Pat Bevan-Morgan was telling me about a book by Jack Smith The Yeomen of Yore which is the story of the Glamorgan Yeomanry, the regiment of the towns and villages of the Vale of Glamorgan and the neighbouring districts, disbanded soon after the end of the First World War. The memorial “to the immortal memory of those officers, NCOs and men of the Glamorgan Yeomanry who fell in the Great War" stands on Stalling Down, outside Cowbridge. As I was to preach at a community service to commemorate the outbreak of the First World War the following Sunday in St Theodore’s Church, Kenfig Hill, I asked Pat if I could borrow the book, as I wanted to show the impact the First World War had on our communities. The book is a fascinating – and humorous – account of how our local farm labourers and quarrymen made their way, not to ‘The Front’ in France, but to Egypt and Palestine, led by officers with addresses with which we are familiar – Southerndown, Ogmore by sea, Merthyr Mawr, Bridgend. But more of the story of the Glamorgan Yeomanry another time… Attending the service at Kenfig Hill was Madeleine Moon, MP for Bridgend. Standing outside the porch after the service, I could feel someone taking my service booklet, in which were my sermon notes. It was Madeleine, who said – “I so much enjoyed your sermon – do you think I could borrow your notes to read again?” Of course, I said. A week or so later, a large brown envelope marked House of Commons was delivered to my door. In it was a copy of Hansard, the official record of the House of Commons, for Thursday 26th June, and a page marked with the speech made by Madeleine Moon MP in the debate on the Commemoration of the First World War. I quote from the 4 transcript of the speech: I must admit to some shenanigans on my part. On Sunday, I attended a church service in Kenfig Hill, celebrating a week of community activities in Kenfig Hill alongside a commemoration of the first world war. In the service, the address was given by the Venerable Philip Morris, archdeacon of Margam and priest in charge at the parish of Ewenny and St Brides Major. When we came out of the church, I sidled up to the archdeacon and said, “Great sermon! Can I borrow it?” As a result, much that the House will hear today the archdeacon helped me write. It is only appropriate that I commemorate the archdeacon’s part in this speech, because I too wanted to talk about how people in our local communities and the surrounding area played a part in the British war effort, in the trenches and at home. Many of the youngsters who went to war came from farm labouring jobs and had a very limited understanding of the wider world. For most of them, going as far as the large town of Bridgend would have been a huge achievement; to get as far as Cardiff would have been beyond their belief; and crossing the Severn into England would have been viewed with dread. I won’t quote any more of Madeleine’s speech (my sermon), so that I can recycle it for use in Ewenny and St Brides Major. However, her use of my sermon was a salutary reminder to the members of parliament on how war devastates communities – as we read the names on our war memorials, we can only imagine the effect that a war being fought in lands far beyond their imagining had on families in our villages. It is this thought that we will be reflecting on in the months to come as we commemorate the outbreak of the First World War one hundred years ago. Philip A friend is a person who listens attentively while you say nothing. 5 Have you noticed people carrying around shopping bags on which is a drawing of Ewenny Priory Church and the words Ewenny 900? These useful bags are available in a smaller linen at £3 and a larger canvas at £5 from Ewenny Pottery. The bags are advertising 2015 as a year of celebration for the 900th anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone of Ewenny Priory Church. Why 2015 as the 900th anniversary? It is impossible to determine the date of building of Ewenny Priory Church. In an article in the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians Malcolm Thurlby suggested a date between 1116 and 1126. However, Thurlby does acknowledge a foundation date by William de Londres of 1111 is possible, tying it in with the record in The Chronicle of Princes that William de Londres left Ogmore Castle in 1116. So it could be that we have missed the 900th anniversary of the foundation date already! 