    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 ...........................................................................................................................

    North-East Wales Itinerary: the Riches of the North-East of Wales

    North-east Wales itinerary: the riches of the north-east of Wales In north east Wales a collection of major mighty monuments are waiting to be explored, and all just a short distance from each other. Along the north coastline near Rhyl you’ll find the ingenious Rhuddlan Castle which was one of the strongest of Edward I’s castles. Just a 20 minute drive inland from here Denbigh Castle and Town Walls crown the summit of a prominent outcrop overlooking the Vale of Clwyd. Continue south and you’ll soon come across the glorious Rug Chapel and Llangar Old Parish Church, and travel a bit further east to reach the stunning Valle Crucis Abbey. Denbigh Castle and Town Walls Crowning the summit of a prominent outcrop overlooking the Vale of Clwyd, the principal feature of the spectacular Denbigh Castle and Town Walls is the triple-towered great gatehouse dating back to the thirteenth-century. Along with over half a mile of town walls, Denbigh Castle is a classic fortress of Edwardian proportions. Henry de Lacy, one of the king’s loyal commanders, was given control of the area and had the task of building the new castle. He couldn’t go far wrong with the king’s master mason, James of St George, at his side. It wasn’t all plain sailing however. A Welsh rebellion, led by Madog ap Llywelyn, captured the partly-built castle in 1294, but Edward’s dominance and the castle-building programme were soon restored. You can see for yourself the two phases of building work.

It has been claimed that in the late eighteenth century sixty per cent of couples in the Welsh village of Llansantffraid Glyn Ceiriog married by jumping over a broomstick, and a number of commentators have inferred that informal marriage was widespread in this period. Yet an examination of the primary and secondary sources shows that both the initial claim and subsequent speculations are based on ‘Chinese whispers’ rather than evidence. This casts a new light on the way in which people reacted to the 1753 Marriage Act, and illustrates how myths may be created through uncritical reliance on secondary sources. Last Christmas I was introduced to a version of Chinese whispers:1 one person mimed a short scene – changing a baby, planting some seeds, cut- ting someone’s hair – and a second person then had to copy these actions for the benefit of a third who had not seen the original mime.

(Former county of Merioneth) Grid Ref: OS SJ 0354 4314 © Crown copyright: Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales: Dating Old Welsh Houses: North West Wales Dendrochronology Project Tŷ Mawr farmhouse Summary The owner of Plas yn Ddol estate had the cruck framed and probably timber-walled hall house of 'gentry' type with a central open truss to the hall built 1539-69. The house has a dais partition of post and panel type with evidence for a canopy. It is uncertain if there are windbraces. In or shortly after 1584 a floor and a large fireplace was inserted against the central cruck and a storeyed house of end-chimney lobby-entry type created. The ceiling beams are moderately chamfered with curved stops. It would appear that the building was used as a farmhouse. In the mid- to late nineteenth century the house was altered during the building of a new parish church and the curate lodged at Tŷ Mawr during 1881. The present staircase and entrance lobby between the two rooms is almost certainly an insertion. An outbuilding adjoins the original house to the west. For about four hundred and fifty years, Tŷ Mawr has existed in a quiet valley without interruption by wars, civil or otherwise, the break with the Church of Rome and the dissolution of the monasteries, the Commonwealth Government and has seen many kings and queens come and go. It would appear not to have been a home to persons of great note, fame or wealth (making it difficult to research!) but instead a farmstead where agriculture and animal husbandry has been practised with pastureland and meadows for grazing and fields cultivated to grow crops of oats and wheat.
