Type of Site Religious garden (Stations of the Cross). Main Phases of Construction 1849-1875 SITE DESCRIPTION Pantasaph is a Roman Catholic complex of buildings, comprising the church of St David's and a Franciscan friary. To the south is the ruined convent of St Clare's and the A55 dual carriageway. Pantasaph is situated on ground sloping gently to the south, backed by the hill to the north on which the garden is laid out. In 1846 Viscount Fielding later 8th Earl of Denbigh married Louisa the only child and heiress of David Pennant of Downing and grand-daughter of Thomas Pennant. In thanksgiving for their marriage they decided to build a church on their estate at Pantasaph and the foundation stone was laid on 16 August 1849. The following year Lord and Lady Fielding were received into the Catholic church, and the church became Roman Catholic. The architect of the church was T.H. Wyatt, who also made alterations to the Fieldings' home at Downing. Pugin was called in to give Catholic finishing touches to the interior. Not all his work remains, and alterations to the interior began as early as c. 1893. From the outside the church is a simple single-aisle building with a gabled roof and porch. The tower has a stepped pyramidal stone tower. The friary buildings adjoin the church on the north side forming a courtyard open on one side. These are also in Gothic style, possibly by T.H. Wyatt, and were built in 1858-65. The hill behind the friary has been used to its full advantage for the creation of a dramatic set of Stations of the Cross representing Christ's journey to Calvary. The entrance is marked by a stone arch surmounted with a stone cross. In niches on either side are statues of St Francis and St Anthony. The pathway zigzags its way up the hill with a Station at each turn in the path. Each station is marked by a tiny Gothic chapel containing a depiction of the particular station. The path is also punctuated by recesses for benches. The sides of the path are decorated with large rocks and the remains of coarse gravel can be seen in the pathway. The path widens out to form an apse-shaped space which marks the site of Calvary at the top of the hill. This is marked with a half life-size crucifix and a group of bronze figures representing Mary, Mother of Christ, Mary Magdalen, and St Peter. Steps either side of the last station provide a view over the boundary wall to the Irish Sea. Below Calvary and built into the hillside is the fourteenth and last station, erected by benefactors, one named Francis Reynolds. This takes the form of a much larger chapel, known as the Chapel of the Sepulchre, and is sometimes used for Mass and Benediction. On an axis with this chapel is a steep flight of stone steps which leads to the monastery buildings below. Below the Chapel of the Sepulchre is a Grotto to Our Lady of Lourdes made in the quarry which supplied the building stone for the chapel and monastic buildings. According to a guidebook written in 1964 originally there was no planting on the hill at all. When the garden was made in 1875-79 the hillside was planted with Scots pine and larch, with an underplanting of cherry laurel, mahonia, and yew, and a ground cover of Vinca minor. The planting has thinned and beech is now being planted. The Calvary area is planted around the edge with Irish yew and the vista to the Chapel of the Sepulchre is planted with Scots pine on either side. The main drive to the Friary has an avenue of sycamore interplanted with clipped Irish yews. The paddocks either side of the drive have a perimeter planting of Scots pine. The graveyard attached to the chapel has a perimeter planting of Chamaecyparis species. Two kitchen gardens are sited either side of the approach to the Stations of the Cross. They are bounded by low rubble limestone walls. The one to the east contains the remains of a glasshouse and some fruit bushes, whilst the one to the west is now a field.

  • Women and Crime in Sixteenth-Century Wales
    Women and Crime in Sixteenth-Century Wales Elizabeth Anne Howard A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Archaeology and Religion Cardiff University 2020 i Summary This thesis is the first full-length study of women and crime in sixteenth-century Wales. After the Acts of Union of 1536 and 1543, Wales fell under English legal jurisdiction. As such, Wales provides a key setting through which to question how a new system of criminal law could be developed and implemented. The sixteenth- century, however, has been somewhat neglected by historians of crime, as has the location of Wales. This study addresses this gap in research by utilising the detailed depositional evidence from the Welsh Great Sessions c.1542 to 1590. Further, this thesis draws especially on evidence from Montgomeryshire and Flintshire due to the richness of the surviving source material in these counties’ gaol files, and the fact that these two counties were part of the same Great Sessions circuit. Compared to the history of Welsh crime, the study of gender and crime has been much more vibrant. This thesis builds on previous research in this field by placing women’s experience as perpetrators and victims of crime at the forefront of the investigation. Throughout, I examine the three main categories of offence that women experienced – theft, homicide, and witchcraft – and question how a woman’s gender affected her treatment before the law. Indeed, the central arguments of these chapters expose the differences between criminal accusations made against women in their original formats and how these allegations could be modified and changed throughout the legal process.

  • Henfryn Hall and Mia Hall Trelawnyd, Flintshire
    Henfryn Hall and Mia Hall Trelawnyd, Flintshire Origins The village of Trelawnyd is located in Flintshire. It is recorded in Domesday Book in 1086 as Trevelesneu, while the church is first referred to in Pope Nicholas's Taxation of 1291 as 'Ecclesia de Deyserth, cum capella sua de Rywlyfnyd'. Later spellings of Drelownyd, Relawnyd Rhylofnoyd, or Trelawnyd are all to be found in the literature1. It was renamed Newmarket in 1710 as Flintshire, North Wales part of an attempt by John Wynne, the son of the Area of detailed map Gop Farm squire of Copa’rleni (Copa'r Goleuni or Copar Leni, now Gop Farm), to develop the village into an industrial town centred on the lead industry, but the attempt was unsuccessful! The present church of St Michael dates from this period, although it was extensively refurbished in the late nineteenth century. The village reverted to the name Trelawnyd in 1954. The general area is shown in the map to the left and in greater detail on the right. Copa'r Goleuni, which became Copa’rleni, is referred to in 1441, the name possibly being connected with the use of the nearby Gop cairn as the site for a warning beacon as far back as Roman times2. The history of the area goes back to pre-Roman times. The Romans tell of a tribe called the Decangli (Welsh version - Tegeingl). Tegeingl was a district in the Kingdom of Mercia approximating to the county of Flintshire. The Lord of Copa’r Golueni in the 13th century was Madog Dhu, or Madog the Black.

The local planning authority has a statutory duty to designate them and to preserve and enhance their special character or appearance. Permission may be needed before undertaking works to any property within a conservation area. 2.02 A number of features may make up the character of a conservation area, such as the predominant use of certain building materials, architectural styles and features, a particular road layout or development pattern. Archaeology, the local topography, trees, landscaping, the wider landscape, views and vistas are also important. 2.03 There are currently 32 conservation areas in Flintshire: Centres of historic market towns (3): Flint, Holywell, and Mold. Parts of villages (18): Cadole, Caergwrle, Caerwys, Cilcain, Ffynnongroyw, Gorsedd, Gwaenysgor, Gwespyr, Halkyn, Hawarden, Llanasa, Nannerch (2), Nercwys, Northop, Trelawnyd, Whitford, and Ysceifiog. Smaller designations (11): Gladlys, Glan yr Afon, Kinsale Hall, Leeswood Hall, Lygan y Wern, Oakenholt Hall, Pantasaph, Plas Bellin, Plas Onn, Talacre Abbey, and The Wern. 2.04 The planning authority is required by law to give special attention to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of each conservation area under its jurisdiction. It is a duty of that authority to formulate and publish guidance as to what that character is and to make recommendations on how it can be preserved or enhanced.
