I would definitely recommend Hall of Names.The scrolls are easily one of my best-selling products and their system is so easy to use. Customers love the prints and often buy more than one.
Amazing product. Also cannot fault the wonderful customer service and help I received.
Thanks you so much you do amazing work so professional.
We visited your shop attached to Pembroke Castle. The young lady who guided us through the process was brilliant and so knowledgeable. We bought 3 names with her and when we got home I purchased 2 duplicate sets to send to my daughters.
Very well presented. Detailed background knowledge – very happy with the final product. I’ve bought the surname history print twice now for gifts and I’ll be buying more in the future.
I purchased this as an anniversary gift to my husband and it was an absolute hit! He was over the moon, we’d seen these at Bristol’s Christmas market.
Delighted with the print – a wedding gift for our son and fiancee whose wedding is at a Norman castle so it seemed a fitting memento of their day.
This is a high quality product, well made with quality materials, I would recommend without any hesitation.
Beautiful product. I can’t wait to put it up on my wall along with my two coats of arms.
I have never been anything but impressed both by the standard of quality and those representing the company – so thank you.
It is a pleasure to meet a company that prides itself with customer service. And I find the product very pleasing too.

Very pleased with the presents for our anniversary. My wife was overjoyed when she saw them!
Very happy with my purchase, will definitely be buying again.
The whole process was very quick. I have used them before and will go back again as I complete my research.
This is by far the best business I’ve had, just fantastic. Everyone who comes in loves them! I get lots of repeat business and referrals and would happily recommend. Just look at the product – it’s brilliant!
We sell a good number of certificates to visitors coming into the castle. The Hall of Names team are always on hand and are very efficient. They have also helped design banners and other advertising for us. I can highly recommend the company.
I’ve been involved with Hall of Names for more than 15 years. They are real professionals and the system itself is very good. Customers love the fact that they can easily find out all about their name. I’d definitely recommend it.
We find Hall of Names to be a fantastic product, and a really lovely way to engage our guests. Guests head to the open books to search for their name, which provides a great point of interaction for our staff. Our guests are often fascinated with what they discover, and we’re proud to tell them how well-researched the product is. Hall of Names is such a personal product, and we love it!
