This plaque was placed to honour Lois Blake, who was the driving force behind the revival of Welsh folk dancing in the 1930's. She was an Englishwoman who moved from Liverpool, where she had been a member of the English Folk Dance Society. On moving to Llangwm, she was amazed to find that very few folk dances were performed in Wales and she set about researching Welsh dances and dancing. She became a founded member and first president of the Welsh Folk Dance Society. The plaque was unveiled by her daughter Felicity, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Welsh Folk Dance Society.
