We have overseen the activity of Gwent Young Peopleʼs Theatre – as an integral part of Gwent Theatre – since 1976, but 50 years of thrilling productions are the product of the enthusiasm, foresight and love of theatre that Mel Thomas devoted to its beginning, and Gary Meredith, Julia Davies, Stephen Badman and a host of talented helpers have given so generously ever since.

  • Ironbridge Draethen | Near Cardiff | NP10 8GB IRONBRIDGE
    Ironbridge Draethen | Near Cardiff | NP10 8GB IRONBRIDGE Nestling in its riverside setting on the banks of the River Rhymney, Ironbridge provides a stunning opportunity to acquire a contemporary home which has been totally refurbished and extended by the occupying Vendors within the last eight years. It would be quite easy to run out of superlatives to describe this executive spacious beautifully appointed home which has many unusual and unique features which the Agent feels can only be fully appreciated by an internal inspection. Standing in fourteen acres of grounds, the property is ideal for country pursuits having the benefit of fishing rights and the stable block having been previously separately registered as a Riding School. The iron bridge adjacent to the property was built by Lord Tredegar in 1829 and was constructed to provide access for horse drawn vehicles from Ruperra Castle to and from the church at Lower Machen. Well situated for country pursuits and walks with the majority of the ground as pasture and paddocks, there is also small woodland with formal gardens and lake plus a further lake situated within the woodland which could quite easily be described as a Secret Garden. The main lake has six geese in residence and every winter is visited by flocks of Canada Geese thus enabling the excellent decking entertaining area within the garden to be used as a vantage point for watching wild life. The property has been remodelled to a particularly high standard and in a contemporary style having a unique turret as the main entrance hall with large expanses of glass making the entrance hall and first floor landing particularly light and airy.

  • C:\Users\Randy\Documents\Wesley
    Site Locator for Register of John Wesley’s Preaching Texts Introduction The list which follows on the next page provides location details for the sites mentioned in the Register of John Wesley’s Preaching Texts. Sites range from cities, to villages, to hamlets, to manor houses. They stretch across England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales; with scattered visits to the Channel Islands and Isle of Man; and Wesley’s single trips to North America and Holland. The general format of the location description is: village, county/shire, nation. For smaller sites, reference indicators of proximity to larger sites are often included. Charing Cross is used as the traditional center for London in such proximity descriptions. For locations in England, Scotland and Wales, the traditional county/shire name is given, both to reflect how Wesley would have known the site and in keeping with preferred historical practice. Sites in England, Scotland and Wales were originally identified using the Bartholomew Gazetteer of Places in Britain, 2d edn. (London: John Bartholomew & Son, Ltd., 1986). This resource has recently been made available in an updated online format. All identifications have been verified in this new resource. Those who wish to know the modern “administrative county” listings for these sites (as used on Mapquest, for example, rather than the traditional county/shire names), can find this information on this online source, which provides both types of information. Gazetteer of British Place Names: http://www.gazetteer.co.uk/ The Gazetteer also references the grid location for each site on the standard Ordnance Survey Maps of Great Britain (Landranger Series, 1:50 000).

    Diocese of Monmouth The Ministry Area of Bedwas, Machen, Michaelston-y-Fedw and Rudry Ministry Area Profile 2019 Our vision A Ministry Area where parishes work together to grow our congregations, engage with children and the community, to create a better place filled with God’s love What are we looking for? We are a group of four parishes with six diverse places of worship. We are looking for the right person to help us fulfil our vision: a person of spiritual maturity and comfortable supporting a broad church. Our preferred candidate will be innovative, welcoming, approachable, compassionate and empathetic: an effective communicator who respects confidentiality. We would welcome a person who brings experience of diversity and fully supports the ministry of the whole family of God; lay and ordained, male and female. Our Ministry Area covers a wide spectrum of worship from evangelical outreach to inspiration through liturgy and worship via our diverse activities and services. The parishes have worked with previous clergy to change and grow individually and across boundaries. We are eager to continue that growth and cooperation by welcoming and supporting an enthusiastic new leader. We are part of the Deanery of Bassaleg and the Area Dean, Fr John Connell, is committed to the mutual support and encouragement of all ministry members through regular chapter meetings and social events, and personal support, advice and encouragement for the new incumbent. How would the incumbent help us achieve our vision? By :- • Talking with, listening to and sharing with us, in fellowship, as we journey to fuller and deeper spirituality.
