In 1930, she founded the Ty Gwyn Charity Convalescent Home at Llwyngwril, Merionethshire, which was intended to benefit ill-nourished girls, especially those from South Wales. It ran until 1961, and a similar venture, the White House charity at Folkestone in Kent, ran from 1928 until 1963. Margaret Davies also founded the Boverton Girls' Camp and Hafod Rest Home, near Llantwit Major, Glamorgan, in 1932. Boverton was a summer recreation camp for girls from mining areas, whilst Hafod catered for women related to employees of the Ocean Coal Company. Both were closed in 1949.

  • Love, Money and Art: the Davies Sisters and a Fortune for Wales
    127 LOVE, MONEY AND ART: THE DAVIES SISTERS AND A FORTUNE FOR WALES Trevor Fishlock The story of Gwendoline (1882–1951) and Margaret Davies (1884–1963) reflects an age in Wales. They grew up in the late-Victorian years of industrial, political, and cultural combustion, their later lives mirrored in the wars and social upheaval of the first half of the twentieth century. Their collection of remarkable paintings and sculptures, works of international standing, was their enduring achievement. This they gave to the people of Wales. Their saga is not, I think, widely known in their own country. David Davies (1818–1890), their grandfather, was an unschooled Montgomeryshire farm boy whose ambition, faith, and energy moulded him into an heroic figure. His rock was Calvinistic Methodism. His wealth helped to modernize Wales and in considerable measure assisted the transformation of its culture. Davies was the eldest of ten children. He worked on his father’s Llandinam hill farm and prospered as a tree feller and sawyer, then as a reliable contractor who completed projects on time and to budget. In 1855 he became a railway engineer and built seven lines in Wales, most famously a link through the Cambrian mountains to the west coast. In 1864 he entered new territory as a Rhondda coal magnate. He delighted in his status as one of the landowning gentry. Finally, in 1884, he led Rhondda colliery owners in their battle to break the Bute monopoly in coal exports and built a new dock at Barry. Such was his celebrity that a newspaper offered photo portraits of him for five shillings.

The Belgians were in general not seen as a threat. At that time it was clear that their stay would be temporary.2 Once the refugees arrived in Folkestone, for instance, they were transported to London by train (Fig. 2). There they were registered at the offices of the War Refugee Committee in the General Building of Aldwych in London. This committee sought to house, clothe and provide for the Belgians.

  • The Davies Family and Belgian Refugee Artists & Musicians in Wales
    The Davies family and Belgian refugee artists & musicians in Wales [Cylchgrawn Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / National Library of Wales Journal Rhifyn Cyf. 22, rh. 2 (Gaeaf 1981), p. 226-233.] http://welshjournals.llgc.org.uk/browse/viewpage/llgc-id:1277425/llgc-id:1286537/llgc- id:1286637/getText THE Davies family of Llandinam owed their wealth to David Davies who had made a vast fortune with coal and railway interests in the 19th Century. The grandchildren, David Davies (later the first Lord Davies), Gwendoline and Margaret Davies all developed strong philanthropic interests and a desire to use their money for the benefit of Wales. In September 1914 the Davies family decided to invite Belgian refugee artists and musicians to settle in Mid-Wales. I hope to demonstrate how this encouragement and financial support was seen not just as a form of patronage towards Belgian artists but as a means of furthering their family's hopes of a cultural renewal in Wales. In early October 1914 Gwendoline Davies wrote: 'My sister and I together with Professor Tom Jones went to Alexandra Palace the week before last in search for refugees. Our original intention was to get people of the artisan or trades people class but we found that the Roman Catholics are most vigilant and are preventing these people as far as possible from being taken into Protestant homes.'1 They had heard that many Belgians of the educated classes were also stranded and it was arranged that a party should go over to Belgium to make contact directly. The arrival of the Belgians in Aberystwyth was announced in the local papers on October 7th 1914.
