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.

    Agenda Item No. THE VALE OF GLAMORGAN COUNCIL VALE OF GLAMORGAN CONSERVATION AREA ADVISORY GROUP : 19 JANUARY 2012 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC REGENERATION 2011/01257/FUL Received on 13 December 2011 Mrs. Elizabeth Renwick,, Ty Mawr, Llanbethery, Barry, Vale of Glamorgan., CF62 3AN Nick Renwick Architect,, Ty Cattwg, Llancarfan, Barry, Vale of Glamorgan., CF62 3AL Ty Mawr, Llanbethery, Barry Construction of new house The development/property is situated within the Llanbethery Conservation Area. The application will be advertised. Site and Context The site is located on the main road through the hamlet of Llanbethery, and between Whitwell House to the west and the garden of Ty Mawr to the east. Ty Mawr is a locally listed County Treasure, having an enclosed garden and coursed stone stable block, and occupying a central position in the hamlet. The site is 0.03 hectares in size and is described in the forms as a ‘redundant vegetable garden’, this being enclosed to side and rear by traditional high stone boundary walling, with a lower stone wall to the frontage and Leylandii trees to the boundary with Whitwell House. The overall character of the Llanbethery Conservation Area is defined in the Conservation Area Appraisal, as “mainly white painted historic buildings which sit close to the road, and the rest of the buildings which provide attractive front gardens with stone walling, trees and hedging. The rural qualities of the hamlet are reinforced by the grass verges, informal street surfaces (no pavements) and close proximity of the surrounding countryside”. Llanbethery is also located within the Lower Thaw Valley Special Landscape Area.

  • A Welsh Classical Dictionary
    A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY DACHUN, saint of Bodmin. See s.n. Credan. He has been wrongly identified with an Irish saint Dagan in LBS II.281, 285. G.H.Doble seems to have been misled in the same way (The Saints of Cornwall, IV. 156). DAGAN or DANOG, abbot of Llancarfan. He appears as Danoc in one of the ‘Llancarfan Charters’ appended to the Life of St.Cadog (§62 in VSB p.130). Here he is a clerical witness with Sulien (presumably abbot) and king Morgan [ab Athrwys]. He appears as abbot of Llancarfan in five charters in the Book of Llandaf, where he is called Danoc abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 179c), and Dagan(us) abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 158, 175, 186b, 195). In these five charters he is contemporary with bishop Berthwyn and Ithel ap Morgan, king of Glywysing. He succeeded Sulien as abbot and was succeeded by Paul. See Trans.Cym., 1948 pp.291-2, (but ignore the dates), and compare Wendy Davies, LlCh p.55 where Danog and Dagan are distinguished. Wendy Davies dates the BLD charters c.A.D.722 to 740 (ibid., pp.102 - 114). DALLDAF ail CUNIN COF. (Legendary). He is included in the tale of ‘Culhwch and Olwen’ as one of the warriors of Arthur's Court: Dalldaf eil Kimin Cof (WM 460, RM 106). In a triad (TYP no.73) he is called Dalldaf eil Cunyn Cof, one of the ‘Three Peers’ of Arthur's Court. In another triad (TYP no.41) we are told that Fferlas (Grey Fetlock), the horse of Dalldaf eil Cunin Cof, was one of the ‘Three Lovers' Horses’ (or perhaps ‘Beloved Horses’).

  • Plymouth House West Dimlands Road, Llantwit Major, Cardiff
    Plymouth House West Dimlands Road, Llantwit Major, Cardiff. CF61 1SJ Plymouth House West Dimlands Road, Llantwit Major, Cardiff. CF61 1SJ This outstanding, three storey house is set in the heart of the beautiful Medieval town with its own railway station, excellent schools and amenities and within walking distance of the beach. Cardiff is just 10 miles away with its major travel links by road, air and rail. This half of a historic house of significance has parts which date back to the 1300s, and has a unique mix of Georgian and Medieval sections all restored to the highest of standards retaining an abundance of its original features. The house is built on exposed bedrock forming the private driveway and terraces around the house. There is a stunning central walled courtyard and set above is an extensive mature and well stocked garden with a unique stone bridge linking the garden to the guest suite, giving the guest suite its own external access. Plymouth House has a fascinating history. Once home to the Earl of Plymouth, this former manor has medieval roots, its listing referring to the West wing as 15th Century but an old stone mullion window within the house, discovered during the recent restoration of the property has been dated at around 1300. The property features in The Greater Houses of Glamorgan and The Royal Commission on Ancient and Historical Monuments in Wales. The house has two distinct atmospheres. The front of the property is Georgian with a drawing room of grand proportions and the rear section, which includes the former dairy, has a more intimate atmosphere, with oak beams and flagstone floors.
