  • Community No
    FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. M25 - LLANFIHANGEL Introduction 1. The present community of Llanfihangel lies in the Montgomeryshire hill country, where the terrain rarely rises above 1,000 feet. A number of watercourses and their valleys criss-cross the community: to the south the upper reaches of the river Efyrnwy and its small tributaries the nentydd Dolwar and Llwydiarth, and in the north the valley of the nant Alan. Likewise, a number of routes criss-cross the landscape: the B4382, B4395 and the B4393 being the main, with all but the latter, which leads to Lake Vyrnwy, being of little more than local importance. Llanfihangel and Dolanog are defined as small villages in the Powys Unitary Development Plan. The remainder of the population of this community lives in scattered farms and dwellings and in the rural settlement of Pont Llogel (Llwydiarth). 2. The community has a population of 516, an electorate of 410 (2005) and a council of 8 members. The precept required for 2005 is £3,200, representing a Council Tax Band D equivalent of £12.81. 3. In the 1986 Review the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales redrew the southern boundary of this community to include the settlement of Dolanog and its surrounding area within the new community of Llanfihangel. This entailed a number of transfers of areas to the new community: an area to the south of the settlement and including Gwaenynog, Tirdu and Gartheilin from the then communities of Llanfair Caereinion and Llangyniew, an area to the west of the settlement at Penisacyffin and taking in the wall of the Efynrnwy valley from the then communities of Llanerfyl and Llangadfan, and an area to the east of the settlement at Wern-y-wig and Glan-yr-afon-uchaf from the then community of Llangyniew.

There were about 3,000 fewer records in 2016 than in 2015 - Birdtrack records were lower by c.1,500 and those from Dolydd Hafren were reduced by c.2,000. The British Trust for Ornithology is a very important information source providing Garden Birdwatch, Birdtrack and Bird Ringing data (the latter not included in the chart/dataset above but some is used anecdotally throughout the report). No other BTO survey data is included. The Birdtrack data is valuable though ensuring integrity of the dataset initially provided by the BTO requires significant manual effort.

  • The Ann Griffiths Memorial Chapel
    Explore the Meini Bywiol Living Stones Heritage Trail 13 The Ann Griffiths Memorial Chapel The chapel was opened in 1904 as a memorial to Ann Griffiths, the famous Welsh hymn writer, who spent most of her life in Dolanog. The building is an interesting and unusual example of Arts and Crafts architectural style applied to a Nonconformist chapel. Ann Griffiths Ann Griffiths was a Calvinist Methodist hymn writer who lived the majority of her life in Dolanog. She was born in 1776, on a farm called Dolwar Fach and christened in the parish church of Llanfihangel-yng-Ngwynfa. In 1794 her mother died, and she helped to run the farm with her father and brother John until her father’s death in 1804. In October of the same year she married Thomas Griffiths, who came to live at Dolwar Fach with Ann and John. Ten months later, in August 1805, Ann died following the birth and death of a baby daughter, Elizabeth. She is buried in the churchyard as hymns.

  • Deep Rural Localities
    DEEP RURAL LOCALITIES October 2009 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS During the ‘deep rural’ research project the Wales Rural Observatory team travelled to a number of places and met a range of people. Invariably, everybody was friendly and cooperative. The Wales Rural Observatory wishes to extend its thanks to the people who helped with the research. Local authority personnel in Gwynedd, Pembrokeshire and Powys were instrumental in the early stages of the research: helping to establish the criteria for ‘deep rural’; providing advice on local conditions; and providing local contacts. The Clerks of Community Council in the research communities of Aberdaron, Clydau, Llanfihangel - yng- Ngwynfa and Llangammarch Wells were most helpful in arranging meetings with the community councils and setting-up meeting places, notice boards and catering arrangements for the research teams engaged in the household surveys. In this context, thanks are extended to those local shops and public houses that assisted the research by displaying notices and acting as distribution and collection centres for the household survey. The Wales Rural Observatory is grateful to the teams of post-graduate students who conducted the household survey. Finally, the Wales Rural Observatory wishes to thank the people who participated in the research, the people who live and work in ‘deep rural’ Wales.
