Countryside access and walking VALEWAYS Cerdded yng nghefn gwlad Newsletter Summer 2019 W elcome to the Valeways Summer Newsletter and what better way to find out ‘What’s occurring’ this summer than with pictures by the artist Haf Weighton. Having lived and worked in London for many years, exhibiting widely in galleries including Alexandra Palace and The Saatchi Gallery, Haf (literally translated as Summer) recently returned to South Wales and has settled in Penarth. It is no wonder that her recent exhibition at the Penarth Pier Gallery was entitled ‘Adref – Home’. A dref / Home included the featured artworks entitled ‘Shore Penarth’ and ’Beach Cliff, Penarth’ and are two in a series of four based on Haf’s involvement with a campaign group set up to fight proposals by the Vale of Glamorgan Council to replace all Penarth’s characteristic Victorian lamp posts with modern ones. Although the plans do not include The Esplanade, 21 streets listed, including Railway Terrace, Archer Place and Dingle Road will be affected and Haf has included their names in her work – something to look out for on the next walk around Penarth. We are indebted to Haf for allowing us to reproduce these examples of her work. For more information about Haf and her work please visit hafanhaf.com What’s in a name? Romilly, Egerton Grey, Llwyneliddon,(St Lythans) Llandochau Fach, Ystradowen, Whitmore and Jackson, Waitrose… and many more are not only names reflecting the Vale’s varied past but also continue to provide rich fodder for our modern day explorations – well, maybe not Waitrose. I n this ‘Year of Discovery’, the launch of our 10th Vale Walking Festival (May 21 – 26) set the tone for the twenty- seven walks that followed, providing imaginative, informative and varied walks all under a bright blue sky and with the background of some beautiful scenery. Once again the festival was well attended, with over 360 outings recorded. The variety of walks and the Vale landscape attracted walkers from as far afield as Derby, Anglesey and Liverpool! As a result of a number of Valeways walkers taking part in the Chepstow Walking Festival in April, a couple from Chepstow came on a reciprocal visit to the Vale. 1 During the Chepstow Walking Festival, a number of Valeways walkers made the journey along the M4 and apart from witnessing stunning views across the Severn Estuary, were also introduced to some serious (or less than serious?) bell-ringing at St Nicholas Church, Trelech. The exhausted apprentice campanologists then retired to the village hall for tea/ coffee and a fantastic selection of homemade cakes supplied by some of the ladies from the village! One of the Valeways walkers was chatting to one of the cake ladies and realised they had been in the same class at school 60 years previously and they had a good gossip about the good old days! Many thanks to Huw Allaway for his report, for handing out Vale Walking Festival leaflets and for this stunning photograph of the bluebell field. Chepstow Walking Festival Everything from ringing bells to bluebells! T he Festival launch at Porthkerry Country Park included a walk through the park, skirting the manor house of Egerton Grey before reaching Saint Curig’s Church. The cemetery revealed the grand tomb of John Gaspard Le Marchant Romilly, 3rd Baron Romilly and his wife, Violet Edith Grey-Egerton. Their son, William Gaspard Guy Romilly, 4th Baron Romilly, despite being married three times, died childless and therefore the hereditary lineage ceased. Although the ‘Romilly’ lineage ended, the name remains – a public house in Barry, a park, a road and a school let alone the Coffee Shop Strollers’ favourite watering hole – Romilly’s! Incidentally, the Coffee Shop Strollers often walk along The Parade and have passed a street named Gaspard Place. Ironically, a few feet from the tomb and almost hidden from view is a small stone bearing the simple inscription ‘A SEAFARING MAN FOUND DROWNED 1856’. Also buried in the cemetery is the renowned artist and a past resident of Porthkerry, Evan Charlton. Evan Charlton spent most of his working life in Wales, firstly as Head of Cardiff School of Art, and subsequently as Schools Inspector for Art. He is buried with his wife and fellow artist, Felicity Ursula Hartland Charlton. To her husband though, as seen in the unusual but highly personal inscription on the grave, she was ‘his FELICITY’. 