The History of St Dwynwen’s Day

In a tale which goes back to the 5th century, Dwynwen fell in love with a prince but sadly, her father had already arranged for her to be married to another suitor. Dwynwen was so upset that she she begged God to make her forget him. Then, after falling asleep, Dwynwen was visited by an angel with a potion designed to erase all memory of the prince and turn him into a block of ice.

God then gave Dwynwen three wishes. Her first was for the prince to be thawed. Her second was for God meet the hopes and dreams of true lovers. And for her third wish, she asked that she should never marry. All three were fulfilled, and as a mark of her thanks, Dwynwen devoted herself to God’s service for the rest of her life.


From humble beginnings in a small garden shed, Slate House has become a trusted Welsh business with a reputation for skilfully handcrafting exceptional quality products.  When you buy a Slate House product, you are supporting a growing Welsh business.

Each Welsh slate heart hanging sign is hand cut to give a natural rustic, chipped edge.

If slate becomes marked or faded, use soft side of a sponge to wipe slate with food-safe oil (eg. Olive oil, sunflower oil, etc).


Please note that as slate is a natural product it may contain fool's gold, which is a natural pyrite that forms within the slate. It is not a defect and we cannot guarantee that your slate item will not contain it.
