    '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.

    WSA Water Quality Monitoring Update 10 Dec 2020

    WSA Water Quality Monitoring Update 10 Dec 2020 It is now nearly 6 months since we began sampling Phosphate (P) levels in the Wye in the river. To date we have taken some 259 samples at 14 locations in the river & tributaries. Our team of volunteers has grown to 11 with the addition of monitoring the main river at Fawley. When lockdown and river levels permit we will install a water temperature monitor as part of our ongoing Temperature Monitoring programme at the same location. Whilst we are observing some interesting data on P levels it remains inappropriate to draw firm conclusions until we gather a more substantive volume of data from a range of conditions throughout the year. However, there are some initial interesting results that encourage more detailed investigations. I have attached our spreadsheet for information. If you wish a full ‘excel’ file for your personal study and analysis please email me at [email protected] Some of our data is being analysed by an undergraduate at Cardiff University, himself an angler. Beginning with basic mapping of the sites he will follow on to study temporal trends in phosphate and river levels. At first look he is beginning to observe trends between water colour and phosphate level which seems likely rainfall linked. He will use various techniques to produce visual representations of the spatial and temporal variations in water chemistry. More at our next update. In tandem with the usual phosphate checks for WSA, and in the aftermath of the most recent fish kill on the Llynfi, Gwent AS has invested in an ammonia checker which records NH3-N.

ADDRESS Former Mid Wales Hospital, Hospital Road , Talgarth CONSULTATIONS/COMMENTS Consultee Received Comments Powys County The Cabinet considered a report on the potential Council Executive impact on Council services of a large scale Cabinet development proposal at the site of the former Mid Wales Hospital in Talgarth. The Cabinet was agreed on the need for a co-ordinated response and a constructive dialogue with the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority. Management Team would discuss the issue to ensure that there was a co- ordinated response from services. The Board resolved that the Leader responds on behalf of the Council as follows: Taking all matters into account, the Council is concerned that with the significant residential element proposed, the scheme is out of balance with the stated aims of BBNPA policy, which seeks to maximise and promote the economic reuse of the site for the benefit of Talgarth and wider area.

    National Assembly for Wales to Urge the Welsh Government to List Or Otherwise Protect Buildings of Note on the Former Mid Wales Hospital Site

    P-04-365 Protect buildings of note on the Mid Wales Hospital site – Correspondence from Members of the public to the Committee William Powell AM Petitions Committee National Assembly for Wales Dear Mr Powell, The petition P-04-365, lead petitioner John Tushingham, “We call upon the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to list or otherwise protect buildings of note on the former Mid Wales Hospital site. Unlisted but in the Conservation Area they are an invaluable part of the architectural and social heritage of Talgarth.” is still under consideration. The committee has been extremely helpful in this matter for which I am most grateful. The Mid Wales Hospital is within the Talgarth Conservation Area and on the local list but I am wondering, in light of the renewed threat to the buildings, if it could be possible to ask Cadw to reconsider listing? A statement written by Judith Alfrey of Cadw 16 July 2012, in response to a request from SAVE, gives a brief assessment of the historic and architectural interest of the former Mid Wales Hospital, Talgarth, explaining the basis of the decision not to list, but setting out the understanding of where its interest lies. Three years have passed since this statement was made and Cadw’s website tells me: A key element of Cadw’s heritage regeneration activity is action related to heritage assets in a deteriorating condition. We have been working to identify the number and type of listed buildings at risk in Wales. Between 1840 and 1914, only buildings of a definite quality and character qualify (especially those which are the significant works of principal architects).