2 Walkers on the ‘Discovering Barry Dock Offices’ walk, led by Marion Eynon were in for a treat when the walk included a visit around some of the ‘private’ areas of the building’s interior. Many thanks to Mererid Velios for her guided tour which included a visit to the boardroom, stables and even the Gents toilets! A visit to the distinctive clock tower was made even more interesting when a walker and an ex-employee recalled that one of his tasks was to wind the clock! Apart from a comprehensive photographic record of many a walk available on the Valeways website, an exhibition of the Festival and particularly of Walk 11, ‘Llantwit Major through the Lens’, led by Alan Simmonds, was displayed at Llantwit Major Library. Many thanks to Alan for arranging the exhibition. Walkers reflecting on the Walking Festival Valeways @ Llantwit Library 3 ebecca’s Volunteer Co-ordinator’s Report R The last three months have been very busy for me and many of our volunteers. May was a month of Walking Festival frenzy! Huw supported many of the Chepstow Walking Festival events which led to plans for reciprocal events. (see page 2) Juliette and I headed up to North Wales for the start of the Wales Coast Path Festival, which celebrated the 7th Anniversary of the opening. We spent the 1st day walking on the Great Orme and the second seek- ing red squirrels (without success). On our return we visited Bodnant to see the Laburnum Arch but actually the one on the Great Orme had more flowers as you can see from the photo. The festival then headed to Porthmadog, Ceredigion, Saundersfoot, Burry Port and ended in Llantwit Major on 19th May. I took 20 pupils out from Llantwit Major Secondary School to clear the route for one of the Llantwit Major Coast Path Walks as part of their community work for their Welsh Baccalaureate. Prior to this we had a press visit which resulted in articles appearing in the Guardian, Daily Mail, Lonely Planet and others, so great PR for the Vale of Glamorgan. During the Vale Walking Festival I experienced two big contrasts in the weather which was perfect for the Worney Wood Wander. We were also very grateful to the Sycamore Pub in Colwinston who opened the newly refurbished pub early so we could enjoy refreshments at the end of the walk – definitely a Walkers Welcome Venue! We weren’t so lucky on the Sunday Iolo Morganwg walk as the weather was against us so we decided to take a short cut for a coffee in the Farmer’s Arms in Aberthin. We were so wet and bedraggled the Sunday diners looked at us as if we had walked off Mars but once over their initial shock everyone was very welcoming. Rebecca Exley O ur Summer Walking Programme is again packed with a variety of walks, many visiting old favourites such as Gileston, Cowbridge, St Athan, Tinkinswood and Wick. Some new names spark our curiosity. Look for the intriguing ‘Ticket to Ride’ (25 July) and ‘Surf and Turf’ (8 Sept) and the informative ‘Llantwit Major Blue Plaque Walk’ (15 Sept). Look out also for the mention of a famous person forever associated with Barry Island (21 July). We wonder whose birthday will be celebrated on 26 Sept? This leads us to, dare we mention, ‘The End Of Summer’! (22 Sept) 4 S OS 1 A recent unfortunate incident in North Wales highlights the need for all to be careful whilst enjoying the countryside. Lisa Wells, an experienced mountaineer and a trainee leader was seriously injured when she was attacked by a herd of cattle as she tried to protect her granddaughter. Even though these incidents are thankfully rare, it highlights the need to be vigilant when out in the countryside. SOS 2 The beauty of the Vale coastline is illustrated in this photograph by Anne Phillips. Having just celebrated seven years since its creation (see Rebecca’s report) there is a growing concern that part of the Wales Coastal Path around Aberystwyth will be lost to the encroaching sea. One possibility being considered by Ceredigion Council is that the path is relocated inland as a preventative measure. Ceredigion might be a hundred miles away but maybe it’s closer than we would like to believe and these decisions will eventually fall on the desk of many a coastal council responsible for the continued upkeep of our beautiful landscape. E ditorial footnotes: Welcome to our new Walk Leaders, Alan and Denise Dumbrell who will be leading two walks in the Summer Programme. ‘Trains, Boats and Planes’ on 2nd August and ‘Surf and Turf’ on 8th September. Those of us whose subscription to Friends of Valeways is due, this is a gentle reminder! Please visit the website www.friendsofvaleways.org.uk Our current Walks Programme includes the time table for the successful Coffee Shop Strollers groups. However, the number of walkers turning up on the Penarth Coffee Shop Strollers is disappointing. So if you want to enjoy the super coastal views and the attractive parks abundant with summer flowers, the Penarth Strollers is the one for you!

