  • Llangeitho & Welsh Revivals
    Llangeitho and Welsh Revivals D. Geraint Jones Wales, like America, has been called the land of revivals, and throughout its history has known many periods of blessing. The period between 1735 and 1905 was a time of almost continual blessing, with very few years passing without there being a revival somewhere in Wales, either on the local, regional or national level. There were few places that were so signally blessed during a large part of this period than Llangeitho in Cardiganshire. Revivals Under Daniel Rowland During the ministry of Daniel Rowland, from his conversion in 1735 until his death in 1790, there are said to have been about seven periods of powerful revival. Some of these are have been recorded, and we know when they occurred, but concerning others we have no accounts, or do not know for sure when they happened. The first, early in his ministry, is said to have begun while he was reading, or rather praying, the words of the Anglican Prayer Book Litany, 'By thine agony [in Welsh 'extreme agony'] and bloody sweat'. John Owen, one of Rowland's early biographers, says: 'The touching and melting manner in which Rowlands repeated these words, affected the whole assembly so much, that they almost all wept, and wept loudly... Many in the congregation were really convinced and converted, as their subsequent conduct proved.' In 1762 a very powerful revival broke out at Llangeitho as a result of the introduction of a new hymn-book by William Williams, Pantycelyn. It spread throughout Cardiganshire, and several other counties, even reaching North Wales.

  • Inspection Report Ysgol Ciliau Parc 2018
    A report on Ysgol Ciliau Parc Ciliau Aeron Lampeter Ceredigion SA48 8BX Date of inspection: April 2018 by Estyn, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate for Education and Training in Wales A report on Ysgol Ciliau Parc April 2018 About Ysgol Ciliau Parc Ysgol Ciliau Parc is situated in the village of Ciliau Aeron, which is between Aberaeron and Lampeter, in Ceredigion local authority. There are 84 pupils between 4 and 11 years old on roll. Welsh is the main medium of the school’s life and work. Over a three-year period, slightly over 3% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals. This is significantly lower than the national percentage, which is 19%. Thirty- eight per cent of pupils speak Welsh at home and very few are from ethnic minority backgrounds. The school has identified 24% of its pupils as having additional learning needs, but none has a statement of special educational needs. The percentage of pupils with additional learning needs is slightly higher than the national percentage of 21%. The headteacher was appointed to the post in September 2017 and the school was last inspected in November 2011. Further information is available from the Welsh Government My Local School website at the link below. http://mylocalschool.wales.gov.uk/Schools/SchoolSearch?lang=en 1 A report on Ysgol Ciliau Parc April 2018 Summary During their time at the school, many pupils achieve well and acquire purposeful Welsh communication skills, considering their starting points. Most pupils’ skills are developing effectively in English, numeracy, and information and communication technology (ICT).

To the east of the house are two walled gardens and a splendid farm complex. Type of siteTYPE OF SITE Picturesque parkland; wooded pleasure grounds with walks and lake; kitchen garden Main phases of construction MAIN PHASES OF CONSTRUCTION The present landscape was probably completed by 1803. There have been minor alterations since that time. Site description Llanerchaeron house is set within the wide, misfit valley of the river Aeron some three km to the south-east of Aberaeron. The house is surrounded by pleasure grounds and, to the south-west, parkland bordered by trees. To the north, beyond the river Aeron, the slopes of the valley are covered by mature and semi-mature trees. Llanerchaeron is described by Suggett (1995) as a ‘box villa’ and it incorporated the stone extension to the hall house which was added by either Llewellyn or John Parry sometime before 1690. The house is a two-storeyed, hipped slate roof, rendered block with a recessed entrance portico to the front (south-east) side.

  • The River Wharfe and Verbeia, Celtic Goddess
    Revue de Traduction & Langues Volume 17 Numéro 1/2018, pp. 7-18 مجلة الترجمة واللغات Journal of Translation & Languages ISSN (Print): 1112-3974 EISSN (Online): 2600-6235 The River Wharfe and Verbeia, Celtic Goddess Pr. BREEZE Andrew Charles University of Navarre-Spain [email protected] Received: 01/07/ 2018; Accepted: 10/ 07/ 2018, Published: 31/08/2018 Abstract: The Wharfe is a river of Yorkshire, in northern England. It was known to the Romans as 'Verbeia', also used of their fortress in what is now the town of Ilkley. Although 'Verbeia' is surely Celtic and ultimately gives the modern hydronym 'Wharfe', its meaning has been obscure. Comparison with other Celtic forms yet suggests the sense 'Powerful Striker, She who is Strong in Hitting'', with 'ver' as an intensive prefix and 'beia' related to British and Irish words for 'axe' and the like. The pagan Celts worshipped rivers as goddesses; the Wharfe is a formidable stream, liable to dangerous floods; the name hence indicates a female deity regarded with awe, whose name survives to this day on a Roman altar in Ilkley Museum. Keywords: Celtic; River-Names; Britain; Romans; Paganism ملخص: "وورف" )Wharfe( هو نهر بـ "يوركشاير" ــ شمال انجلتراــ وكان معروفا لدى الرومان باسم "Verbeia"، واستخدمت هذه الكلمة للتعريف بقلعتهم في ما يعرف اليوم بمدينة "إلكلي")lkley(. وعلى الرغم من أن كلمة "Verbeia" هي قطعا سلتيكية الاصل وتأخذ في النهاية الاسم المختصر المعاصر"وورف" )Wharfe(، إلا أن معناها غامض؛ وتفضي مقارنة هذه الكلمة مع أشكال كلمات سلتيكية أخرى إلى معنى"المهاجمة القو ية، تلك القو ية في الضرب"، مع "ver" كبادئة مكثفة و "beia" المتعلقة بالكلمات البر يطانية والايرلندية والتي تعني "الفأس" وما شابه.

Much of our route this morning except, for the forest paths, is on quiet country roads. After a lunch stop we continue towards Tregaron via quiet roads, farm tracks and across farm and moor land. At Tregaron we make our way to a local hostelry for overnight accommodation. DAY 03 – 7 miles / 11 kms Another sustaining Welsh breakfast before we continue our journey onto Strata Florida. We have a choice of routes depending on factors such as the makeup of our group, weather, etc; one route goes higher past abandoned farms and over moorland; the other routes go via the wetland nature reserve of Cors Caron. We arrive in plenty of time for an exploration of the remains of 1 GUIDED PILGRIMAGE the 12th Century Cistercian Monastery at Strata Florida.
