CITY offices: I, LOMBARD COURT. «^ 1335236 TO THE SACRED MEMORIES OF THE PAST PREFACE Having inherited some notes on the Parish of Worthenbury, which I only recently read, I determined, with these and other means within my reach, to write all that I could gather of the history of my parish, knowing, however, perfectly well, how imperfect my work must be, yet bearing in mind Machiavelli's saying that " it was better to do things badly than not to do them at all." T. H. G. P. C(?c Slonj of a (Duiet Countrj) Parisl?, BEING GLEANINGS OF The History of Worthenbury, Flintshire. Although Worthenbury does not appear to have been the scene of any great historical events, yet I hope to put togfether some gatherings which may have interest for those who know it and love it. It is situated on the river Dee, is bounded on the south by Shropshire and on the north by Cheshire, and forms a part of the Hundred of Maelor, or Maelor Saesneo', to distinguish it from Maelor Cymraig in Denbighshire ; it is in the county of Flint, though separated from the main part of it by the portion of the county of Denbigh in the neigh- bourhood of Wrexham, through which one must pass for live or six miles before again touching Flint- shire.

  • Property in Montgomeryshire, Wales, 1543–1935
    1 UNIV ONLINE CATALOGUES UC:E10 PROPERTY IN MONTGOMERYSHIRE, WALES, 1543–1935 INTRODUCTION A group of properties in Montgomeryshire (now part of Powys), once part of the manor of Arustley (now Arwystli) was bequeathed to University College by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, on his death in 1588. As Chancellor of the University of Oxford, Leicester was the Visitor of University College, but in addition he was attended at his deathbed by William James, who had been Master of the College in 1572–84. Under the terms of his will ( UC:E10/D1/17–18 ), Leicester intended this estate to endow two new scholarships at the College whose holders should first be nominated by his wife during her lifetime, and then by his heirs for ever. Unfortunately, Leicester then continued: “This fee farme I knowe not the name of yt but the present Rent is about fyve pounds a yeare and worth fiftie or threescore poundes when the years be out.” This uncertainty bedevilled the early history of the lands after 1588, because it took several decades for the College to establish undisputed ownership over them. It also did not help that the ownership of the lands became in itself a matter of some complexity. To judge from the documents below, they had been in the possession of the Crown, and were leased by Elizabeth I in 1562 to the Earl of Pembroke for 21 years. In 1570/1 she then leased the lands to Sir Henry Ratcliffe for 30 years, the term to start at the end of the preceding lease (i.e.

  • Gwerclas , Corwen Denbighshire
    Darganfod Hen Discovering Old Dai Cymreig Welsh Houses Gwerclas , Corwen Denbighshire Jenny Lees 2015 Revised 2019 HOUSE HISTORY RESEARCH Written in the language chosen by the volunteers and researchers & including information so far discovered PLEASE NOTE ALL THE HOUSES IN THIS PROJECT ARE PRIVATE AND THERE IS NO ADMISSION TO ANY OF THE PROPERTIES ©Discovering Old Welsh Houses Group Rhif Elusen Gofrestredig: No: 1131782: Registered charity www.discoveringoldwelshhouses.co.uk www.discoveringoldwelshhouses.co.uk Gwerclas, Corwen, Denbighshire, LL21 0EW The splendid mansion of Gwerclas is a Grade 2 star listed building. It now lies within the modern county of Denbighshire but was part of the ancient county of Merioneth until 1974 and in the former county of Clwyd until 1996. Gwerclas` parish was originally Llangar, in the ancient Hundred of Edeyrnion (or Edeirnion), but by 1901 Llangar was incorporated within the parish of Corwen. Historically, each parish also contained townships, and Gwerclas lay within the township of Cymer.1 The Barons of Cymer built what is currently thought to have been the earliest dwelling situated at Gwerclas. They were a branch of the Barons of Edeyrnion - descendants of one of the native royal families of Wales - and their lineage stemmed from Madog ap Maredudd, the last Welsh Prince to rule the whole of the ancient Kingdom of Powys2. Before moving to Gwerclas the Cymer barons are believed to have lived at nearby Plas Uchaf, known historically as Plas o Kymmer or Cymer. My photograph to the right shows its magnificent roof timbers. A separate DOWH house history for Plas Uchaf has now been published on http://discoveringoldwelshhouses.co.uk/library/Hhistory/den%201 12_HH_32_Plas_Uchaf.pdf We do not yet know where the earliest Barons of Cymer lived, but it should be mentioned that Gwerclas Mound, close to the present house, was previously thought to be the possible site of their 1 medieval castle.
