St. David's and Dewisland: A Social History

Founded during the sixth century on the banks of the River Alun in what is now Pembrokeshire, the parish of Saint David, the patron saint of Wales, is one of the largest in West Wales. In St. David’s and Dewisland, David W. James offers a comprehensive social history of the parish and the land it occupies, also known as Dewisland—the Land of David. The volume covers the parish’s early days—when it was a division of the Celtic Kingdom of Dyfed—through to modernity, detailing the development of this colorful community against the backdrop of the broader history of Wales and Western Europe.
