They had established their company “Laura Ashley” in Mid Wales, and were looking for an idyllic location to raise their family. During the seventies and eighties the house was not only a family home, but was also frequently used for the promotion of Laura Ashley and its products. Step inside Rhydoldog House The interior of the house is part way through its refurbishment and considered ideal for the purchaser to either continue with the vendors fully prepared plans or implement their own personal internal specification and finish. The impressive solid oak porch stands resplendent with original stone archway and a beautiful solid oak door with brass handmade hinges. Still maintaining the stately and enchanting feel each of the principal reception rooms has tall ceilings and newly lined fireplaces, patio doors and windows which open out to breathtaking views down the valley. An inner hallway leads to the study, main stairwell and former secondary staircase to bedrooms above. Beneath the house is the cellar which has been excavated and tanked to make provision for a wine cellar, laundry and plant room. The main staircase has been removed for replacement and to enable the installation of an oak framed stained/leaded glass feature wall. The secondary staircase now leads from the ground floor to the first floor landing off which there are proposed three principal bedroom suites. The master suite having lounge, dressing room, en suite and balcony. The others each with en suites. The second floor allows for 3 further bedroom suites, 2 with dressing room and all en-suite, the larger with exposed oak ‘A’ frame and private balcony. The roof top terrace is currently accessed via steps off bedroom 5 with heaters and hot tub. A year round sanctuary to relax and enjoy.

The living room benefits from further exposed oak work and a wood burning stove, whilst off the double bedroom is the fully fitted dressing room and en-suite. Step outside Rhydoldog Gardens and Grounds The sweeping tree lined driveway leads to a vast gravelled parking and turning area to the side and rear of the house and adjacent to the temporary steel framed triple garage block. The driveway continues around to the rear of the house to the garage/wood store. The predominantly lawned gardens are to the side and front of the house with an upper terrace affording uninterrupted views down the valley to the distant hills. To the front and overlooked by the house and gardens is the large enclosed pasture paddock which extends to approximately 5ha/13 acres bounded by the access roads on two sides and house and woodland on the others. The land is considered ideal for the keeping of livestock, has water connected and good shelter with a variety of mature parkland trees. Enclosures have been created to house goats, pigs and poultry and a pump house stores the Hydro Water plant and equipment. A flagstone path and avenue between the yews leads through the original cast iron gates to the adjoining hill upon which there are rights to graze livestock. The vendors have carried out vast tree surgery to the SSSI woodland which was replanted with mainly evergreens 50 years ago. Extensive thinning and clearing, the replanting of a beech avenue and habitat piling have created an area of huge amenity value as well as rejuvenating mosses and ferns. Wildflower and 10,000 bluebell walks and an expanse of 4 colours of rhododendrons with entwining paths through the woodland garden lead to the spectacular rock outcrops, waterfalls and hidden spaces. The 13ha/33acres of woodland is home to owls, kites and falcons and extends to the sky line to the common land beyond, ideal for out riding or walking enthusiasts. The main driveway continues past the house to the traditional agricultural outbuildings. These comprise an extensive range of predominantly stone and timber built ranges under slate roofs – hay barns, cow byres, former milking parlour, and former coach house with tack room stable and grooms quarters over. The buildings provide excellent fodder storage and are suitable for housing livestock or horses but also for conversion – subject to gaining any necessary permissions – to further annexe residential accommodation, swimming pool, spa, gym or office suite/commercial venture for someone wishing to work from home. In total the traditional buildings extend to approximately 625sq. metres/6750 sq. ft. Adjacent to these building all service cables have been re sited underground to create a helicopter landing area.

