    VALE OF GLAMORGAN AMBASSADOR LLYSGENNAD BRO MORGANNWG Vale of Glamorgan Arts & Crafts ‘The Vale of Glamorgan & Glamorganshire’ Not surprisingly, historical records about the Vale of Glamorgan, often refer to just ‘Glamorgan’ or Glamorganshire’ and each will be mentioned in this account. Glamorgan or, sometimes, was one of the thirteen historicGlamorganshire counties of Wales. It was originally an early medieval petty kingdom of varying boundaries known as Glywysing until taken over by the Normans as a lordship. In later years, Glamorganshire was represented by the three counties of Mid Glamorgan, South Glamorgan and West Glamorgan. The name now survives in Vale of Glamorgan, the most southerly county in Wales, neighbouring those of Cardiff, Bridgend and Rhondda Cynon Taff. ARTS & CRAFTS a tradition of making in the Vale It is in no doubt that the Vale of Glamorgan has inspired poets and writers, painters and authors, from Turner to modern day photographers, yet it is music that remains the strong undercurrent here today, and more recently storytelling. The Vale is home to two internationally renowned festivals, one the Vale of Glamorgan Music Festival, the other Beyond the Border International Storytelling Festival. Pottery has also been a prevalent making tradition in the Vale of Glamorgan. The heritage and reputation of the Ewenny Potteries on the boarder of the Vale is known not just across Britain but worldwide amongst ceramics enthusiasts and the tradition continues today.

    YMDDIRIEDOLAETH GERDDI HANESYDDOL CYMRU WELSH HISTORIC GARDENS TRUST South and Mid Glamorgan Branch Visit to Coedarhdyglyn, St George-super-Ely, CF5 6SF on Friday 12th October at 2pm At the kind invitation of Rhodri Traherne our Branch will be visiting Coedarhydyglyn. a Grade II* garden is not open to the public, so this will be a rare opportunity to explore the gardens and wider parkland landscape. The house, which was commissioned by the Revd. John Montgomery Traherne in 1820, stands on the side of a deep valley in the centre of parkland and commands extensive views to the north. House and parkland together form a picturesque early C19th landscape. The topography of the site has largely determined the content of the grounds with woodland predominating. Terraced gardens immediately around the house are laid mainly to lawns. The Dell, a narrow spring fed valley to the south of the house, was developed as a woodland and water garden with strong Japanese influence by Llewellyn Edmund Traherne early in the C20th and is thought to have been the work of Alfred Parsons & Partners. The woodlands contain some notable plantings of rhododendrons and conifers, many of them planted by the present owner’s uncle Sir Cennydd Traherne and his wife Rowena who established the Cyprus garden and the Pinetum. The Pinetum is a special interest of our host who will accompany us on our tour. The entrance to Coedarhdyglyn is about ½ mile from Culverhouse Cross roundabout. Take to A48 to St Nicolas and, at the top of the hill, turn tight into a private driveway.

During the meeting he showed great interest in the Trust’s work, in particular the new WHGT Small Grants Scheme which was launched that day. His Royal Highness is, of course, very familiar with the challenges of preserving historic parks and gardens and understood exactly what we are aiming to achieve. More information on the scheme is available at www.whgt.org.uk His Royal Highness cut and partook of our celebratory cake which had been made by Becky Woszczycki and was presented with a copy of Edwardian Country Life by Helena Gerrish. Quite coincidentally a photograph of High Glannau, Helena’s house was on the front cover of Country Life and from the animated conversation it was clear that the Prince is both an enthusiastic and hands-on gardener who is deeply concerned over the future of the historic gardens of Wales.
