Hafod Collection Hafod_complete.doc The Hafod Collection ACCESSION 1301: THE HAFOD COLLECTION TITLE: H DATE: 1595•1997 SIZE: 7 series MEDIUM: see item level description LEVEL & ARRANGEMENT: Fonds. The Hafod collection was found in two metal trunks in the basement of Leeds solicitors Rawson and Best. It was handed over to the current owners of the Hafod Estate, that is, the Forestry Commission, who deposited it in the Ceredigion Record Office, along with assorted records created by themselves in the intervening years. The original Messrs. Rawson and Best were the solicitors to John Waddingham, who bought the Estate in 1872. A large volume of papers accrued during Hafod's long history, with each successive owner adding new holdings to the Estate. This process of expansion brought with it documents passed down from former owners of these lands. It also generated new records in addition to correspondence and other paperwork associated with the administration of a large landed estate. Rawson and Best were the keepers of these papers, and they immediately set about ordering them. As solicitors, they were well qualified to do so and their design forms the basis of the collection’s present arrangement. Rawson and Best split the papers according to who was the owner at the time and labelled the resulting series with letters of the alphabet. Thus, all early documents up to and including Thomas Johnes’ time are designated A; Duke of Newcastle is B; Henry Hoghton, C; William Chambers, D; John Waddingham, E. Each series is further split into bundles, numbered A1, A2 etc. The whole is meticulously listed in a large schedule (H/D15/1), which was invaluable in recreating the original order of the collection, as many papers had become loose or misplaced. In addition to the original arrangement the copious paperwork and correspondence between John Waddingham, his solicitors and other parties has been designated as series F. It was already divided into bundles and no attempt was made to reorganize them; they were simply numbered F1 to F13 and their contents arranged and listed chronologically. The last series is composed of records created in more modern times by the Forestry Commission; this has become series G. Thus, each document in the collection has a number composed of three elements. Taking H/D15/1 as an example, H tells us that the document belongs to the Hafod collection; D is the series; 15 is the number of bundle, or file; 1 is the number of the individual item. This is a practical and workable arrangement, allowing easy location of the document in addition to conferring some information about its position in the collection. The preliminary listing of series H/A to H/F of the collection was undertaken by Anna Skarzynska and Kate Hampson as part of voluntary work experience before commencing the Archives Administration course at University of Wales Aberystwyth; series H/G was similarly listed by Helen Rowe. These listings were used as the basis of the present catalogue which was completed by Anna Skarzynska and funded by a grant from CyMAL. Hafod_complete.doc The Hafod Collection NATURE AND CONTENT: The following brief history of the Hafod Estate should be an adequate introduction to the interrelationship between Hafod, its history and people, and the documents. Early times until 1832 The lands which became the Hafod Estate originally belonged to the Cistertian monastery of Strata Florida. After the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII (1536•1540) their holdings were divided and awarded to new tenants. Some of the Strata Florida lands were granted to the Herbert family, who came to Cardiganshire during the reign of Elizabeth I. One, Sir Richard Herbert of Pengelly and Cwmystwyth was High Sherriff of Cardigan from 22 November 1542. A rent roll dated 1540 for the granges of Mevenith, Cwmystwyth and Hafod•wen (‘newe leases’) reveals that W[illia]m Herbert and Morgan Herbert were tenants of several properties formerly belonging to the Abbey of Strata Florida, including significantly: Havodychdryd Doleygors Pantycrave Bwlch Gwalter parcell of Ty Loge [...] 4 parte of Pwll Piran parte of Pregnant and Blaenmerin and Alltgron Havodychdryd or Hafod Uchtryd is the name of the house and demesne and the other properties closely correspond to what is later referred to as 'the Old Estate' (see below). The Herberts’ last heiress Jane married Thomas Johnes of Llanfair Clydogau in 1705. He in turn left the Estate to his cousin, Thomas Johnes of Dolaucothi (Carmarthenshire), the grandfather of Col. Thomas Johnes (b. 1748). The history of the Estate under the benevolent hand of Col. Johnes need not be rehearsed here beyond some basic facts, being the subject of several books, most notablyPeacocks in Paradise by Elizabeth Inglis•Jones. More (not always reliable) information can be found in Francis Jones’ Historic Cardiganshire Homes and Their Families. Col. Johnes married twice; his first wife Maria Burgh died young and he then married his cousin Jane Johnes. He succeeded to the Cardiganshire estates upon the death of his father in 1783 and set about turning Hafod into the idyllic landscaped paradise it became. He also extended Hafod beyond the lands he had inherited. In document H/D15/1 the 'Old Estate' is listed as follows: Hafod Mansion and Demesne; Pwlpiran; Dol•y•Gors; Blaenmyherin; Nant Rhys; Dyliw; Bwlch Gwalter and Gwern•y•Pedyl; Rhosfair, Llewn•y•Gwyddel and Cae•Mawr. Later, the same document lists Johnes' additions: Tyloge and Gwern•y•Pedyll; Caermeirch; Rhos Tyddin; Lledwenne, Prignant, Cefn•yr• Esgir, Gwar•yr•Alt and Nant•y•cae; Tycoch; Botcol and Dolchennog; Penyprompen [sic] & c.; Tygwyn, Dolwen & c.; Tyn y Clittie; Advowson of Eglwys Newydd. Johnes was interested in new farming methods and set up an experimental farm on the Estate; this farm is variously known as New Farm or Gelmast. Hafod_complete.doc The Hafod Collection The Johnes' beloved only daughter Mariamne suffered from a spinal deformity and became increasingly disabled by her condition. This did not stop her many intellectual pursuits (she was a capable naturalist, among other things) and she was held in high regard by the various learned visitors to the Hafod. The Estate entered a golden age, but it was not to last. A series of calamities befell the family and the Estate in the early 1800s. The mansion burnt down in 1807. A costly programme of rebuilding and improvement was completed. In 1811 Mariamne died, leaving her parents bereft. Then, financial difficulties brought on by Thomas's relentless expenditure forced a sale of the reversion of Hafod to stave off bankruptcy. Thomas Johnes died in 1816 and Jane left Cardiganshire for Devon, where she died in 1833. Only three documents in the collection are pre•1700 but there are a number of documents from the 18th and early 19th century detailing the Estate’s fortunes during that period. These are mostly contained within series A. 1833•1846 (the Duke of Newcastle) The Most Noble Henry Pelham Fiennes Clinton Pelham Duke of Newcastle signed a contract for the purchase of the Hafod Estate in 1833 (H/A16/18) but the actual conveyance took place on 10 January 1835 (H/A17/2). According to Francis Jones' account, the Duke was 'much hated' but he effected improvements and reclaimed much waste land during his tenure. Like Johnes before him, he added to Hafod's holdings. The following properties and rights acquired by him are listed in H/D15/1: Common rights over Cyrne; Rhos Prignant otherwise Rhos•y•gell otherwise Rhosarw; Tymawr Issa or Rhosfair House; Tynyffordd and Sarnfedw; Rhosyrhiw, Pontrhydygroes and Pontrhydygroes Mill; Nantsyddion; cottage at Rhosfair; Pantyffynnon; Rights claimed by the Crown in portions of the Hafod Estate. The Duke eventually sold the Estate to Henry Hoghton in 1846. Papers documenting the Estate's conveyance to the Duke are in series A; those recording his administration of Hafod are in series B. 1846•1857 (Henry Hoghton) Henry Hoghton bought the Estate in 1846. His tenure was fairly short and comparatively uneventful, although he did instigate a rebuilding and extension of the mansion. He also acquired the mineral rights to parts of the Estate which had previously been reserved to Lord Lisburne. Other than that, he added Penglog and Cae'r Lluest as well as a plantation and 'other small properties', as H/D15/1 tells us. Hafod was again put up for sale in 1855 and the conveyance to William Chambers took place in 1857. Henry Hoghton's purchase of the Estate is in series B; his later activities as owner are documented in series C. 1857•1871 (William Chambers) Hafod_complete.doc The Hafod Collection William Chambers is dismissed by both Elizabeth Inglis•Jones and Francis Jones as a property speculator and they have little else to say about him. Certainly by the time of sale to the next owner the Estate was heavily mortgaged and the Dowager Baroness Margaret Willoughby de Broke thede facto owner. In addition, a large part of the Estate (referred to in the collection as the Devil’s Bridge Estate and covering the Devil’s Bridge Hotel and surrounding lands including Rhos y Tyddyn) was sold in 1866. The buyer was John Barton Balcombe, a man of business also responsible for building the Queen’s Hotel in Aberystwyth (the present County Hall). William Chambers granted a number of mining leases to various individuals and companies (see file H/D5), but the lead mines on the Estate were not rich. Moreover, Chambers is largely responsible for creation of the village of Devil’s Bridge by granting many residential leases in the area (see files H/D6 to H/D8). Under the terms of most of these the tenant was to erect a dwelling house on the allotted building plot; a separate lease was prepared for what was termed ‘accommodation land’, in effect an adjoining piece of land of one acre or so to be used by the tenant to grow food or keep livestock on.

