  • Annual Report (For the Year Ending 31St December 2019)
    The Diocese of Llandaff Bywoliaeth Laleston a Merthyr Mawr gyda Pen-y-Fai The Benefice of Laleston and Merthyr Mawr with Pen-y-Fai Annual Report (for the year ending 31st December 2019) 1 Bywoliaeth Laleston a Merthyr Mawr gyda Pen-y-Fai The Benefice of Laleston and Merthyr Mawr with Pen-y-Fai Annual Report for the year ending 31st December 2019 Lent 2019 – and as part of the Diocesan Lenten observances, Bishop June and our three Diocesan Archdeacons announced that 2020 – the 100th anniversary of the formation of The Church in Wales – would also be designated as a “Year of Pilgrimage”. Of course the very nature of a Pilgrimage is that it is a journey into the unknown. Pilgrimage may start with some fixed destination in mind, but how the traveller reaches that destination is anything but fixed…. and as such, a Pilgrimage becomes a journey that can take the traveller along many different, unexpected and unanticipated routes. In many ways, Pilgrimage is all about making oneself vulnerable and open to new experiences and new journeys, being receptive to the path less travelled and rendering oneself dependent on the kindness of others. 2 As such (and as the Scallop shell symbol of pilgrim routes symbolises), there will be many roads that lead to a single end- point, but Pilgrimages themselves are widely considered to be more about the journey than the destination. As I write in early February, even though the Year of Pilgrimage has begun, I think it would be fair to say that (both in our Benefice and across the Diocese) we have still yet to truly identify how it is that we can authentically engage with this initiative so that it won’t just be seen as some kind of elaborate – but largely stereotypical - means by which to celebrate our 100th birthday.

  • Early Neolithic Enclosures in Wales: a Review of the Evidence in Light of Recent Discoveries at Caerau, Cardiff
    The Antiquaries Journal, page 1 of 26 © The Society of Antiquaries of London, 2017 doi:10.1017⁄s0003581517000282 EARLY NEOLITHIC ENCLOSURES IN WALES: A REVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE IN LIGHT OF RECENT DISCOVERIES AT CAERAU, CARDIFF Oliver Davis and Niall Sharples, FSA, with a contribution from Jody Deacon Oliver Davis, School of History, Archaeology and Religion, University of Cardiff, John Percival Building, Colum Drive, Cardiff CF10 3EU, UK. Email: [email protected] Niall Sharples, FSA, School of History, Archaeology and Religion, University of Cardiff, John Percival Building, Colum Drive, Cardiff CF10 3EU, UK. Email: [email protected] Causewayed enclosures have recently been at the forefront of debate within British and European Neolithic studies. In the British Isles as a whole, the vast majority of these monuments are located in southern England, but a few sites are now beginning to be discovered beyond this core region. The search in Wales had seen limited success, but in the 1990s a number of cropmark discoveries suggested the presence of such enclosures west of the River Severn. Nonetheless, until now only two enclosures have been confirmed as Neolithic in Wales – Banc Du (in Pembrokeshire) and Womaston (in Powys) – although neither produced more than a handful of sherds of pottery, flint or other material culture. Recent work by the authors at the Iron Age hillfort of Caerau, Cardiff, have confirmed the presence of another, large, Early Neolithic causewayed enclosure in the country. Excavations of the enclosure ditches have produced a substantial assemblage of bowl pottery, comparable with better-known enclosures in England, as well as ten radiocarbon dates.

  • Descent of St. Maur and Seymour Families
    -390- ST MAUR AND SEYMOUR DESCENT OF ST.MAUR FAMILY OF CO.MONMOUTH AND SEYMOUR FAMILY OF HATCH, CO.SOMERSET by Paul C. Reed1 ABSTRACT This Seymour family became renowned in the person of Jane Seymour, who died twelve days after the birth of Edward, the only legitimate son of Henry VIII to survive infancy. It is not surprising that the origins of this family came under the focus of the earliest English historians and genealogists, including Camden, Dugdale and Vincent. Brydges and others later attempted fuller accounts in their works on the peerage, but the paucity of surviving records has allowed errant conclusions and fictions to persist in the most widely available modern accounts. The purpose of this article is to present a fresh analysis of what survives and bring the subject up to current standards of scholarship. Foundations (2008) 2 (6): 390-442 © Copyright FMG and the author As is the case with so many medieval English families, our knowledge of the earliest generations of the Seymours in the century and a half after Domesday is vague and uncertain. The earliest definitely traceable ancestor appears in record because of his acquisition of land—he burst onto the scene through conquest. In a period when preserving the king’s peace would normally have forbad dispossessing anyone of a manor (whether they had been in legitimate possession or not), at this specific time it furthered the interests of the crown to have Englishmen displace the native Welsh. Even after the family acquired heritable land, the descent of the male line through the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries is not entirely certain because of the scant survival of documents concerning manors and lands in the Marches of Wales.

  • Case Study - Bearings & Bridge Jacking
    Case Study - Bearings & Bridge Jacking A473 BRIDGEND INNER BYPASS BRIDGE, SOUTH WALES - BEARING REMOVAL & INSTALLATION Project Brief Removal of 65 no. rocker bearings. Design, manufacture, supply and installation of 65 no. mechanical pot bearings. Project Team Client: Bridgend County Borough Council Main Contractor: Dyer & Butler Sub Contractor: USL Ekspan Background Information The A473 Bridgend inner bypass bridge spans the River Ogmore, in Bridgend, South Wales. The ageing structure, with nearly 50 years wear and tear carrying high volumes of traffic, had developed some significant problems which had been identified by Bridgend Council as requiring major repair and maintenance work. Repairs to the bridge’s parapets, concrete supports and bearings were essential to ensure the structure remained durable and safe for continued use. The steel bearings supporting the bridge deck were excessively corroded to the extent that some had ‘seized’, and were consequently deemed as being inadequate to accommodate the expansion and rotational forces which they Old rocker bearing corroded and no longer functional were originally designed for. To alleviate this increased stress transferred into the bridge deck and supports, these bearings had to be replaced. USL Ekspan’s Workscope USL Ekspan were contracted by Dyer & Butler to replace the existing 65 no Glacier steel rocker bearings with USL Ekspan BS5400 mechanical pot bearings on the West abutment, at the East and West piers of Bridgend inner bypass bridge. Due to the complexity of the structure’s

Proposed Primary Access Arrangements 34 1 Introduction Context 1.1 Ogmore Comprehensive School was established at the site in Bryncethin in 1977 and has served the secondary education needs of the Ogmore Valley, stretching down to Bryncethin, for over thirty years. 1.2 As part of Bridgend's School Modernisation Programme, Ogmore Comprehensive School and Ynysawdre Comprehensive School amalgamated in 2011 to form the new Coleg Cymunedol Y Dderwen, which used the existing school buildings at both sites. The school relocated into a new purpose built community college which opened in September 2013 on the Tondu campus leaving the former Ogmore Comprehensive at the Bryncethin campus available for refurbishment and remodelling. 1.3 The remodelling of the buildings on this site will allow the authority to relocate Ysgol Bryn Castell and the Pupil Referral Unit from existing sub standard accommodation into much improved premises. There will also be the opportunity to relocate other specialist support services onto this site.