  • A Welsh Classical Dictionary

    A Welsh Classical Dictionary

    A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY DACHUN, saint of Bodmin. See s.n. Credan. He has been wrongly identified with an Irish saint Dagan in LBS II.281, 285. G.H.Doble seems to have been misled in the same way (The Saints of Cornwall, IV. 156). DAGAN or DANOG, abbot of Llancarfan. He appears as Danoc in one of the ‘Llancarfan Charters’ appended to the Life of St.Cadog (§62 in VSB p.130). Here he is a clerical witness with Sulien (presumably abbot) and king Morgan [ab Athrwys]. He appears as abbot of Llancarfan in five charters in the Book of Llandaf, where he is called Danoc abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 179c), and Dagan(us) abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 158, 175, 186b, 195). In these five charters he is contemporary with bishop Berthwyn and Ithel ap Morgan, king of Glywysing. He succeeded Sulien as abbot and was succeeded by Paul. See Trans.Cym., 1948 pp.291-2, (but ignore the dates), and compare Wendy Davies, LlCh p.55 where Danog and Dagan are distinguished. Wendy Davies dates the BLD charters c.A.D.722 to 740 (ibid., pp.102 - 114). DALLDAF ail CUNIN COF. (Legendary). He is included in the tale of ‘Culhwch and Olwen’ as one of the warriors of Arthur's Court: Dalldaf eil Kimin Cof (WM 460, RM 106). In a triad (TYP no.73) he is called Dalldaf eil Cunyn Cof, one of the ‘Three Peers’ of Arthur's Court. In another triad (TYP no.41) we are told that Fferlas (Grey Fetlock), the horse of Dalldaf eil Cunin Cof, was one of the ‘Three Lovers' Horses’ (or perhaps ‘Beloved Horses’).

  • Eisteddfod Handout Prepared for Ninth Welsh Weekend for Everyone by Marilyn Schrader

    Eisteddfod Handout Prepared for Ninth Welsh Weekend for Everyone by Marilyn Schrader

    Eisteddfod handout prepared for Ninth Welsh Weekend for Everyone by Marilyn Schrader An eisteddfod is a Welsh festival of literature, music and performance. The tradition of such a meeting of Welsh artists dates back to at least the 12th century, when a festival of poetry and music was held by Rhys ap Gruffydd of Deheubarth at his court in Cardigan in 1176 but, with the decline of the bardic tradition, it fell into abeyance. The present-day format owes much to an eighteenth-century revival arising out of a number of informal eisteddfodau. The date of the first eisteddfod is a matter of much debate among scholars, but boards for the judging of poetry definitely existed in Wales from at least as early as the twelfth century, and it is likely that the ancient Celtic bards had formalized ways of judging poetry as well. The first eisteddfod can be traced back to 1176, under the auspices of Lord Rhys, at his castle in Cardigan. There he held a grand gathering to which were invited poets and musicians from all over the country. A chair at the Lord's table was awarded to the best poet and musician, a tradition that prevails in the modern day National Eisteddfod. The earliest large-scale eisteddfod that can be proven beyond all doubt to have taken place, however, was the Carmarthen Eisteddfod, which took place in 1451. The next recorded large-scale eisteddfod was held in Caerwys in 1568. The prizes awarded were a miniature silver chair to the successful poet, a little silver crwth to the winning fiddler, a silver tongue to the best singer, and a tiny silver harp to the best harpist.
  • Jane Williams (Ysgafell) (1806-85) and Nineteenth-Century Welsh Identity

