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

The garden occupies the monastic precinct, utilising some of its massive walling as walls for the kitchen garden. The walled sixteenth-century deer park belonging to the Tudor house survives to the south. Type of site Deer park; landscape park; informal gardens; walled kitchen garden Main phases of construction Second half of sixteenth century; 1803-05 Site description Ewenny Priory is situated on the flood plain of the Ogmore valley, just to the south of a canalized stretch of the river, to the south of Bridgend. A Benedictine Priory was founded here by Maurice de Londres of Ogmore Castle in about 1141. St Michael's church was built by William de Londres, Maurice's father, between 1116 and 1126. Later in the twelfth century, and with additions in about 1300, the substantial precinct walls and gatehouses were built, enclosing a roughly rectangular area to the south and west of the church, and giving the priory a fortified character. The house, outbuildings, and gardens were built within and incorporate parts of the monastic precinct. At the Dissolution the priory, which then had only three monks, was leased and shortly afterwards, in 1545, bought by Sir Edward Carne.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Planning Policy Wales [PPW] (Fourth edition, 2011) requires Local Development Plans [LDPs] sustainable settlement strategies to be informed by an assessment of settlements to ensure they accord with the sustainable location principles contained within national planning policy (see PPW Section 4.6 Sustainable settlement strategy: locating new development). 1.2 As part of the evidence base for the Vale of Glamorgan LDP, the Council has undertaken an audit of services and facilities within the Vale of Glamorgan’s settlements in order to identify those which are potentially suitable to accommodate additional development in terms of their location, role and function. This assessment therefore forms part of the evidence base for the Vale of Glamorgan LDP Settlement Hierarchy by identifying broad groupings of settlements with similar roles and functions based upon the following research objectives: Objective 1: To assess the need for residents to commute beyond their settlement to access key employment, retail and community facilities (including education and health). Objective 2: To measure the general level of accessibility of settlements by sustainable transport.

Pat Bevan-Morgan was telling me about a book by Jack Smith The Yeomen of Yore which is the story of the Glamorgan Yeomanry, the regiment of the towns and villages of the Vale of Glamorgan and the neighbouring districts, disbanded soon after the end of the First World War. The memorial “to the immortal memory of those officers, NCOs and men of the Glamorgan Yeomanry who fell in the Great War" stands on Stalling Down, outside Cowbridge. As I was to preach at a community service to commemorate the outbreak of the First World War the following Sunday in St Theodore’s Church, Kenfig Hill, I asked Pat if I could borrow the book, as I wanted to show the impact the First World War had on our communities.
