G2180 GAT REPORT NO. 1370 Report and Gazetteer SUMMARY This report describes the results of a study, carried out by Gwynedd Archaeological Trust and grant aided by Cadw, of First World War sites in north-west Wales coming under the theme of “infrastructure and support”. It focuses particularly on the military and auxiliary hospitals in the area but also looks at a range of activities that local people in north-west Wales undertook to help the war effort. This includes efforts to increase in food production and forestry, the work of local societies and the use of existing buildings to accommodate soldiers during training and %elgian refugees. 2ver all sites have been identi¿ed and included in the ga]etteer appendix I . All the sites are included in an Access database to assist inclusion into the HER, and there is an accompanying MapInfo table of polygons. The history and background of these sites are considered and their current condition was checked and recorded at a basic level. The work for this proMect was undertaken in the ¿nancial year -. Mae’r adroddiad hwn yn disgri¿o canlyniadau astudiaeth, a gynhaliwyd gan Ymddiriedolaeth Archaeolegol Gwynedd gyda chymorth grant gan Cadw, o saÀeoedd Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf yng ngogledd-orllewin Cymru dan y thema “isadeiledd a chefnogaeth.” Mae’n canolbwyntio’n benodol ar yr ysbytai milwrol ac ategol yn yr ardal, ond hefyd yn edrych ar ystod o weithgareddau y gwnaeth pobl leol yng Ngogledd-orllewin Cymru ymgymryd â nhw i helpu ymdrech y rhyfel. Roedd hyn yn cynnwys ymdrechion i gynyddu cynhyrchu bwyd a choedwigaeth, gwaith cymdeithasau lleol a defnyddio adeiladau presennol i letya ffoaduriaid o Wlad Belg a milwyr yn ystod hyfforddiant. Mae dros 93 o saÀeoedd wedi cael eu hadnabod a’u cynnwys yn y mynegai daearyddol (atodiad I). Mae’r holl saÀeoedd wedi cael eu cynnwys mewn cronfa ddata Access i gynorthwyo eu cynnwys yn y Cofnod Amgylchedd Hanesyddol (HER) ac mae yna dabl MapInfo o bolygonau. Mae hanes a chefndir y saÀeoedd hyn yn cael eu hystyried a chafodd eu cyÀwr presennol ei wirio a’i gofnodi ar lefel sylfaenol. Cafodd y gwaith ar y prosiect hwn ei wneud yn ystod y Àwyddyn ariannol 2016-17. 1. INTRODUCTION This project is part of a pan-Wales initiative to identify and record the most signi¿cant elements of twentieth century military architecture across the country and to inform designation and management priorities. With the centenary of the First World War sites of this period are the focus of the project for 2014 to 2018. The 2013-14 phase of the project comprised a programme of baseline data collection and a pilot ¿eld study. From 2014 the project is to focus each year on a theme identi¿ed in the CBA publication Modern Military Matters (Scho¿eld 2004). These are listed as:- Military landscapes Research and Development and manufacturing Infrastructure and support Operations Commemoration For the year 2016-17 the theme was Infrastructure and Support. A major focus for this theme has been hospitals and convalescent homes as many hundreds of thousands of wounded soldiers required nursing after being returned from the front.

  • Senedd Petition Response 17:02:20
    Lôn Las Môn For the attention of Mr Ross Davies Dirprwy Glerc, Y Pwyllgor Deisebau, Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru Deputy Clerk, Petitions Committee, National Assembly for Wales P-05-913 - Pwyllgor Deisebau 21.01.20 / Petitions Committee 21.01.20 Date 17th February 2020 Dear Sirs, Madam We would like to respond as follows to the letters & enclosures from Isle of Anglesey Council & Mr Ken Skates AM as follows: 1. Letters from Isle of Anglesey Chief Executive Annwen Morgan, Huw Percy Head of Highways are rather disappointing as they do not even offer an opinion as to the merits or not of the creation of a Multiuse Path across the island & the potential benefits it could bring, from health, fitness, disabled & adaptive cycling & many other uses other than just tourism, which at best the Heritage Railway can only offer a very narrow benefit to the island. It is rather at odds that the Anglesey Local Access Forum (a subcommittee of the Council) who we presented our scheme to in November which gave Lôn Las Môn a unanimous vote of approval. As have three Community Councils along its route. As this is a scheme to be run by Lôn Las Môn CIC, we are not looking for Isle of Anglesey to run or manage the project, we just need their support and not to oppose clearly what would be a benefit to the island and a whole. 2. We are aware of the consultation between Network Rail & the Welsh Government on the proposed lease of the railway in June 2016 with an associated 3 month rolling termination provision.

He was unsuccessful, but nevertheless managed to John Leland save much material from St. Augustine’s Abbey at Canterbury. The English antiquary John Leland or Leyland, sometimes referred to as ‘Junior’ to In 1545, after the completion of his tour, he presented an account of his distinguish him from an elder brother also named John, was born in London about achievements and future plans to the King, in the form of an address entitled ‘A New 1506, probably into a Lancashire family.1 He was educated at St. Paul’s school under Year’s Gift’. These included a projected Topography of England, a fifty volume work the noted scholar William Lily, where he enjoyed the patronage of a certain Thomas on the Antiquities and Civil History of Britain, a six volume Survey of the islands Myles. From there he proceeded to Christ’s College, Cambridge where he graduated adjoining Britain (including the Isle of Wight, the Isle of Man and Anglesey) and an B.A. in 1522. Afterwards he studied at All Souls, Oxford, where he met Thomas Caius, engraved map of Britain. He also proposed to publish a full description of all Henry’s and at Paris under Francis Sylvius. Royal Palaces. After entering Holy Orders in 1525, he became tutor to the son of Thomas Howard, Sadly, little or none of this materialised and Leland appears to have dissipated Duke of Norfolk. While so employed, he wrote much elegant Latin poetry in praise of much effort in seeking church advancement and in literary disputes such as that with the Royal Court which may have gained him favour with Henry VIII, for he was Richard Croke, who he claimed had slandered him.

  • THE ROLE of GRAZING ANIMALS and AGRICULTURE in the CAMBRIAN MOUNTAINS: Recognising Key Environmental and Economic Benefits Delivered by Agriculture in Wales’ Uplands
    THE ROLE OF GRAZING ANIMALS AND AGRICULTURE IN THE CAMBRIAN MOUNTAINS: recognising key environmental and economic benefits delivered by agriculture in Wales’ uplands Author: Ieuan M. Joyce. May 2013 Report commissioned by the Farmers’ Union of Wales. Llys Amaeth,Plas Gogerddan, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, SY23 3BT Telephone: 01970 820820 Executive Summary This report examines the benefits derived from the natural environment of the Cambrian Mountains, how this environment has been influenced by grazing livestock and the condition of the natural environment in the area. The report then assesses the factors currently causing changes to the Cambrian Mountains environment and discusses how to maintain the benefits derived from this environment in the future. Key findings: The Cambrian Mountains are one of Wales’ most important areas for nature, with 17% of the land designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). They are home to and often a remaining stronghold of a range of species and habitats of principal importance for the conservation of biological diversity with many of these species and habitats distributed outside the formally designated areas. The natural environment is critical to the economy of the Cambrian Mountains: agriculture, forestry, tourism, water supply and renewable energy form the backbone of the local economy. A range of non-market ecosystem services such as carbon storage and water regulation provide additional benefit to wider society. Documentary evidence shows the Cambrian Mountains have been managed with extensively grazed livestock for at least 800 years, while the pollen record and archaeological evidence suggest this way of managing the land has been important in the area since the Bronze Age.
