Where did it all start? How did Whitchurch become the village we know today? How well do you know it? Of all the districts that now make up the City of Cardiff, none can match the history of Whitchurch. It was once the land of ancient Britons and tribal Welsh before being occupied by the Romans and later the Anglo-Normans. From battlefield savagery to heavy industry to elegant flower shows, One Man's Whitchurch offers a unique take on the past, both ancient and modern, of this fascinating settlement. Based on reliable sources, One Man's Whitchurch overcomes the confusing and often misleading narrative of older material. It doesn't rewrite history, but offers an alternative view, interpreting the past in order to home in on the truth. A small number of influential people laid the foundations for this part of South Wales, but life was far from easy for our ancestors. One Man's Whitchurch lays bare the difficulties faced by everyday working people, passing on the memories of generations now lost to time for the benefit of generations of today and the future. If you have a fascination for history and heritage, or simply love your local area, you will find plenty to delight you in this treasure of a book.
