About Me







Hello, I am Louvain! I am a social historian, writer and all-around graveyard ghoul living in Wales. 

I have been writing about the history of Bridgend (and now the wider area) since 2012. I work as a social historian specializing in Death, Mourning and Commemoration in Wales. 

I use this little corner of the world wide web to share my historical research and ramblings. I write about historic buildings, churchyards, people and whatever takes my fancy, 

But, for the most part, I like to write about people. I like to be able to look at a gravestone, a photograph or a historical document and have some sort of concept of who that person was, what they did and what their life was like.


I hope that you will enjoy my historical ramblings!
