Download Powys Update Report
AGENDA ITEM No. 16 MEETING : TRUST BOARD DATE : 29 JANUARY 2008 REPORT OF : DEPUTY CHIEF EXECUTIVE Contact : Andy Roughton Regional Director C&W Officer Tel: 01792 562929 Email: [email protected] POWYS – UPDATE REPORT Purpose 1. To inform the Board of the current position within Powys. RECOMMENDED: That the report be received. Introduction 2. The Powys locality currently operates from 12 ambulance stations and at peak times aims to roster 12 ambulance resources at any one time. Appendix A shows the levels of activity and the distribution of activity over a 91 day period. Appendix B shows the average peak activity over a 50 week period by day of the week across Powys. The columns show planned crewing levels and the red line shows the rota required taking account of a three hour job cycle. Due to the geographical size of the area, low call volumes and spread of activity throughout the locality, compliance with response standards is challenging within the current traditional ambulance service delivery model employed (Appendix A). However, the rostered level of ambulance resources is sufficient to service the current call volume (Appendix B). 3. Recruitment and retention of staff has also been a challenge in the past, leaving the region with 4 vacancies and an additional requirement for 3 vacancies to increase the relief percentage to the Trust’s target of 26%. 4. Powys has no General Hospital and therefore average job cycle times are incurred of up to 3 hours when patients are conveyed and therefore the Trust’s inability to maintain suitable cover within the locality further compromises our ability to meet response standards. -

I am sincerely grateful to the efforts of everyone who has helped contribute to the making of this Plan which is so important for the future of Powys. Importantly, the Plan sets out a clear and strong strategy for meeting the future needs of the county’s communities over the next decade. By focussing development on our market towns and largest villages, it provides the direction and certainty to support investment and enable economic opportunities to be seized, to grow and support viable service centres and for housing development to accommodate our growing and changing household needs. At the same time the Plan provides the protection for our outstanding and important natural, built and cultural environments that make Powys such an attractive and special place in which to live, work, visit and enjoy. Our efforts along with all our partners must now shift to delivering the Plan for the benefit of our communities. Councillor Martin Weale Portfolio Holder for Economy and Planning -

Cymmrodorion Vol 25.Indd
8 THE FAMILY OF L’ESTRANGE AND THE CONQUEST OF WALES1 The Rt Hon The Lord Crickhowell PC Abstract The L’Estrange family were important Marcher lords of Wales from the twelfth century to the Acts of Union in the sixteenth century. Originating in Brittany, the family made their home on the Welsh borders and were key landowners in Shropshire where they owned a number of castles including Knockin. This lecture looks at the service of several generations of the family to the English Crown in the thirteenth century, leading up to the death of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd in 1282. With its practice of intermarriage with noble Welsh families, the dynasty of L’Estrange exemplifies the hybrid nature of Marcher society in the Middle Ages. Two points by way of introduction: the first to explain that what follows is taken from my book, The Rivers Join.2 This was a family history written for the family. It describes how two rivers joined when Ann and I married. Among the earliest tributaries traced are those of my Prichard and Thomas ancestors in Wales at about the time of the Norman Conquest; and on my wife’s side the river representing the L’Estranges, rising in Brittany, flowing first through Norfolk and then roaring through the Marches to Wales with destructive force. My second point is to make clear that I will not repeat all the acknowledgements made in the book, except to say that I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the late Winston Guthrie Jones QC, the author of the paper which provided much of the material for this lecture. -
'IARRIAGES Introduction This Volume of 'Stray' Marriages Is Published with the Hope That It Will Prove
S T R A Y S Volume One: !'IARRIAGES Introduction This volume of 'stray' marriages is published with the hope that it will prove of some value as an additional source for the familv historian. For economic reasons, the 9rooms' names only are listed. Often people married many miles from their own parishes and sometimes also away from the parish of the spouse. Tracking down such a 'stray marriage' can involve fruitless and dishearteninq searches and may halt progress for many years. - Included here are 'strays', who were married in another parish within the county of Powys, or in another county. There are also a few non-Powys 'strays' from adjoining counties, particularly some which may be connected with Powys families. For those researchers puzzled and confused by the thought of dealing with patronymics, when looking for their Welsh ancestors, a few are to be found here and are ' indicated by an asterisk. A simple study of these few examples may help in a search for others, although it must be said, that this is not so easy when the father's name is not given. I would like to thank all those members who have helped in anyway with the compilation of this booklet. A second collection is already in progress; please· send any contributions to me.

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 ........................................................................................................................... -

Wales & the Cotswolds
WALES & THE COTSWOLDS JULY 3 – JULY 22, 2015 | £3,199* per person Our tour includes one of the most in-depth explorations of Wales and the Welsh borderlands available: some the best of the Cotswolds; a visit to the famous Ironbridge Museum, otherwise known as the Valley of the Industrial Revolution; and finishing at Highclere Castle, better known as Downton Abbey. Our routing is always via the most picturesque and varied countryside, concentrating on Britain’s heritage wherever possible — its ruins, castles, palaces, abbeys and stately homes containing many interesting and varied collections, many of which have featured in movies and familiar TV series. The great thing about the majority of these wonderful attractions in the countryside is that they are nearly all also museums in themselves. We visit some of the loveliest Cotswold villages, with their gorgeous thatched cottages and honey-coloured stone. In addition to history, our emphasis throughout is spectacular scenery, amazingly different architecture due to both the construction periods and the use of local building materials (mostly due to the astonishingly diverse geology of Britain), and glorious gardens, so that the entire trip is a photographer’s dream. We include up to 35 different attractions with no ‘optional extras’. We stay in lovely hotels with great food, sometimes in very small places, where the emphasis is more on local charm than on North American-style modernization! INCLUDED IN THE PRICE Airport transfer for those arriving with the majority of the group • Accommodation and transportation • Breakfasts and dinners as specified • Admission to all attractions as per the detailed itinerary • Escort throughout The tour is escorted by Maggie Rodgers who has taught Travel courses for Continuing Education in Vancouver, Surrey and White Rock, British Columbia, for several years. -
