Llanbedr Painscastle, Lies to the North of the Hills Known As the Begwms in the Southern Part of Radnor District, Nearly 12Km to the South-East of Builth Wells
Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust Historic Settlements Survey - Radnorshire Llanbedr SO 143463 16158 Introduction Llanbedr, sometimes known as Llanbedr Painscastle, lies to the north of the hills known as the Begwms in the southern part of Radnor District, nearly 12km to the south-east of Builth Wells. The church accompanied only by Llanbedr Hall Farm occupies a broad east-facing spur sandwiched by converging courses of a stream known in its lower reaches as Bachawy, which is a tributary of the Wye. This brief report examines Llanbedr’s development up to 1750. For the more recent history of the settlement, it will be necessary to look at other sources of information and particularly at the origins and nature of the buildings within it. The accompanying map is offered as an indicative guide to the historic settlement. The continuous line defining the historic core offers a visual interpretation of the area within which the settlement developed, based on our interpretation of the evidence currently to hand. It is not an immutable boundary line, and may need to be modified as new discoveries are made. The map does not show those areas or buildings that are statutorily designated, nor does it pick out those sites or features that are specifically mentioned in the text. We have not referenced the sources that have been examined to produce this report, but that information will be available in the Historic Environment Record (HER) maintained by the Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust. Numbers in brackets are primary record numbers used in the HER to provide information that is specific to individual sites and features. -

The Radnorshire Rare Plant Register 2020 Edition
Subject to revision The Radnorshire Rare Plant Register 2020 edition Comprising records of vascular plant taxon of conservation interest made since 1987 in the Vice County of Radnorshire based on the original by Ray Woods Radnor Lily at Stanner Rocks. Photo by 2016 Editor Polly Spencer-Vellacott 26 /03/20 2020 Editor Barbara Brown Barbara Brown Radnorshire Rare Plants Register 2020 Edition Summary This report collates records made since 1987 of the native and archeophyte vascular plants occurring in Radnorshire which are of conservation concern. Of the 1727 native and archeophyte vascular plant species recorded from the British Isles 1467 have been recorded from Wales (Dines 2008). The Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland lists on its website as recorded from Radnorshire up to the year 2020 a total of 1461 taxa, 875 of which were considered to be native. Most hybrids and apomictic species in the genera Hieracium (hawkweeds), Rubus (brambles)and Taraxacum (dandelions) have been poorly studied in Radnorshire so they are not included here. The neophyte and casual taxa have also been removed but archeophyte species and important hybrids are included. This gives 307 taxa which are included in this report. The results of the analysis have placed the taxa in the following categories (NB; A taxon can occur in more than one category). British Red Data Book Species (RDB) The British RDB lists taxa made up of 2 Critically Endangered, 1 Endangered, 8 Vulnerable and 15 Near Threatened taxa that occur in this Rare Plant Register. In total 8.5% of the vascular plant flora of Radnorshire are placed in a British threat category, substantially less than the 22% of the Welsh flora and 25% of the British flora. -

Pif Gyfarch Gelfydd
The Poems of Myrddin No. 3 The Apple-Trees Foreword I never intended to write this booklet, nor to revisit Myrddin in detail. But at my wife Charlotte's instigation, in July 2016 I held an exhibition of my old paintings in King Street Gallery, Carmarthen, and at the opening gave bit of a talk about them, which necessitated mentioning Myrddin, since he appeared in a number of them. At the end of the talk, on impulse, I said if there was any interest in it, I'd thought of doing a course of talks looking in detail at the actual Myrddin poetry. (Because I feel it's a shame that while Myrddin/Merlin is so well-known by all, hardly anybody knows about the poetry on which the figure is ultimately based. It ought to be better known.) A couple of people subsequently expressed an interest, and I thought, "Help! I'd better do a bit of homework on this. I know! As an initial course aid I'll just quickly dash off a translation of the seven poems traditionally attributed to Myrddin." So I plunged in with the "Apple-Trees". But then I found people didn't actually want an academic-type course, so I didn't after all have a prospective class happening. Having put my hand to the plough with the "Apple-Trees" though, I thought I might as well see it through. But since I now didn't have a target audience in mind, my approach bit-by-bit deepened from the level of treatment I had initially been aiming at. -
