  • HISTORY of ABERYSTWYTH

    HISTORY of ABERYSTWYTH

    HISTORY of ABERYSTWYTH We all think of Aberystwyth as a seaside resort town. The presence of the ruined castle suggests a coloured medieval history, fraught with battles and land forever changing hands between powerful rulers. However, there was evidence of human activity in Aberystwyth long before this time, so we thought it might be worth going through the history of Aberyst- wyth right from the start. The earliest recorded human activity in Aberystwyth area dates back to around 11,500 years ago during the mesolithic period. The mesolithic period signalled the end of a long and arduous ice age, which saw most of the worlds surface covered in ice, leav- ing only the most hardy plants and animals to survive. As the ice retreaded in Mid Wales, this revealed large supplies of stone, including flint at Tan-Y-Bwlch which lies at the foot of Pen Dinas hill. There is strong evidence that the area was used for flint knapping, which involved the shaping of the flint deposits left behind by the retreating ice in order to make weapons for hunting for hunting animals. The flint could be shaped into sharp points, which could be used as primitive spears and other equipment, used by the hunter gatherer to obtain food. Around 3000 years ago there is evidence of an early Celtic ringfort on the site of Pen Dinas. The ringfort is a circular fortified set- tlement which was common throughout Northern Europe in the Bronze and Iron ages. What remains of this particular example at Aberystwyth is now located on private land on Pen Dinas, and can only be accessed by arrangement.

  • The Search for San Ffraid

    The Search for San Ffraid

    The Search for San Ffraid ‘A thesis submitted to the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in the fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts’ 2012 Jeanne Mehan 1 Abstract The Welsh traditions related to San Ffraid, called in Ireland and Scotland St Brigid (also called Bride, Ffraid, Bhríde, Bridget, and Birgitta) have not previously been documented. This Irish saint is said to have traveled to Wales, but the Welsh evidence comprises a single fifteenth-century Welsh poem by Iorwerth Fynglwyd; numerous geographical dedications, including nearly two dozen churches; and references in the arts, literature, and histories. This dissertation for the first time gathers together in one place the Welsh traditions related to San Ffraid, integrating the separate pieces to reveal a more focused image of a saint of obvious importance in Wales. As part of this discussion, the dissertation addresses questions about the relationship, if any, of San Ffraid, St Brigid of Kildare, and St Birgitta of Sweden; the likelihood of one San Ffraid in the south and another in the north; and the inclusion of the goddess Brigid in the portrait of San Ffraid. 2 Contents ABSTRACT ........................................................................................................................ 2 CONTENTS........................................................................................................................ 3 FIGURES ...........................................................................................................................

    HISTORIC PHOTOGRAPHS Pendre Inn High Street, Cilgerran, Cardigan, Ceredigion. SA43 2SL • “Olde Worlde” Public House • Centre of busy Tourist Village • Lounge & Bar • Large Flat & Gardens • Scope to introduce Catering Freehold £225,000 Ref 34182 01981 250333 LOCATION The busy and attractive village of Cilgerran is located on the banks of the River Teifi within North Pembrokeshire, approximately two miles from the popular coastal town of Cardigan. The village attracts a number of visitors throughout the year and is well known for its annual Corical Race and the nearby attraction of Cilgerran Castle and its country park. The Pendre Inn is an “Olde Worlde” cottage style pub at the centre of the village, and appears to be constructed in the main of stone with colour washed elevations under a mainly slate roof. It trades as a traditional wet led public house to the local community and large number of tourists throughout the holiday periods, and was recognised as Pembrokeshire’s CAMRA Pub of the Year 2009. It would benefit greatly from the introduction of food to bolster this well established trade.
