Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
A survey in 1776 recorded almost 2,000 parish workhouses operating in England, while the number in Wales was just nineteen. The New Poor Law of 1834 proved equally unattractive in much of Wales – some parts of the country resisted providing a workhouse until the 1870s, with Rhayader in Radnorshire being the last area in the whole of England and Wales to do so. Our image of these institutions has often been coloured by the work of authors such as Charles Dickens, but what was the reality? Where exactly were these workhouses located – and what happened to them? People are often surprised to discover that a familiar building was once a workhouse. Revealing locations steeped in social history, Workhouses of Wales and the Welsh Borders is a comprehensive and copiously illustrated guide to the workhouses that were set up across Wales and the border counties of Cheshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire. It provides an insight into the contemporary attitudes towards such institutions as well as their construction and administration, what life was like for the inmates, and where to find their records today.

Book Description
Excerpt from Old Cowbridge Borough, Church, and School It has been my happy experience, my Lord, that such matters interest not only the rich man in his castle, but the poor man at his gate no less, and amongst the subscribers to this work will be found the names of many of such, to whom 12s. 6d. means much, but whose appreciation I greatly value. The work is an expansion of sermons, addresses, and lectures delivered from time to time during the course of my duties as parish priest of your cure and mine, and as your rural dean, and, therefore, I feel there is no person to whom I could more appropriately dedicate my book than to my Bishop, whose Apostolic labours and gentleness of character are an example to us all. I have the honour to be, my Lord, With much respect, Yours sincerely and dutifully, L. J. Hopkin-James. Llanblethian Vicarage, Cowbridge. All Saints Day, 1922.
