  • Talybont Farm Llawhaden | Narberth | Pembrokeshire | SA67 8HJ Talybont Farmhouse
    Talybont Farm Llawhaden | Narberth | Pembrokeshire | SA67 8HJ Talybont Farmhouse “We immediately fell for this house as soon as we stepped through the front door. It offers space and tranquillity. The farmhouse is in a unique, almost fairytale, location with views of the medieval castle and church while the River Cleddau meanders its way through the countryside below,” says Jackie. “We have lived at the property for five years and have refurbished much of the house to ensure it is maintained to a high standard. We have refitted the bathrooms and converted the Aga from oil to electric,” says David. “As well as this we have two large log burners which create an inviting home in the winter months.” “Since moving into the property we have created further accommodation in a disused barn. This was stripped bare and converted into a two bedroom cottage. At the moment we use it for when friends and family come to visit but it could also be used as an annexe, holiday let or to run a business from. The house has a welcoming farmhouse style kitchen and dining room. It is my favourite room with a large inglenook fireplace which is big enough to sit in!” says Jackie. “It is a very comfortable house in the winter and our kitchen is the heart of the home where we spend the majority of our time.” “Our motivation in moving to Llawhaden was to leave the city life and embrace a fully rural way of life. At the farmhouse we have been able to do just that.

Whether they mounted their attacks from the north or the south, when Norman barons invaded Wales after the Norman Conquest of 1066, they almost invariably ended up in West Wales and consolidated their position by building fortresses. Initially, these were simple “motte and bailey” constructions, typically built on a mound with ditches and/or wooden barricades for protection.

  • “Marshal Towers” in South-West Wales: Innovation, Emulation and Mimicry
    “Marshal towers” in South-West Wales: Innovation, Emulation and Mimicry “Marshal towers” in South-West Wales: Innovation, Emulation and Mimicry John Wiles THE CASTLE STUDIES GROUP JOURNAL NO 27: 2013-14 181 “Marshal towers” in South-West Wales: Innovation, Emulation and Mimicry Historical context Earl William the Marshal (d. 1219) was the very flower of knighthood and England’s mightiest vassal.4 He had married the de Clare heiress in 1189 gaining vast estates that included Netherwent, with Chepstow and Usk castles, as well as the great Irish lordship of Leinster. He was granted Pembroke and the earldom that went with it at King John’s acces- sion in 1199, probably gaining possession on his first visit to his Irish lands in 1200/01.5 Although effec- tively exiled or retired to Ireland between 1207 and 1211 (Crouch, 2002, 101-115), the Marshal consoli- dated and expanded his position in south-west Wales, acquiring Cilgerran by conquest (1204) and Haver- fordwest by grant (1213), as well as gaining custody of Cardigan, Carmarthen and Gower (1214). In 1215, however, whilst the Marshal, soon to be regent, was taken up with the wars in England, a winter campaign led by Llywelyn ap Iorwerth of Gwynedd ushered in a Welsh resurgence, so that at the Marshal’s death all save the Pembroke lordship, with Haverfordwest, had been lost. Llywelyn, who had been granted cus- tody of Cardigan and Carmarthen in 1218, returned to devastate the region in 1220, again destroying many of its castles.6 Fig 1.

  • Newsletter Vol. 6
    CASTLE STUDIES GROUP Newsletter Number 6 1992-1993 Exeter, November 1992 Dear Member The activities of the Group continue as before, though you will see from the minutes of the 1992 AGM that some expansion of the character and number of meetings is under consideration. The Newsletter contains the usual features, as well as a brief notice of the joint meeting organized by Oxford University's Department for Continuing Education which occurred just before this issue was printed. Although it was minuted formally at the 1992 AGM, a very big 'thank you' should be offered here to the organizers of the Kilkenny conference, which was exception­ ally interesting and enjoyable. At the time of writing, we are all still reeling from the announcement of a possible ' disposal' of archaeological sites by English Heritage, sites which include a number of medieval castles. This isnotthe place for a full discussion of the issue, butsuffice it to say that the idea has been roundly condemned in many quarters! When the situation, which at the time of writing shows signs of revision, is clarified, the Secretary will write to the Secretary of State and the Chairman of English Heritage. Please note that, in order to avoid confusion with the last newsletter (which was incorrectly labelled 1992 - and no-one noticed!) this issue (and subsequent ones) will have a "two-year" label. This also reflects the contents, since, as well as describing the events of the past year each issue also advertises the main conference and other events for the following year. STEERING COMMITTEE 1.
