonnage of seven vessels sail ing from Liverpool to New York are given ; they 6 1 1 range in size from 41 to 40 tons .

The details just quoted , and the wording of the posters suggest that emigrants found the voyage to the States a trying business , and that promises of improved condi tions and better despatch were necessary in order to induce people to emigrate .
