  • VALE of GLAMORGAN Elizabeth Devon
    VALE OF GLAMORGAN Elizabeth Devon REPORT OF FIELD MEETING ON JUNE 27TH LEADER: Dr. GERAINT OWEN, UNIVERSITY OF SWANSEA We arrived by coach on a truly dismal summer’s day and parked in a most unlikely layby to wait for Geraint Owen. The rain was almost horizontal and our coach driver was sure we were in the wrong place; the situation could only improve - we were early after all. At exactly the agreed time, Geraint arrived and the rain stopped; spirits lifted. We were in the little seaside town of Ogmore-by-Sea which is situated on the southern edge of the Carboniferous synclinal basin and western edge of the Vale of Glamorgan. Refer to geology maps on accompanying sheet. At our first site, (SS865746), the Carboniferous Limestone High Tor beds are apparently flat but that is only because here we are at the centre of a large anticline. This feature is evident on the Bridgend BGS map as the High Tor Limestone reappears in the offshore Tusker Rock, with the older Gully Oolite to the east. The Gully Oolite is west of High Tor limestone at Ogmore. At this site there are many excellent fossils, whose shells have been silicified so making them more resistant than the surrounding limestone and consequently, well preserved. There were many examples of rugose corals, for example, Caninia - solitary and horn-shaped. These grew straight up from a soft sea floor. Many show a definite kink in the cone around 10cm up. This probably represents a storm event which knocked the coral over. It then regrew upright again.

Accounting for the Fund The Companies Act 1985 does not apply to all public bodies but the principles that underlie the Act’s accounting and disclosure requirements are of general application: their purpose is to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the body concerned. The Government therefore has decided that the accounts of public bodies should be prepared in a way that conforms as closely as possible with the Act’s requirements and also complies with Accounting Standards where applicable. The accounts are prepared in accordance with accounts directions issued by the Secretary of State for Transport. The Fund’s accounts consolidate the General Lighthouse Authorities’ (GLAs) accounts and comply as appropriate with this policy. The notes to the Bishop Rock Lighthouse accounts contain further information. Section 211(5) of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 requires the Secretary of State to lay the Fund’s accounts before Parliament.

  • The Search for San Ffraid
    The Search for San Ffraid ‘A thesis submitted to the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in the fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts’ 2012 Jeanne Mehan 1 Abstract The Welsh traditions related to San Ffraid, called in Ireland and Scotland St Brigid (also called Bride, Ffraid, Bhríde, Bridget, and Birgitta) have not previously been documented. This Irish saint is said to have traveled to Wales, but the Welsh evidence comprises a single fifteenth-century Welsh poem by Iorwerth Fynglwyd; numerous geographical dedications, including nearly two dozen churches; and references in the arts, literature, and histories. This dissertation for the first time gathers together in one place the Welsh traditions related to San Ffraid, integrating the separate pieces to reveal a more focused image of a saint of obvious importance in Wales. As part of this discussion, the dissertation addresses questions about the relationship, if any, of San Ffraid, St Brigid of Kildare, and St Birgitta of Sweden; the likelihood of one San Ffraid in the south and another in the north; and the inclusion of the goddess Brigid in the portrait of San Ffraid. 2 Contents ABSTRACT ........................................................................................................................ 2 CONTENTS........................................................................................................................ 3 FIGURES ...........................................................................................................................
