The earliest settlement on the site is a motte, supposedly associated with Owain Brogyntyn. By the mid- sixteenth century the owner was John Lacon, whose estate included Constable's Hall at Porkington and Llanddyn near Llangollen in Denbighshire. His daughter, Margaret, was married in 1556 to William Maurice (1542-1622) of Clenennau in Penyfed, Caernarfonshire, eldest son of Moris ap Eliza and Ellen Puleston. Since 1501, when Moris ap John ap Meredudd received a gift of land in Clenennau from his foster-father, Rhys ap Ieuan ap Dicws Foel, the Moris family had accumulated property in Penyfed, Penmorfa, Trefan, Pennant, Clenennau and parts of Merionethshire. William Maurice continued this trend over the next five decades by the further acquisition of lands in Shropshire, Denbighshire and Merionethshire, by leases from the Corporation of Harlech and enclosures in Harlech Marsh. He was widowed in 1572, but remarried twice, in 1576 to Ellen Lewis, widow of John Lewis of Chwaen Wen, Anglesey, and in 1605 to Jane Johnes (nee Puleston), widow of Sir Thomas Johnes of Abermarlais, Carmarthenshire. From 1581 he held several important public offices in the county administration of Caernarfonshire and Merionethshire, and he was knighted upon the accession of James I in 1603. - - Sir William's eldest son, William Wynn Maurice (1559-c.1598) had predeceased him, leaving two daughters, Ellen and Margaret, as coheiresses upon their grandfather's death in 1622. Ellen Maurice (1578-1626), was married to John Owen of Bodsilin and Fernhill, secretary to Sir Francis Walsingham, and eight children were born prior to his death in 1611. She remarried in 1616, to Sir Francis Eure, Chief Justice of North Wales, by whom she had one son, Compton. By then she was living at Constable's Hall, Porkington, where she had the house rebuilt in 1617. Ellen died in 1626, leaving her eldest son, John Owen (1600-1666), as heir to the Clenennau estate, and his brother William (1607-1670), to inherit Porkington. - -Sir John, who was a staunch Royalist, served as Vice-Admiral of North Wales and Governor of Conway Castle. Col. William Owen defended Harlech Castle during the Civil War. Their sister, Margaret, was a forbear by marriage of the Godolphin family of Abertanat. - -John Owen's son, William (1624-1677/8) married Catherine, daughter of Lewis Anwyl of Parc, Llanfrothen in 1648. He inherited both Clenennau and Porkington from his father and his uncle respectively, but he based his family home at Llanddyn. The surviving heir of William and Catherine Owen was their son, Robert (1658-1698). He was knighted in 1678, served as MP for Merionethshire and Caernarfon Borough, and held several other local public offices. In 1683 he married Margaret, daughter of Owen Wynn and heiress to the substantial estates of Glyn, Sylfaen and Ystumcegid. A short time later he also acquired a moiety of Nant in Flintshire by a settlement with his wife's family. Unfortunately, Sir Robert Owen died prematurely in 1698, leaving massive debts. - -The successor to the estate was William Owen (1688-1767), who eased his financial burden by marrying Mary, daughter of Dr Henry Godolphin, Dean of St Paul's and Provost of Eton, in 1730. William Owen's estate was additionally enlarged by the purchase in 1736 of part of the Brynker lands in Dolbenmaen, which he promptly mortgaged to pay for extensive renovations at Porkington. - -The Brogyntyn estate descended to the eldest surviving son, Robert Godolphin Owen (1733-1792), who remained a bachelor. In the absence of male heirs the estate was inherited by his sister Margaret (1738-1806), who married Owen Ormsby of Willowbrook, co. Sligo, 1777. Their daughter, Mary Jane (1781-1869), became heiress to Brogyntyn, Clenennau, Glyn and her Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru = The National Library of Wales Tudalen | Page 4 GB 0210 BROTYN Brogyntyn Estate and Family Records father's lands in Ireland. Her wealth enabled her to carry out a complete renovation of Porkington. In 1815 she married William Gore, another Irish landowner, who assumed the additional family name of Ormsby. Considerable additions were made to the estate during his lifetime, the largest being Drenewydd in Whittington, purchased from the Peniarth estate in 1830 for ##35,000. A fire caused major damage to parts of Brogyntyn Hall in 1874.- -The title Baron or Lord Harlech was first awarded to John Ralph Ormsby-Gore (1816-1876) in 1875 shortly before he died. He was succeeded under a special remainder by his younger brother, William Richard Ormsby-Gore (1819-1904), second Baron Harlech. The latter had followed a military career and held several public offices in Ireland between 1841 and 1876. He married in 1850 to Emily Charlotte, daughter of Admiral Sir George Francis Seymour. By 1883 his estates comprised 57,647 acres in North Wales, Shropshire, Berkshire and Ireland, and they were further increased by the purchase of Pentre-pant near Brogyntyn in 1893. - -George Ralph Charles Ormbsy-Gore, third Baron Harlech (1855-1938), followed a distinguished military and public career which included a command of the Welsh Guards and he made a prestigious marriage in 1881 to Lady Margaret Ethel Gordon, daughter of Charles, Marquis of Huntley. Their son succeeded to a depleted estate, for in 1894 the trustees were permitted to sell land in Treflys and in 1911 all the Eifionydd property (over 8000 acres) was sold, except the family's ancestral home at Clenennau. - -William George Arthur Ormsby- Gore, fourth Baron Harlech, (1885-1964), saw active service in Egypt during the First World War and he held numerous public offices including

OSWALD ROAD, OSWESTRY, 1878. PREFACE F all the works which have been written relating to the general or family history O of North Wales, none have been for centuries more esteemed than the History of the Gwydir Family. The Hon. Daines Barrington, in his preface to his first edition of the work, published in 1770, has well said, "The MS. hath, for above.a cent~ry, been so prized in North Wales, that many in those parts have thought it worth while to make fair and complete transcripts of it." Of these transcripts the earliest known to exist is one in the Library at Brogyntyn. It was probably written within 45 years of the death of the author; but besides that, it contains a great number of notes and additions of nearly the same date, which have never yet appeared in print. The History of the Gwydir Family has been thrice published. The first editiun, edited by the Hon. Daines Barrington, issued from the press in 1770. The second was published in Mr.

