  • Wales at Westminster: Parliament, Principality and Pressure Groups, 1542-1601*
    Parliamentary History, Vol. 22, pt. 2 (2003), pp. 107-120 Wales at Westminster: Parliament, Principality and Pressure Groups, 1542-1601* LLOYD BOWEN Cdif University This article attempts to address an inconsistency of modern historiography regarding the legacy of Wales’s union with England in the mid-sixteenth century. The discrepancy concerns the participation of Welshmen in the new parliamentary and administrative roles afforded by the union. The Henrician statutes which united Wales with England remodelled Welsh justice and administration, bringing Wales into line with English practice. Justices of the peace were introduced, Wales was divided into shires like England, and, in the most symbolically significant demon- stration of the incorporation of Wales into the English body politic, 26 (later 27) Welsh borough and county constituencies were enfranchised and allowed to send representatives to the national parliaments at Westminster.’ However, the speed of the reception and adoption of these new rights by Welshmen has not been seen as uniform. Whereas they are often portrayed as embracing their new administrative roles quickly and with enthusiasm, their participation in parliamentary business is seen as halting, uncertain and ineffective.2 This generally has led to the characteri- zation of the Welsh as lacking interest in parliament and continuing to be unsure of its mechanisms and procedures for many decades after their enfiran~hisement.~ This article examines how the ‘two-speed’ adoption of the union has become an accepted element of modern historiography, and suggests that this case has been overstated. The picture of a hesitant body of Welsh members in the Tudor Commons is attributable mainly to Professor A.

  • 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.

Its parish of Llangar lay within the hundred of Edeirnion,1 but by 1901 Llangar parish was incorporated within that of Corwen. One-Inch 1953 Ordnance Survey map showing the location of Hafod y calch. The medieval hall house of Plas Uchaf is not named, but its buildings are included just below Plas Isaf. Cymer was an ancient name for the lands within which Hafod lies, around the cymer or confluence of the Rivers Alwen and Dyfrdwy (or Dee). A 1293 document2 records the townships of Cymer and Llangar as together having 18 taxed tenants - and both these townships lay, somewhat confusingly, within Llangar parish. The Barons of Cymer, a branch of the Barons of Edeirnion,3 once lived at Plas Uchaf, 4 and then from around 1600 at Gwerclas. Hafod`s site was evidently important at early date, as surface workings of a medieval quarry, just south of the present quarry and house, were found by the geologist E.

  • My Welsh Quaker Ancestors
    Chapter 60 My Welsh Quaker Ancestors [originally written on 20 August 2020] Introduction I have started using the Geni.com website to expand my knowledge of my family tree. Geni.com has what they call the “World Family Tree”. Unlike Ancestry.com, where everyone has their own complete (or incomplete) family tree, Geni.com is having its users collaboratively build just a single family tree. On Ancestry.com, there can be one thousand or more duplicate entries for the same person – and these entries often have conflicting information. On Geni.com, there should only be one entry on the entire website for any given person. Individual users on Geni.com can add their ancestral lines until they connect with people already in the World Family Tree. And then their lines immediately become part of this enormous family tree. As of mid-August 2020, there are over 147 million individuals in the World Family Tree – see: https://www.geni.com/worldfamilytree Over the past year, I have added various lines from my family tree to Geni.com, and then connected these lines to individuals already in the World Family Tree. I have been exploring various ancestral lines that connect me to the World Family Tree on Geni.com, looking for information about ancestors who I knew little about. In this chapter, I’ll be examining several of my Welsh Quaker ancestors that I knew absolutely nothing at all about previously. John Owen, High Sheriff One of my 2nd-great grandmothers was Elmony Lester (1809-?). Here is my line on the Geni.com website going back to her: Continuing on into the past, here is the line from Elmony Lester back to her 2nd- great grandfather, John Owen (1692-1752): John Owen was my 6th-great grandfather: On Geni.com, John Owen has the title “High Sheriff”.

  • Drought, Rural Communities and Public Health, 1870–1914 Keir Waddington*
    Social History of Medicine Vol. 0, No. 0 pp. 1–22 ‘I should have thought that Wales was a wet part of the world’: Drought, Rural Communities and Public Health, 1870–1914 Keir Waddington* Summary. From 1884 onwards, Britain experienced a series of major droughts, which reached their peak in the ‘Long Drought’ (1890–1909). Despite being imagined as a wet part of the world, rural Wales was hard hit as many communities did not have access to reliable water supplies. As medical officers of health and newspapers talked about water famines, alarm focused on questions of purity and disease as drought was presented as a serious health risk. Using rural Wales as a case study, this essay explores vulnerabilities to water scarcity during periods of drought to examine the material and socio-political impact of water scarcity and the resulting public health problems faced in rural areas. In addressing how droughts in rural communities were physical and social phenom- ena that generated considerable alarm about infectious disease, this essay also reveals how periods of water scarcity were an important determinant in improvements to rural water provision. Keywords: drought; public health; rural; Wales; water supply In a debate over improvements to the water supply for the village of Henllan in Denbighshire in 1890, Major-General C. Phipps Carey, one of the deputy engineering in- spectors for the Local Government Board (LGB), argued that the proposed scheme was excessive. In defending his conclusion, he explained: ‘you don’t have droughts in this part of the country .... I should have thought that Wales was a wet part of the world’.1 If Phipps Carey’s assumptions reflected representations of the Welsh landscape found in Romantic paintings and travel writing, the inhabitants of Henllan were clearly worried about the effects of drought on their water supply.
