"Remarks: torn . . . Lords day in this Town is but very little regarded as a day for spiritual worship lick houses are allowed to be open, and frequented during Divine Service. Publick [houses are very numerous in this place, and even the Town Clerk keeps a . . . publick house. Often times on the Lord's day we are not only hear cursing and . . . once swearing in our streets, but frequently we see most brutal fighting, and . . . taken thereof by the authority of the Town. This is the cause why places [of worship are so little frequented and religion so little appreciated and professed at Kidwelly." Thomas Griffiths, Vicar [http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/CMN/Kidwelly/]
