  • JOSEPH MATTHIAS of HAVERFORDWEST, PEMBROKESHIRE, 1771-1835) Luke Millar
    JOSEPH MATTHIAS OF HAVERFORDWEST, PEMBROKESHIRE, 1771-1835) Luke Millar Although furniture making was the defining activity of the cabinet maker, many regional firms in fact provided a wide range of services to their communities, varying according to the size and location of the firm and the enterprise and skills of its proprietor. It can be misleading to confine one’s investigations to furniture alone, because the relative quality, size and status of the firm is reflected by all its activities. The range of activities found among firms in South West Wales in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, who defined themselves primarily as cabinet makers, covers principally upholstery (including furnishings and room decorations), joinery, building, architecture to at least a minor extent, undertaking, valuing and auctioneering. Occasionally too we find wheelwright and carriage building, timber merchant, and combinations with other businesses such as inkeeper, ironmonger, or grocer. The object of this article is to study the activities of one such firm, comparing it where appropriate with others in the same district and period. Joseph Matthias is well suited for such a study because he had a high status in his community, covered a very wide range of activities including undertaking and carriage building, and worked in a town, Haverfordwest, which was wealthy and displayed high standards in its architecture and cabinet making. In addition, when he retired from cabinet making in 1830 and sold his business, he left an inventory of the whole stock of goods and materials on his premises. This is given in its entirety at the end of this article, and reference will be made to its contents as evidence of the varied nature of his work.

Whether they mounted their attacks from the north or the south, when Norman barons invaded Wales after the Norman Conquest of 1066, they almost invariably ended up in West Wales and consolidated their position by building fortresses. Initially, these were simple “motte and bailey” constructions, typically built on a mound with ditches and/or wooden barricades for protection.

  • “Marshal Towers” in South-West Wales: Innovation, Emulation and Mimicry
    “Marshal towers” in South-West Wales: Innovation, Emulation and Mimicry “Marshal towers” in South-West Wales: Innovation, Emulation and Mimicry John Wiles THE CASTLE STUDIES GROUP JOURNAL NO 27: 2013-14 181 “Marshal towers” in South-West Wales: Innovation, Emulation and Mimicry Historical context Earl William the Marshal (d. 1219) was the very flower of knighthood and England’s mightiest vassal.4 He had married the de Clare heiress in 1189 gaining vast estates that included Netherwent, with Chepstow and Usk castles, as well as the great Irish lordship of Leinster. He was granted Pembroke and the earldom that went with it at King John’s acces- sion in 1199, probably gaining possession on his first visit to his Irish lands in 1200/01.5 Although effec- tively exiled or retired to Ireland between 1207 and 1211 (Crouch, 2002, 101-115), the Marshal consoli- dated and expanded his position in south-west Wales, acquiring Cilgerran by conquest (1204) and Haver- fordwest by grant (1213), as well as gaining custody of Cardigan, Carmarthen and Gower (1214). In 1215, however, whilst the Marshal, soon to be regent, was taken up with the wars in England, a winter campaign led by Llywelyn ap Iorwerth of Gwynedd ushered in a Welsh resurgence, so that at the Marshal’s death all save the Pembroke lordship, with Haverfordwest, had been lost. Llywelyn, who had been granted cus- tody of Cardigan and Carmarthen in 1218, returned to devastate the region in 1220, again destroying many of its castles.6 Fig 1.

  • THE NEWS of DINAS 1894 – 1900 Transcribed from the COUNTY ECHO
    THE NEWS OF DINAS 1894 – 1900 transcribed from THE COUNTY ECHO DINAS HISTORY SERIES his book is a transcription of all the Dinas news items from The County Echo, a Fishguard-based newspaper, for the years 1894, Twhen the newspaper commenced publication, to 1900 inclusive. The content is remarkable for its comprehensive coverage of village life. The correspondent(s), perhaps unwittingly, produced a social history of Dinas in the last seven years of the nineteenth century, one which almost reads, without editorial help, as a connected narrative. A picture emerges of a lively, sometimes controversial, but confident community in the far-south-western fringe of Wales at the very end of the Victorian era. The way of life recorded is both rural and truly parochial, but always tempered with the globe-trotting adventures and tragedies of the many sailors and master mariners from the village. This was still the age of the horse and cart, with bicycles being a novelty. Chapel and church life, along with deferential accounts of the clergy involved, inevitably take a prominent part in the narrative as do the fulsome accounts of funerals and tragedies; however, social innovation in the form of a Regatta in 1899 is proudly recorded. The Temperance Movement, so vitally important at the turn of the century, is faithfully described in its manifestations from hayfield to chapel. The text is presented without editing or alteration, variable spellings and local usage being preserved; where some doubt exists over the original, then the editorial convention of square brackets is used. Only one comment is made and that to explain a deliberate policy of concealment by the correspondent.
