  • Herefore the Hereditary Lineage Ceased
    Countryside access and walking VALEWAYS Cerdded yng nghefn gwlad Newsletter Summer 2019 W elcome to the Valeways Summer Newsletter and what better way to find out ‘What’s occurring’ this summer than with pictures by the artist Haf Weighton. Having lived and worked in London for many years, exhibiting widely in galleries including Alexandra Palace and The Saatchi Gallery, Haf (literally translated as Summer) recently returned to South Wales and has settled in Penarth. It is no wonder that her recent exhibition at the Penarth Pier Gallery was entitled ‘Adref – Home’. A dref / Home included the featured artworks entitled ‘Shore Penarth’ and ’Beach Cliff, Penarth’ and are two in a series of four based on Haf’s involvement with a campaign group set up to fight proposals by the Vale of Glamorgan Council to replace all Penarth’s characteristic Victorian lamp posts with modern ones. Although the plans do not include The Esplanade, 21 streets listed, including Railway Terrace, Archer Place and Dingle Road will be affected and Haf has included their names in her work – something to look out for on the next walk around Penarth. We are indebted to Haf for allowing us to reproduce these examples of her work. For more information about Haf and her work please visit hafanhaf.com What’s in a name? Romilly, Egerton Grey, Llwyneliddon,(St Lythans) Llandochau Fach, Ystradowen, Whitmore and Jackson, Waitrose… and many more are not only names reflecting the Vale’s varied past but also continue to provide rich fodder for our modern day explorations – well, maybe not Waitrose.

  • 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’).

  • Eisteddfod Handout Prepared for Ninth Welsh Weekend for Everyone by Marilyn Schrader
    Eisteddfod handout prepared for Ninth Welsh Weekend for Everyone by Marilyn Schrader An eisteddfod is a Welsh festival of literature, music and performance. The tradition of such a meeting of Welsh artists dates back to at least the 12th century, when a festival of poetry and music was held by Rhys ap Gruffydd of Deheubarth at his court in Cardigan in 1176 but, with the decline of the bardic tradition, it fell into abeyance. The present-day format owes much to an eighteenth-century revival arising out of a number of informal eisteddfodau. The date of the first eisteddfod is a matter of much debate among scholars, but boards for the judging of poetry definitely existed in Wales from at least as early as the twelfth century, and it is likely that the ancient Celtic bards had formalized ways of judging poetry as well. The first eisteddfod can be traced back to 1176, under the auspices of Lord Rhys, at his castle in Cardigan. There he held a grand gathering to which were invited poets and musicians from all over the country. A chair at the Lord's table was awarded to the best poet and musician, a tradition that prevails in the modern day National Eisteddfod. The earliest large-scale eisteddfod that can be proven beyond all doubt to have taken place, however, was the Carmarthen Eisteddfod, which took place in 1451. The next recorded large-scale eisteddfod was held in Caerwys in 1568. The prizes awarded were a miniature silver chair to the successful poet, a little silver crwth to the winning fiddler, a silver tongue to the best singer, and a tiny silver harp to the best harpist.

  • Jane Williams (Ysgafell) (1806-85) and Nineteenth-Century Welsh Identity
    Gwyneth Tyson Roberts Department of English and Creative Writing Thesis title: Jane Williams (Ysgafell) (1806-85) and nineteenth-century Welsh identity SUMMARY This thesis examines the life and work of Jane Williams (Ysgafell) and her relation to nineteenth-century Welsh identity and Welsh culture. Williams's writing career spanned more than fifty years and she worked in a wide range of genres (poetry, history, biography, literary criticism, a critique of an official report on education in Wales, a memoir of childhood, and religious tracts). She lived in Wales for much of her life and drew on Welsh, and Welsh- language, sources for much of her published writing. Her body of work has hitherto received no detailed critical attention, however, and this thesis considers the ways in which her gender and the variety of genres in which she wrote (several of which were genres in which women rarely operated at that period) have contributed to the omission of her work from the field of Welsh Writing in English. The thesis argues that this critical neglect demonstrates the current limitations of this academic field. The thesis considers Williams's body of work by analysing the ways in which she positioned herself in relation to Wales, and therefore reconstructs her biography (current accounts of much of her life are inaccurate or misleading) in order to trace not only the general trajectory of this affective relation, but also to examine the variations and nuances of this relation in each of her published works. The study argues that the liminality of Jane Williams's position, in both her life and work, corresponds closely to many of the important features of the established canon of Welsh Writing in English.

  • Green Book of Meditations Volume Ten Research Resources On
    Green Book Of Meditations Volume Ten Research Resources On Druidism 2003 Introduction Originally this was going to be the bulk of ARDA 2’s Part Seven Miscellany, but due to some copyright concerns and the general wholeness of the subject matter, it seem that a Green Book was possible out of the material. Much of material of Section Two is from ARDA 1’s Part Eight, and much from ARDA 1’s Part Seven is now here in Section Three and Four. This section will naturally expand over the years, so it’s a good idea to separate it from the main body text of ARDA 2. I don’t wish you to misinterpret this book as if for me to say that you have to be fascinated and obsessed with Celtic research to understand Druidism. That’s not what I mean. Yes, I’ve studied the old ones, but I think there is more than can be learned form living plants and animals and each other than from the few remaining scraps. However, it’s still good and interesting to know, even if not practiced. I hope you enjoy it, and have fruitful research. Yours in the Mother, Mike Scharding March 20, 2003 Embassy of Japan, D.C.

    LLANCARFAN SOCIETY Newsletter 44 January-February 1992 RENEWAL OF SUBSCRIPTIONS Last time we commented on the fleeting year and the amazingly quick reappearance of Christmas. This time the reminder that time is passing is the need to ask you for the 1992 subscription which remains, as always, at £5.00. The Chancellor would be pleased to see this - perhaps we should hand the Exchequer over to our present and former Treasurers! A renewal form is enclosed with this Newsletter - please confirm your address and postcode to keep our records up to date. DATES FOR THE DIARY We shall be repeating the always-popular MAY DAY WALK, on Monday, 4th May, this year, with emphasis on the Deer Park at Llantrithyd. This is for the benefit of those who missed the visit to the Deer Park last year. There will be a BARBECUE at Abernant on Friday, June 12th. Phil Watts tells us that the playing of Boules will be introduced. This delightful French game has already taken-hold locally. The Three Horseshoes, Moulton, have a boulescourt (or whatever the correct name should be). What about a challange cup and/or Society Boules prize? We can guarantee the wine; perhaps the weather will be kind and give us a Mediterranean day. Perhaps some of our younger readers would like to come along and play? The ANNUAL DINNER will be on September 25th, also a Friday. ADDRESSES: Contributions for the Newsletter (which will be very welcome) should be sent to the Editor, John Etherington, Parc-y-Bont - New Buildings, Llanhowell, Solva, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, Dyfed, SA62 6XX.
