  • Llangedwyn - Mynydd Y Bryn - Sycharth Bh239029
    LLANGEDWYN - MYNYDD Y BRYN - SYCHARTH BH239029 A MODERATE walk of 9 miles, 23 miles from Shrewsbury. OS sheets 239&240 A scenic route with plenty of interest, above the Tanat and Cynllaith valleys, through the Llangedwyn Estate and visiting the site of Owain Glyndwr’s hall. 1. Start at Llangedwyn Mill Craft Centre (NGR 185241) Car Park. Go back to the village centre, either by road or across the fields from the 18th century bridge over the Tanat. Llangedwyn is a Watkin Williams Wynn estate village and the Hall is now their residence in place of Wynnstay by Ruabon. The Hall has a complicated history with much rebuilding and demolitions. The grounds have terraced gardens and a strange loose box building in the paddocks. The Estate church is mid-19th century by Benjamin Ferrey. A splendid hill fort, Llwyn Bryn Dinas, Bronze Age and Iron Age, overlooks the valley one mile west of the village, but there are no paths to it. 2. Walk up the private drive to Llangedwyn Hall. Take the right fork at the stables and take the right of way behind the Hall to climb north east. Take the left fork through the woods to reach a green lane. There is no exit from the green lane to the road, so for the last part walk up the field keeping the fence on your right. Exit onto the Llansilin road. 3. Turn right on the road. Turn left at gate marked Ash Tree Cottage over cattlegrid. At top of hill (where track veers right/downhill) go straight ahead through gate and keep hedge line on left.

    Oswestry Group Programme & Newsletter November 2017 to February 2018 page 1 page 2 Chairman’s Chat As many of you will know I am coming to the end of my term as your Chairperson after four years, so we are looking for someone to come forward and volunteer to be our next chairperson. I would like to thank three groups of people who have helped to make my job pleasant and enjoyable. To all members of Oswestry Ramblers for their support and encouragement, to all the walk leaders for their time and effort in giving us such a varied and interesting programme and to the members of the committee, past and present, for their support and work during my four years, so THANK YOU TO YOU ALL. The AGM is set for Tuesday 28 November, 7.15pm, at Whittington Cricket Club. Please come and see if we can have more members there than ever. The new walks programme is out and if there are any dates vacant, apart from those over Christmas, that will be due to the programme co-ordinators having less walks offered as our pool of walk leaders is diminished. We need members to see if they have a favourite walk they would like to offer to lead for the next programme. Thank you all once again and have good walking. Colin Chandler, Chair of Oswestry Ramblers Area News This will be replaced with a regular half-yearly newsletter. Dates for Your Diary • 28TH NOVEMBER 2017 GROUP AGM 7 pm for 7.15 pm at the Whittington Cricket Club.

Anthony Burgess, Observer "Wonderfully intricate and haunting new novel. The complex relationships between art and reality . are explored with a mixture of elegance, panache and concern that is peculiarly his ... magnificent."

I enjoyed it very much indeed.'' Michael Ratcliffe, The Times "A novel which will give much pleasure and which exemplifies the civilised standards it aims to defend."

    c . \ THE INTERACTION BETWEEN LANDSCAPE AND MYTH IN THE NOVELS OF JOHN COWPER POWYS by GWYNETH F. MILES M.A. Bryn Mawr College, 196? A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in the Department of English We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA September, 1973 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada i Abstract Powys' novels are deeply rooted in a sense of place; much of their conflict develops through the effect of a particular locality upon the characters who live there or come there. This thesis demonstrates how Powys' sense of place is com• pounded of both a feeling for the physical landscape, and an awareness of the historical and mythical traditions which form its human past. Powys finds correspondences between the scenery and legends of a locality and the psychological states of his personae, and thus uses landscape and myth for symbolic purposes. The interaction of myth and landscape largely creates the characteristic atmosphere of the five novels studied here.

  • 1V, Owen Glendower and the Welsh Fight For
    3~19 /1V, g66I OWEN GLENDOWER AND THE WELSH FIGHT FOR INDEPENDENCE THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE By Phillip Eric Beims, B.A. Denton, Texas May, 1991 Rawl I Beims, Phillip Eric, OwenGlendower and the Welsh Fight for Independence. Master of Science (History), May, 1991, 133 pp., bibliography, 81 titles. Owen Glendower led the last military struggle of the Welsh against the English crown for Welsh independence and nationalism. The failure of the Glendower rebellion established the supremacy of English rule over Wales. For six hundred years the status of Wales as a principality of the crown has not been seriously challenged. This paper will show how widespread the idea of "Welshness" was in 1400 and how much support existed for Wales as an independent nation. Welshmen sought to move from the status of a medieval, tribal principality to a position of an independent nation capable and ready to stand with other national in the world. The role of leadership that Owen Glendower assumed in the final rebellion against the English king, Henry IV, lifted him from a popular Welsh prince to an historical legend.

  • Recent Research on Parks, Gardens and Designed Landscapes of Medieval North Wales and the Shropshire Marches
    Recent Research on Parks, Gardens and Designed Landscapes of Medieval North Wales and the Shropshire Marches Spencer Gavin Smith My PhD thesis is on the topic of ‘Parks, Gardens and Designed Landscapes of Medieval North Wales and the Shropshire Marches’ and I am grateful to the Editor for allowing me the opportunity to present some aspects of my research in this publication. The aim of my thesis is to examine the archaeological, historical, literary and visual arts evidence for the existence, distribution and use of medieval parks, gardens and designed landscapes associated with castles and related high- status occupation in North Wales and the Shropshire Marches. Digital mapping will be produced as part of the thesis in order to ensure that the data collated can be made available to researchers, academics and organisations who may find this information useful and relevant to their own remit or field of interest. The decision to undertake this thesis stems from the research, survey and excavation I directed at Sycharth Castle (Denbighshire) situated in the valley of the river Cynllaith to the south west of Oswestry (Shropshire). The llys or court at Sycharth and its surrounding landscape was the subject of a cywydd or praise poem composed c.1390 by the poet Iolo Goch. George Borrow translated the poem for his travelogue ‘Wild Wales’, first published in 1862 (Rhys (ed.) 1910) and the poem has subsequently been quoted in part by Higham and Barker (1992: 144-146 and 300-303), Landsberg (2004: 11), Creighton (2002: 179-180, 2009: 101) and Liddiard (2005: 116-117) when writing about an idealised medieval landscape in their publications on castles and medieval landscapes.

  • The Archaeology of Castle Slighting in the Middle Ages
    The Archaeology of Castle Slighting in the Middle Ages Submitted by Richard Nevell, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Archaeology in October 2017. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ……………………………………………………………………………… Abstract Medieval castle slighting is the phenomenon in which a high-status fortification is demolished in a time of conflict. At its heart are issues about symbolism, the role of castles in medieval society, and the politics of power. Although examples can be found throughout the Middle Ages (1066–1500) in England, Wales and Scotland there has been no systematic study of the archaeology of castle slighting. Understanding castle slighting enhances our view of medieval society and how it responded to power struggles. This study interrogates the archaeological record to establish the nature of castle slighting: establishing how prevalent it was chronologically and geographically; which parts of castles were most likely to be slighted and why this is significant; the effects on the immediate landscape; and the wider role of destruction in medieval society. The contribution of archaeology is especially important as contemporary records give little information about this phenomenon. Using information recovered from excavation and survey allows this thesis to challenge existing narratives about slighting, especially with reference to the civil war between Stephen and Matilda (1139–1154) and the view that slighting was primarily to prevent an enemy from using a fortification.
