TOLL HOUSE QUEST
Sir,
Since coming to live in Llandeilo over two years ago, I have become interested in the house formerly known as New Inn situated on the Llandeilo-Talley road.

I have been told that it was once a toll-house, but have been unable to find any reference to it in anything I have read. I would be grateful to hear from anybody who could recommend any kind of reading matter or send me any information which would satisfy my curiosity over the history of the house.

(Mrs.) C. LEWIS, Gwynea, Llandeilo.

A NEW GUIDE TO AN OLD CHURCH
Recently published is a new guide book to St. Peter's Parish Church, Carmarthen by Joyce and Victor Lodwick. As the authors point out, it is nearly forty years since T. E. Brigstocke brought out the last edition of his Notes for Visitors and their own contribution is designed to meet the need for an up-to-date guide.

Nicely produced, the booklet includes a summary of the church's history, a description of the building and references to the numerous memorials. In addition to a plan of the church, there are a number of illustrations, including some new drawings by Edith Lodwick, whose work will be familiar to readers of The Carmarthenshire Historian. It will be a helpful guide to visitors and a convenient little reference book for those more familiar with the town's ancient church.

A NEW PRICE FOR AN OLD CHARGE
The modest price of The Carmarthenshire Historian was fixed in 1960, since when rising costs have become an increasing burden and it is now necessary to charge 4s. per copy. This necessity is regretted, but it is hoped that one result will ensure a better distribution.

Volumes I to IV are now out of print, but copies of Volumes V and VI are still available from the Carmarthenshire Community Council, 16a Guildhall Square, Carmarthen at 3s each, post free.
