'This volume is an important addition to the growing canon of Welsh historic literature and a precious pearl in the book list of the University of Wales Press - all for the cost of a good shirt.' The Western Mail 'The people of Gwent have been well served both by the high quality and the impressive speed of production of the successive volumes of their county history under the inspired general editorship of Ralph A. Griffiths. The volume is exquisitely produced, edited throughout to the highest standards, and contains many marvelous pictures and photographs, together with relevant maps and tables which are genuinely helpful and complimentary to the text. The publication of the first three volumes in this series reflects the vision and ambition of the Gwent County History Association and University of Wales Press.' J. Graham Jones, Planet, Oct 2009