6 The three castles of Ogmore, Newcastle and Coity, which, along with Ewenny Priory, form the 'Bridgend quadrilateral' defensive ring, were all built before the death of Robert Fitzhamon, the Lord of Glamorgan, in 1107. The usual Norman pattern was that once the castles had been built to establish the lordship, then churches would be built, usually at first those to replace a Celtic foundation. The evidence suggests that Ewenny was a Celtic Christian foundation, so there would have been an early building or indeed rebuilding. The simplicity of the Romanesque decoration in Ewenny Priory Church suggests that the earlier date of building is most likely. Indeed, it has been suggested that the original design of Llandaff Cathedral was based on Ewenny Priory Church, and that was completed by 1120. So to take a mean date for the laying of the foundation stone makes 2015 a suitable year for celebrating the 900th anniversary. What is being planned? The main weekend of celebration will be 11th-13th July 2014. Saturday 11th July is the festival day of St Benedict, the founder of the Benedictine Order, to which Ewenny Priory belonged. A Flower Festival will be held in the Church over the weekend. Local organisations, such as WI, Mothers’ Union, Community Councils, schools etc are invited to have a flower display on the theme of 900 years of Ewenny Priory. A concert will be held in the evening of 11th July, and a Songs of Praise to conclude the Flower Festival in the evening of Monday 13th July. A Parish Eucharist, at which the preacher will be the Most Revd Dr Barry Morgan, Archbishop of Wales, will take place in the Priory Church on Sunday 12th July, with music by the St Donats Chamber Choir. This will be followed by a buffet lunch. 7 Other events will be held throughout the year. There will be the usual series of concerts organised by the Ewenny Festival Committee; these will reflect the music of the last 900 years. A Son et Lumière is being planned for March 2015, telling the story of the Priory in words, music and film. A Medieval Fayre will be held in front of the Priory House on Saturday 18th July, with a Hog Roast in the evening. Pilgrimages, lectures, medieval dance and music workshops, organ recitals, art exhibitions, art trails…….. Watch this space! Schools Projects An exciting part of the Ewenny 900 celebrations will be the involvement of children and young people. Artists and crafts-people will be working with local schools showing how the various carvings, stained glass, medieval tiles etc were made. We hope that we can produce a DVD and workbook that will be of interest and benefit to schools wider afield. For Sale In addition to the bags, a variety of items with the Ewenny 900 logo will be available for purchase. ipod covers, T-shirts, hoodies – indeed, anything that can be printed on! Ewenny Pottery will be making a special limited edition tile based on the designs of the medieval tiles in the Priory Church – and no doubt there will be a mug. A special souvenir book will be published, with photographs, poems and articles on the 900 years of the Priory. A series of free leaflets will also be available, including a Ewenny Village Trail. The next planning meeting for Ewenny 900 is on Tuesday 30th September at 7.30p.m. in the Priory Church. All are welcome to come along with ideas and offers of help. 8 WE WILL REMEMBER THEM The War Memorial in St Brides Major, around which many of us gathered on the evening of August 4th 2014 to commemorate the outbreak of World War I, was unveiled in November 1950. This Parish Memorial is dedicated to the local men and women who made the supreme sacrifice in the wars of 1914/18 and 1939/45.

Type of site Deer park; landscape park; informal gardens; walled kitchen garden Main phases of construction Second half of sixteenth century; 1803-05 Site description Ewenny Priory is situated on the flood plain of the Ogmore valley, just to the south of a canalized stretch of the river, to the south of Bridgend. A Benedictine Priory was founded here by Maurice de Londres of Ogmore Castle in about 1141. St Michael's church was built by William de Londres, Maurice's father, between 1116 and 1126. Later in the twelfth century, and with additions in about 1300, the substantial precinct walls and gatehouses were built, enclosing a roughly rectangular area to the south and west of the church, and giving the priory a fortified character. The house, outbuildings, and gardens were built within and incorporate parts of the monastic precinct. At the Dissolution the priory, which then had only three monks, was leased and shortly afterwards, in 1545, bought by Sir Edward Carne.

