This is the story of Gwendoline and Margaret Davies, whose grandfather was a millionaire railway contractor and bridge builder, and who inherited half a million pounds each. Unique among their wealthy contemporaries, the two sisters devoted their large fortune to fostering the culture of their native Wales. In 1920 they bought Gregynog, with the intention of establishing a craft commune but in the event it became a centre devoted to music, printing and sculpture.