    Jane Williams (Ysgafell) (1806-85) and Nineteenth-Century Welsh Identity

    Gwyneth Tyson Roberts Department of English and Creative Writing Thesis title: Jane Williams (Ysgafell) (1806-85) and nineteenth-century Welsh identity SUMMARY This thesis examines the life and work of Jane Williams (Ysgafell) and her relation to nineteenth-century Welsh identity and Welsh culture. Williams's writing career spanned more than fifty years and she worked in a wide range of genres (poetry, history, biography, literary criticism, a critique of an official report on education in Wales, a memoir of childhood, and religious tracts). She lived in Wales for much of her life and drew on Welsh, and Welsh- language, sources for much of her published writing. Her body of work has hitherto received no detailed critical attention, however, and this thesis considers the ways in which her gender and the variety of genres in which she wrote (several of which were genres in which women rarely operated at that period) have contributed to the omission of her work from the field of Welsh Writing in English. The thesis argues that this critical neglect demonstrates the current limitations of this academic field. The thesis considers Williams's body of work by analysing the ways in which she positioned herself in relation to Wales, and therefore reconstructs her biography (current accounts of much of her life are inaccurate or misleading) in order to trace not only the general trajectory of this affective relation, but also to examine the variations and nuances of this relation in each of her published works. The study argues that the liminality of Jane Williams's position, in both her life and work, corresponds closely to many of the important features of the established canon of Welsh Writing in English.
  • Green Book of Meditations Volume Ten Research Resources On

    Green Book of Meditations Volume Ten Research Resources On

    Green Book Of Meditations Volume Ten Research Resources On Druidism 2003 Introduction Originally this was going to be the bulk of ARDA 2’s Part Seven Miscellany, but due to some copyright concerns and the general wholeness of the subject matter, it seem that a Green Book was possible out of the material. Much of material of Section Two is from ARDA 1’s Part Eight, and much from ARDA 1’s Part Seven is now here in Section Three and Four. This section will naturally expand over the years, so it’s a good idea to separate it from the main body text of ARDA 2. I don’t wish you to misinterpret this book as if for me to say that you have to be fascinated and obsessed with Celtic research to understand Druidism. That’s not what I mean. Yes, I’ve studied the old ones, but I think there is more than can be learned form living plants and animals and each other than from the few remaining scraps. However, it’s still good and interesting to know, even if not practiced. I hope you enjoy it, and have fruitful research. Yours in the Mother, Mike Scharding March 20, 2003 Embassy of Japan, D.C.

    LLANCARFAN SOCIETY Newsletter 44 January-February 1992 RENEWAL OF SUBSCRIPTIONS Last time we commented on the fleeting year and the amazingly quick reappearance of Christmas. This time the reminder that time is passing is the need to ask you for the 1992 subscription which remains, as always, at £5.00. The Chancellor would be pleased to see this - perhaps we should hand the Exchequer over to our present and former Treasurers! A renewal form is enclosed with this Newsletter - please confirm your address and postcode to keep our records up to date. DATES FOR THE DIARY We shall be repeating the always-popular MAY DAY WALK, on Monday, 4th May, this year, with emphasis on the Deer Park at Llantrithyd. This is for the benefit of those who missed the visit to the Deer Park last year. There will be a BARBECUE at Abernant on Friday, June 12th. Phil Watts tells us that the playing of Boules will be introduced. This delightful French game has already taken-hold locally. The Three Horseshoes, Moulton, have a boulescourt (or whatever the correct name should be). What about a challange cup and/or Society Boules prize? We can guarantee the wine; perhaps the weather will be kind and give us a Mediterranean day. Perhaps some of our younger readers would like to come along and play? The ANNUAL DINNER will be on September 25th, also a Friday. ADDRESSES: Contributions for the Newsletter (which will be very welcome) should be sent to the Editor, John Etherington, Parc-y-Bont - New Buildings, Llanhowell, Solva, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, Dyfed, SA62 6XX.
