1It is not difficult to find lists of chapels for sale in Wales, suitable for conversion—a term more used nowadays by estate agents than pastors—to ‘heavenly’ homes.

2The dog-in-the-manger attitude to pleasure of Welsh religion is succinctly captured in the only specifically Welsh joke that I know. A young man asks the preacher whether it is permissible to have sex on Sundays. The preacher thinks for a moment and then replies, ‘Yes, so long as you don’t enjoy it.’

14 ‘I feel it more’: D.H. Lawrence