Volume formerly belonging to Lord Berwick, at Attingham House, near Shrewsbury, and afterwards in the possession of Sir THOMAS PHILLIPPS, Baronet, AT MIDDLEHILL, WORCESTERSHIRE.

JL 222/064 THE MONTGOMERYSHIRE PEDIGREES, THE "VISITATIONS OF WALES", by LEWIS DWNN. The project, commenced in 1884, for printing these pedigrees for the use of the Members of the Powys-land Club is now carried out. The high authority of Lewis Dwnn's Visitations, and the extreme rarity and costliness of the work in which they were first printed by the Welsh Manuscript Society in 1846, rendered it desirable that the Montgomeryshire portion of such Visitations should be placed in the hands of the Members. This has been done, with- out extra cost, as part of the publications of the Club. One hundred extra copies have been printed before the type was distributed, which are intended to be offered to Members of the Club in the first instance. Any not taken by them will be offered for sale to the public. INTRODUCTION. To aid the memory in cherishing and perpetuating the record of what is honourable and of good report in families, has been pro- nounced "the science of fools with long memories." If wisdom were always associated with a short or tarnished one, we might accept such a dictum; but, as this is not so, we may safely refer else- where for a more truthful definition of so well-abused and mis- represented a study as genealogy.

  • News Networks in Early Modern Wales*
    1 News Networks in Early Modern Wales* The circulation of political news has been a core element in the post-revisionist scholarship of early modern England. Initially influenced by F.J. Levy’s 1982 article on the manner in which information spread among the gentry, but more profoundly indebted to Richard Cust’s 1986 essay, ‘News and politics in early-seventeenth century England’, scholars have dismantled the revisionist picture of provincial elites as relatively uninterested in and detached from developments at the political centre.1 A deluge of scholarship in the past three decades has examined the ways in which news and information helped shape popular as well as elite politics in early modern England.2 In all this work the place of Wales has remained unclear and largely uninterrogated. Historians of England are unfamiliar with the material in Welsh archives and are wary of including the principality in their studies.3 Welsh scholars, on the other hand, have yet to consider the ways in which the country fits (or does not fit) into prevailing paradigms of early modern news circulation. The present article addresses this neglect by examining the ways in which Welsh gentlemen accessed, consumed and interpreted political news. It argues that, in many respects, they followed the example of their English counterparts by obtaining epistolary reports, buying newsbooks and subscribing to scribal news services. They participated fully in the information revolution of the seventeenth century and were cognisant of political developments in England, Britain and Europe. However, the article also argues that their participation was shaped by matters of personal connection, culture and regional interest, all of which had distinctively Welsh dimensions.

Teme Meadows and Powick Mills Appendix 1 – Historic Mapping Appendix 2 – Designations Appendix 3 – Links to Further Information 2 Introduction The River Severn is an extremely important feature in Worcester. It is the reason for the city’s existence, has historic importance as a means of transportation and today is a significant recreational and amenity facility. The Riverside Conservation Area was first designated on 8th September 1992 and boundary amendments were previously made on 13th June 2000. View of the cathedral from Diglis A conservation area is defined in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 as an area of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance. This appraisal is in line with sections 69 and 71 of the 1990 Act, which places a duty on the local authority to designate and manage their conservation areas. Designation helps to ensure that an area identified for its special interest and significance is protected and managed appropriately. 3 Conservation is the management of change to a significant place or asset, in a way that will best sustain its heritage values, while recognising opportunities to reveal or reinforce those values for present and future generations. The conservation area appraisal is a means of identifying and assessing what the special architectural or historic interest of an area is, how this contributes to the areas character and appearance, and is an opportunity to identify where this can be enhanced.

Its construction was ordered and supervised by the Oxford Paving Commission, a body set up in 1771 by a local Act of Parliament to effect general improvements in the streets and roads of the city.' Apart from Magdalen Bridge, it was also responsible for the new Market, repaving the main thoroughfares, removing Bocardo, Eastgate, Carfax Conduit and other obstruc­ tions, lighting, drainage, traffic regulation and refuse disposal. This point of the Cherwell has been used as a crossing at least since Anglo­ Saxon times. There is a reference to the existence of a bridge in 1004 and finds dateable to between the 9th and 11th centuries have been made at the eastern end of the present bridge and a few yards downstream at the south-west corner of the island opposite the Botanic Garden.' ignificantly, these finds were of objects relating to transport: stirrup irons, a prick spur and a horse shoe. The bridge is described in the middle ages as 'a1 pount tretable sur Petypount ' indicating a wooden, trestle construction or, more probably, a drawbridge.3 The stone bridge that survived until 1772 was thus of late medieval construction. Where the bridge crossed, the river was divided into two streams, the one on the east being the main course and that on the west the confluence of Holywell Mill stream and Magdalen College Water Walks. The two streams were connected by a shallow dyke along the nortllern side of the bridge which was used as a ford but which disappeared completely during the 19th century.
