A Book On Nevern

Out Of Print... This is an engaging and thorough description of the contemporary and historical Welsh parish of Nevern (county Pembrokeshire). Full of maps and black-and-white photos, this book is great for those with specific personal or research interests into the history of rural Wales, as exemplfied by this small but long-inhabited community. Dillwyn Miles uses his extensive knowledge of both Welsh history and this particular community to describe widely notable figures from this region, like George Owen of Henllys, and to explain the significance of local place names and farm estates. Using sources ranging from history texts and parish records to British Ordnance Surveys, the author also provides the reader with great bibliographic references.