  • 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.

  • Dyfed Final Recommendations News Release
    NEWS RELEASE Issued by the Telephone 02920 395031 Boundary Commission for Wales Caradog House Fax 02920 395250 1-6 St Andrews Place Cardiff CF10 3BE Date 25 August 2004 FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES IN THE PRESERVED COUNTY OF DYFED The Commission propose to make no change to their provisional recommendations for five constituencies in the preserved county of Dyfed. 1. Provisional recommendations in respect of Dyfed were published on 5 January 2004. The Commission received eleven representations, five of which were in support of their provisional recommendations. Three of the representations objected to the inclusion of the whole of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division within the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency, one objected to the name of the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency and one suggested the existing arrangements for the area be retained. 2. The Commission noted that, having received no representation of the kind mentioned in section 6 (2) of the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986, there was no statutory requirement to hold a local inquiry. The Commission further decided that in all the circumstances they would not exercise their discretion under section 6 (1) to hold an inquiry. Final recommendations 3. The main objection to the provisional recommendations was in respect of the inclusion of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division in the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency. It was argued that the division should be included in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr on the grounds that the majority of the electorate in the division fell within that constituency and that inclusion in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr rather than Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire would reduce the disparity between the electorates of the two constituencies and would bring them closer to the electoral quota.

  • '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.
