St. David's and Dewisland - A Social History (ISBN 0-7083-0797-3)
This is the story of a village which is also a city. It is the story of a parish which is commensurate with an ancient division of a Celtic kingdom, part of the cantref of Pebidiog, itself part of the ancient Celtic Kingdom of Dyfed. St. David's and Dewisland is a comprehensive social history of a parish grounded in a rich antiquity; intensely conservative and at the same time subjected by history to enormous change; central and isolated; Celtic and Norman; austere; once rich, then poor. And throughout, in some form or other, a place of pilgrimage.
` . . . an exceedingly interesting history of a place in which many ingredients -ecclesiastical, social, agricultural, commercial, for example - have been mingled over many centuries of continuous occupation . . . written in a clear, ordered and attractive way. It will be read with interest and profit by anyone interested in local history and its appeal will certainly extend far beyond the borders of Dyfed.' (Arcade)
