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 ........................................................................................................................... -

Gaeaf 2020 Winter
NEWYDDION DINAS TYDDEWI ST DAVIDS CITY NEWS Gaeaf 2020 Winter Mayor’s Letter and Christmas Greetings As this is my first letter, I would like to thank the Councillors for electing me as the Mayor with my wife Sylvia as Mayoress of St Davids City Council, supported by Councillor Alan York as the Deputy Mayor. I will endeavour to serve the local community during this unprecedented time to the best of my ability. I also take this opportunity to thank my predecessor, Cllr Mike Chant and Mayoress Sue Chant for all the valuable community work they did and contributed to over the last two years. For those who do not know me, my formal Sikh name is Balbir Singh Sehmi, but I am known as Bira Sehmi. I was born in Nairobi, Kenya (pioneering Sikh family in East Africa last century). I was educated in Nairobi and London. I have worked in various well-known international architects’ practices in London, Surrey, and Hampshire. My wife is a local born farmer’s daughter (the late Perkin and Enid Jones) and I have been coming to St Davids since mid 1960’s. We have been full time residents since 2010 and I was elected as a City Councillor in May 2017. I am a committee member of St Davids Community Forum, Memory Cafe, Friends of Oriel y Parc and St Davids Historical Society. My interests are cooking, cricket and spiritual healing. Well what a year it has turned out be. This pandemic has affected us all in one way or another. During this pandemic, the local community has shown its strength and agility in assisting those who needed the most help in whichever way they could with their generous donations. -
Annual Report 2005 – 2006
This watermark does not appear in the registered version - http://www.clicktoconvert.com North Pembrokeshire Transport Forum Fforwm Trafnidiaeth Gogledd Penfro ANNUAL REPORT 2005 – 2006 Introduction The Forum works for the provision of an effective integrated transport system in the North Pembrokeshire area, promotes the benefits of public transport and works towards greater use of public transport systems. Its activities involve conducting research and gathering data with regard to all aspects of transport; providing an advice and assistance service to the travelling public; actively promoting its aims to and through governmental, quasi-governmental and advisory bodies; and working with bodies with similar aims. The Forum has been taking stock of the transport scene in North Pembrokeshire as it comes to the end of its three-year grant from the Sustainable Development Fund and its first six years of work. With regard to the provision of transport we have seen many improvements in bus, cycle and community transport services and facilities in North Pembrokeshire during the past six years. In contrast, there have been no improvements in train services. The following report provides more detail with regard to transport developments and the work of the Forum during the past year. Buses Service improvements: · Pembrokeshire County Council (PCC) is subsidising extra services between Fishguard and Haverfordwest on Friday and Saturday evenings in response to a request from POINT, the Fishguard young people’s drop-in centre. · In consultation with the community, PCC has arranged improved bus services for Spittal, with the addition of a Wednesday service and a shorter journey added to the existing Friday service. -
