Methodist Diary and Pocket Book belonging to John Jones, Pencae Villa, Taliesin. This John Jones appears in the 1911 Wales Census Summary Book, but not in the census itself. He mentions Lil, possibly his wife, and children, who do not live at home. The diary is detailed and clearly written, mentioning household events such as washing and cleaning and the delivery of coal and manure. It opens with an account of deaths and funerals throughout the year, noting attendance and use of hearse. There is frequent mention of Club and Parish Council meetings, the results of elections are noted, as is the death and burial of Edward VII, as well as local news. Jones has bee 'skips', at least one field, sometimes let for grazing, sells his hay and cuts hurdles in the woods, rolling the bundles down. He also rents out 'Oak Cottage'. The diary ends with a gardening summary listing plantings.
