    Newtown Miscellaneous A small plane landing at the post war flying club air strip at Heldre in Buttington/Trewern Richard Christmas is reported to have said that the Trewern aircraft was ex Belgian and he was correct. Avion Fairy Tipsy build for Aeronautique Militaire (Belgium Airforce) as tandem trainer. Many ground and aircrew plus planes evacuated to France and then to England in 1940. Attempts to set up production again in 1946 failed due to poor sales because of surplus ex- military light craft. It would not be known if the plane shown was pre or post war. Three cars, two probably pre 1939. Two pre-war Rolls Royce’s. This car has a mascot but is not a Rolls Royce but an Alvis Grey Lady. The bumper shows a display of badges that was common at the time. Dolerw, off the Milford Road, Newtown View on the original main road heading down into Staylittle. The view in 2019 would look at Llwyngog, surrounded by the Hafren Forest. Llwyngog forestry village had just been built in 1950. Repairing the railway line. Remnants of a siding and jetty at Aberdyfi built in the 1870s for the projected Waterford packet.

  • 'IARRIAGES Introduction This Volume of 'Stray' Marriages Is Published with the Hope That It Will Prove
    S T R A Y S Volume One: !'IARRIAGES Introduction This volume of 'stray' marriages is published with the hope that it will prove of some value as an additional source for the familv historian. For economic reasons, the 9rooms' names only are listed. Often people married many miles from their own parishes and sometimes also away from the parish of the spouse. Tracking down such a 'stray marriage' can involve fruitless and dishearteninq searches and may halt progress for many years. - Included here are 'strays', who were married in another parish within the county of Powys, or in another county. There are also a few non-Powys 'strays' from adjoining counties, particularly some which may be connected with Powys families. For those researchers puzzled and confused by the thought of dealing with patronymics, when looking for their Welsh ancestors, a few are to be found here and are ' indicated by an asterisk. A simple study of these few examples may help in a search for others, although it must be said, that this is not so easy when the father's name is not given. I would like to thank all those members who have helped in anyway with the compilation of this booklet. A second collection is already in progress; please· send any contributions to me.

  • 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 ...........................................................................................................................

  • Powys) Conjoined Public Inquiry (CPI) Into
    OBJ/003/LAND/POE/S4 Mid Wales (Powys) Conjoined Public Inquiry (CPI) into 5 wind farm Applications and a 132 kV Overhead Power Line Connection. Session 4 – Cumulative Effects Proofs of Evidence re: Landscape. Culture and Heritage. Presented by: Llansanffraid Action Group (LAG) against Wind Farms and Pylons in Mid Wales On behalf of: Cyngor Cymuned Llansanffraid a Deuddwr Community Council : Cyngor Cymuned Carreghwfa Community Council Author - Rh. ap Rh. Owen, BVSc Hons, DVR, DipACVS, FRCVS Preface This proof of evidence is presented on behalf of the above bodies because it is abundantly clear to them that a direct consequence of the proposed wind farm developments presently being considered by the Public Inquiry has to include the National Grid 400kV line, otherwise the wind farms would not be functional. Therefore the National Grid 400kV line is a relevant and significant part of this whole infrastructure project and needs to be considered by the inquiry. Hence the reason for this submission which is to discuss the cumulative consequences of these Wind Farm projects on our communities. February 2014. A. Cumulative effects on Landscape A.1 Landscape ‘sensitivity’,’ value’ and ‘visual and sensory amenity’. A.1.1 Landscape characteristics and attributes, hence ‘Value’, has been quantified to a degree in the ‘Landmap’ (Crown Copyright). Landmap however has only quantified landscape as ‘visual and sensory amenity’ which it has limited to three categories High, Moderate and Low. Even so Landmap is the basis on which objective assessments are then made in greater detail. A.1.2 To understand and define how various landscape values may be sensitive to the development of overhead power lines and associated pylons they need to be categorised into 5 more detailed tiers of ‘Sensitivity’, namely High, Medium/high, Medium, Low/medium and Low.
