The 200 images in this book have been selected from the extensive archive of the National Monuments Record of Wales. They take us inside the houses of Wales from prehistory to the modern day. From the simple interiors of the humblest cottages and urban terraces through to the elaborately decorated rooms of the great country houses, they provide a rare glimpse behind closed doors and give a unique insight into the ways people have lived their day-to-day lives in Wales.

Trefor M. Owen’s seminal work educates, enlightens and entertains with a far-reaching yet accessible text, which paints a colourful and comprehensive portrait of a nation’s rich folk culture. The Customs and Traditions of Wales is an illuminating and engrossing insight into a subject that continues to unfold and develop in contemporary life. Despite an increasingly globalised society that has transformed local communities, folk customs are still practised and enjoyed the world over as people combine modern-day and historical rituals and embrace opportunities to learn about their past, and Owen’s influential study has maintained its relevance as customs change and evolve.