  • Ministry Area Brochure
    The Placeholder Next Steps Forming Ministry Areas Diocese of Swansea and Brecon Summer 2014 From Bishop John … Dear Friends, In this booklet you’ll find the pattern of Ministry Areas by means of which, as they come into being, the Diocese will renew and develop its ministry. This marks the end of a lengthy period of prayerful consultation to which everybody in the Diocese had opportunities to contribute. Ministry Areas, adopted by the whole Church in Wales as the pattern for the future, offer us a fresh and exciting opportunity to renew the ways in which to minister in the communities where we are set. They offer a way of collaborative working, commended by the New Testament, with communities of disciples, lay and ordained, sharing ministry, growing in faith and into the image of Christ, witnessing to those around, and working to create new disciples. Whatever our present way of doing things might be, doing what we’ve always done is not an option however familiar or comfortable that might be. We will commit to a 'group practice' model for collaborative ministry and mission, with local churches working together in partnerships across familiar boundaries to enrich relationships and to share talents, gifts and resources. Instead of offering just one form and style across an area, we will offer a variety of worship and other opportunities, with a common aim of building a stronger, sustainable and more effective church which looks not only down the aisle but also out there into the community. It is intended that the current eleven Area Deaneries are revised to four with the designated Ministry Areas grouped into one of the new Deaneries.

  • Elan and Claerwen Valleys, Powys: Historical Briefing Paper1
    AHRC Contested Common Land Project: Universities of Newcastle and Lancaster Please note: this is a working paper which will be revised and expanded during the course of the project. Please do not quote or reproduce sections of this paper without contacting the Contested Common Land project team. Additional information, particularly on the recent history of common land management in the case study area, would be welcomed by the team. Contact: [email protected] Draft: 26.5.09. ELAN AND CLAERWEN VALLEYS, POWYS: HISTORICAL BRIEFING PAPER1 Angus Winchester and Eleanor Straughton (Revised version, May 2009) The case study centres on upland pastures in the Elan and Claerwen valleys, in the parish of Llansantfraid Cwmdeuddwr,2 Radnorshire (now in the modern county of Powys). The outer boundaries of the area under study coincide with those of the parish and embraced a territory of considerable antiquity, the commote of Cwmdeuddwr (literally ‘the commote between the two waters’, i.e. the rivers Elan and Wye). In the medieval period, most of the land within these bounds formed an upland grange of Strata Florida Abbey, ‘a large area of common pasture with isolated holdings.’3 The case study comprises two contiguous land units: the registered common land of Cwmdeuddwr Common (RCL 36), which lies along the north-east edge of the parish and is managed by the Cwmdeuddwr Commoners and Graziers Association; and the large area of de-registered hill grazing (RCL 66), within the catchment of the Claerwen and Elan rivers, which forms part of the Elan Valley Estate of Dŵr Cymru/Welsh Water.

  • Slander and Defamation Case Studies
    142. Chapter V Witchcraft as Words : Slander and Defamation Case Studies. For Richard F. Suggett.1 The majority of witchcraft cases which came before the courts in early modern Wales were witchcraft as words cases: cases in which a woman took another person to court for having said, before witnesses, that the woman was a witch. In the Courts of Great Sessions such cases were termed "slander". Some witchcraft as words cases were located in quarter sessions files but it was the Courts of Great Sessions which heard most of these cases. In the ecclesiastical courts in early modern Wales, witchcraft as words was termed "defamation", although the two should not be confused or approached, from an analytical persepctive, in the same way. Whilst the subject matter of the cases appears to be similar, the two types of court treated the case lodged before them in a very different manner as the motives of the participants presenting the case in the court of their choice were not similar. Before 1500, the secular courts did not use the term "defamation" and the temporal courts did not use the term "slander". Cases lodged in the secular courts were for a specific sum of money, the financial compensation which the slandered person was seeking from the slanderer. In the ecclesiastical courts, the defamed was seeking an acknowledgement of the defamation from the defamer and was lodging the case to seek punishment of whatever spiritual nature the court deemed sufficient punishment for the defamer. Ecclesiastical courts could not punish the defamer by setting an amount of financial compensation.2 The procedure in a slander case began with a declaration which opened the pleading in a 1 This chapter acknowledges the unpublished work of Richard F.