  • Ewenny Priory Archaeological Watching Brief Ep 99
    EWENNY PRIORY ARCHAEOLOGICAL WATCHING BRIEF EP 99 Carried out for Caroe and Partners, Architects Casgliad Tirlun Cymru (Welsh Landscape Collection) National Library of Wales Hollinrake Archaeology Co-op Consultant Archaeologists, 12 Bove Town, Glastonbury, Somerset BA6 8JE Telephone: 01458 833332 www.hollinrake.org.uk Report number 271 EWENNY PRIORY ARCHAEOLOGICAL WATCHING BRIEF SUMMARY The excavation of a service trench through the churchyard at Ewenny Priory exposed a feature tentatively identified as a filled-in watercourse, a possible wall foundation and 22 supine burials. The burials lay partially below the present church path which runs up to the North Porch giving rise to a discussion of the date of the path. Pottery of the Romano-British, medieval and post-medieval periods were recovered from in and around the graves. Consideration of the location of Ewenny within the Romano-British settlement pattern suggests the site lies near the place where the major Roman road for South Wales crosses the River Ewenny. An architectural fragment carrying an unusual haut relief suggests the site once ccontained an earlier church. 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Ewenny Priory is a Scheduled Ancient Monument (no. Gm 190). Renovation and repair to the building requires special sensitivity and expertise and attracts the support and guidance of CADW. Caroe and Partners, an architectural practice specialising in historic buildings, set out the project design and the ground works were carried out by Dimbylow Crump Ltd. under the project manager Gary Perkins. 1.2 As part of the renovation works a new service trench was excavated from west of the North Porch northwards to the road.

Smith Frontmatter More information THE HEADS OF RELIGIOUS HOUSES ENGLAND AND WALES 1377–1540 This final volume of The Heads of Religious Houses: England and Wales takes the lists of monastic superiors from 1377 to the dissolution of the monastic houses ending in 1540 and so concludes a reference work covering 600 years of monastic history. In addition to surviving monastic archives, record sources have also been provided by episcopal and papal registers, governmental archives, court records, and private, family and estate collections. Full references are given for establishing the dates and outline of the career of each abbot or prior, abbess or prioress, when known. The lists are arranged by order: the Benedictine houses (independent; dependencies; and alien priories); the Cluniacs; the Grandmontines; the Cistercians; the Carthusians; the Augustinian canons; the Premonstratensians; the Gilbertine order; the Trinitarian houses; the Bonhommes; and the nuns. An intro- duction discusses the use and history of the lists and examines critically the sources on which they are based. david m. smith is Professor Emeritus, University of York. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86508-1 - The Heads of Religious Houses England and Wales III, 1377-1540 Edited by David M.

  • Colwinston: a Historical Journey
    Colwinston: a historical journey by Chris Hawker First published by Cowbridge History Society, 2018 ISBN 978-1-9996874-0-3 © Chris Hawker, 2018 2 Cover illustration: Corner House Farm (now The Sages). Below: Colwinston Church Both sketches by Jeff Alden. Reproduced by kind permission of Mrs Betty Alden. 3 Acknowledgements I am very grateful to the very many people who have informed the development of this ‘story’. Mention must be made of Phil Jones who shaped many ideas and whose enthusiasm has kept local history alive in the village. Personal stories told to me by Clive Hawkins, Gwynneth Jeavons, Sheila and Jack Madge, Marion and Will Thomas and others tell of life in the more recent past. Richard and Myfanwy Edwards have given an insight into recent farming development. Pam Haines has prepared a history of the Church from which I have borrowed. This ‘project’ started with reading R. Gwyn Thomas’ History of Colwinston, based on a personal archive he built over many years as a tenant farmer, District and County Councillor, and a true champion of the village in the second half of the 20th century. This history is intended to complement and update his work, taking a more chronological approach. It will also be supported by the forthcoming publication of an updated village record, Colwinston – A Changing Village, being published by the local community, led by Heather Maclehose. Cowbridge History Society encouraged me to develop this into a final text, in particular putting me in touch with local experts and advising on the final presentation. The accuracy and authenticity of the work has depended heavily on the detailed knowledge and authority of Brian Ll.
