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.

This report is a synthesis of available information on all aspects of natural and cultural heritage.

Contributors: Louise Austin, Sarah Beynon, Rob Davies, Sid Howells, Jon Hudson, Kate Jones, Marion Page, Vicky Swann. PLANED: Natural Capital Audit West Wales Biodiversity 2008 1 APPENDIX 1: Farmer Profiles Intensive farmers (dairy) Farmer 1 Farm 1 supports 3 sons as well as parents, and therefore on a farm of 430 acres (plus 170 acres of rented land), diversification has been necessary. They own an agri-contracting business and permit shooting walks on the farm. They are milking over 150 cows, and grow arable crops on their land: 46 acres of maize and 230 acres of corn. They are currently not in any agri-environment scheme other than a Catchment Sensitive Farming project: Deep Ford Brook project. However, he says that again, this brings with it more red tape: he can now not increase stock numbers, and believes this is just another way of getting information regarding fertiliser usage: “it is just NVC through the back door”. Farmer 1 adds that “a stocking rate of 1 cow per acre has been pushed by the government over the past 40 years” and therefore, due to financial reasons, they cannot justify any management regulations placed on their productive grazing land.
