Lady Llanover, Augusta Waddington Hall (1802-1896), of Llanover House (near Abergavenny), referred to above, was renowned in Wales for her dedication to Welsh culture, although born to parents who had moved to Wales from Nottingham in 1792. She was a folklorist (some say 'Victorian idealist'). She was the patron of many Welsh poets and musicians, and also supported the culture by organizing festivals, holding dances in her home, and cataloging traditional costumes. She even went so far as to insist that the employees on her estate spoke Welsh and dressed in what she considered 'traditional' Welsh garb, and employed a Welsh harper. Lady Llanover was also famous for her temperance enthusiasm, and bought up public houses to turn into coffee-houses.
