This shows the interior of the main living room of Kennixton farmhouse, originally from Llangennith, Gower, which has been rebuilt at the Museum of Welsh Life, St. Fagans. One of the main features of the room is the built-in box-bed situated in a recess next to the fireplace (left side of image). When in use, the cupboard-bed doors would be closed, as they are here, but provision was made for ventilation in the form of decorative pierced panels above. Another interesting feature about this particular example is that it has an attached settle for daytime use. Most of the few surviving examples of box-beds have been recorded within Gower farmhouses, suggesting that the tradition may have been more common here than in other parts of Wales.
