The Rhys, Rice and Dynevor Families of Dinefwr Castle and Newton House by David TR Lewis
This fascinating book by David TR Lewis is a very thorough look at the origin and history of the Rhys/Rice family of Dynevor, for centuries one of the pre-eminent families in Carmarthenshire.
It describes the family and other seats and houses in which their wider families resided, and of the social, political, military and economic times in which they lived.
Including family pedigrees and maps, and over 300 old and new photos.
Spanning from their origins to the 20th Century, this book covers a large amount of content and topic in addition to that of the immediate Dinefwr Castle and Newton House, and includes a look at sporting activities, the Parish Churches, community life, the farming calendar, local festivals, fairs and shows and a whole lot more.
This book is over 500 pages, and incredibly for every book sold, David TR Lewis is donating £20 to the National Trust for the planting of trees in Dynevor Park to celebrate HM The Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
