    The route of the Ogilby coach road from Pontsticill to Quakers Yard. K. A. Martin. 1 Introduction. This paper is one of a series I have written about the area of the north of Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire and the south of Breconshire. Four of the Volumes are studies of the old roads and tracks in this area, also there is a separate volume on various archaeological features to be found over this area and a fifth is the study of what was an ancient lake site with peat deposits in which I have found pollen grains dating back to the end of the last ice age. This present paper was too long to become another chapter in Assorted Archaeology and too short to be called a volume but is, I think, long enough to stand alone. I am conscious that I am only being concerned with one aspect of the history of Merthyr and that there have been, and still are, able local historians who know far more about the area than I. Nevertheless this essay might help to throw some light in a few dark corners and it is, at least available for public scrutiny.. It has been my experience that there are many people who are diffident about putting their own very extensive knowledge on paper. I would be happy if anyone should care to get in touch with me on any matters arising from this or any other matters which might be of more general relevance. K. A. Martin. February 2010.

    ADRODDIAD BLYNYDDOL / ANNUAL REPORT 1950-51 HENRY BONSALL 1951001 Ffynhonnell / Source The late Henry Bonsall, Llanbadarnfawr. Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1950-51 Disgrifiad / Description A manuscript music book, containing Welsh airs, written by Miss Bonsall, 1807; naturalists' calendars kept at Glan Rheidol, 1841, 1866-70; and diaries and notebooks of Henry Bonsall, 1882-1947. An interesting miscellaneous collection of over 100 printed books, mostly of the nineteenth century and in English, but containing eleven books in other languages (Dept of Printed Books). Five of the books in the collection are of eighteenth century date and eight are seventeenth century books. The last-mentioned include Latin editions of works by Cicero (1606), Erasmus (1613), and Ovid (1626), an English political tract of the year of the Restoration (1660), the 1686 edition of Jeremy Taylor's Holy Living, and a travel book of 1797. The two others are of considerable local interest, namely, Shiers's Mine Adventure in Wales (1700) and a volume of verse entitled Poetical Piety or Poetry made Pious, by William Williams (London, 1677). The latter is dedicated to 'Sir Thomas Pryse of Go-gerthan. .', and the author describes himself in the dedicatory letter as 'a native both of your Neighbourhood and County'. There is a pencil note on the fly-leaf in the hand of the testator stating that the copy came from the 'Wallog Library sold by Col. G. G. Williams'. The eighteenth century books include a copy of the 1713 edition of Thoughts on Religion by W. Beveridge, bishop of St Asaph. The bulk of the collection is of nineteenth century date and the books are highly miscellaneous.

However, they have tended to concentrate on a limited number of topics: the activities of the ruling classes and, especially in the later part of the period, a variety of ‘awakenings’ – religious, national-cultural, industrial and class-politics. The story of the common people of Wales in the century or more before industrialization has been, in the main, one of lack, hardship and suffering.1 Without doubt, their lives were tremendously precarious, difficult and often short: this is not Merrie Wales.

    The Church in Wales Yr Eglwys Yng Nghymru Vicar for Bargoed & Pontlottyn in the Taff Rhymney Ministry Area Profile – 2021 The Bishop of Llandaff is seeking to appoint a Vicar for Bargoed & Pontlottyn in the Taff Rhymney Ministry Area The Bishop of Llandaff is looking for a priest to join a new Ministry Area team, serving the area, which lies between the Rhymney and Taff Valleys, in the north-east of the Diocese of Llandaff. The new Ministry Area will bring together four former parish groupings, with twelve churches, served by four incumbent clergy and two licensed readers. Within the team, the new Vicar for Bargoed & Pontlottyn will take primary pastoral responsibility for the northernmost part of the Ministry Area, served currently by six churches located in Bargoed, Pontlottyn and nearby villages. The Ministry Area faces a time of significant change, as new patterns of life and work evolve from the regeneration of former mining communities. The new Vicar will be expected to engage with colleagues, in developing creative ways to respond to these challenges, using all the resources of the churches to transform the lives of people across the whole Ministry Area. S/he will help build teams of lay and clergy colleagues, working collaboratively, so that people, inside and outside the churches, can grow in faith and thrive in this changing environment. S/he will be part of shaping a detailed vision for the Ministry Area, which will in turn be related to the overall vision and strategy of Llandaff Diocese, as set out below: Our Diocesan Vision We believe faith matters.

  • Slander and Defamation Case Studies
    142. Chapter V Witchcraft as Words : Slander and Defamation Case Studies. For Richard F. Suggett.1 The majority of witchcraft cases which came before the courts in early modern Wales were witchcraft as words cases: cases in which a woman took another person to court for having said, before witnesses, that the woman was a witch. In the Courts of Great Sessions such cases were termed "slander". Some witchcraft as words cases were located in quarter sessions files but it was the Courts of Great Sessions which heard most of these cases. In the ecclesiastical courts in early modern Wales, witchcraft as words was termed "defamation", although the two should not be confused or approached, from an analytical persepctive, in the same way. Whilst the subject matter of the cases appears to be similar, the two types of court treated the case lodged before them in a very different manner as the motives of the participants presenting the case in the court of their choice were not similar. Before 1500, the secular courts did not use the term "defamation" and the temporal courts did not use the term "slander". Cases lodged in the secular courts were for a specific sum of money, the financial compensation which the slandered person was seeking from the slanderer. In the ecclesiastical courts, the defamed was seeking an acknowledgement of the defamation from the defamer and was lodging the case to seek punishment of whatever spiritual nature the court deemed sufficient punishment for the defamer.

    History of SARAH JENKINS 1834-1916 and WILLIAM JAMES 1830-1922 1 SARAH JENKINS and WILLIAM JAMES By Marion Lofthouse Maxwell Sarah Jenkins is the daughter and sixth child of John Jenkins and Emma (or Emily) Jones. She was born 17 February 1834 in Llanelly Carmarthenshire, Wales, spending her youth in Wales. According to Hazel James Call she had curly black hair and brown eyes, loved music, singing and dancing and never failed to take part in these activities as long as she lived. She also stated, Sarah’s family was talented in music. The Llangendeirne Parish Church in the County of Carmarthen has record of John and Emma’s marriage, FHL #105,174, page 51, #151, quoting: “John Jenkins of this Parish, Bachelor and Emma Jones of the Parish of Llandeveilog, Spinster were married in this church by Banns, Twenty-ninth day of April in the year One thousand eight hundred and twenty three”. Sarah’s father, John Jenkins was the son of Thomas John later Jenkins and Elizabeth Evan. They lived at Stickle Farm (formal Welsh spelling is Ysticlau Farm) in the Parish of Llangendeirne, County of Carmarthen, Wales. Sarah’s mother, Emma Jones was the daughter of David John later Jones and Catherine David (still proving her identity) who lived on Brynygorse Farm in the Parish of Llandeveilog, County of Carmarthen, Wales. Each farm is in a different parish but very close in proximity. Burial of a Catherine Jones, Brynygorse, at the age 61 in the Parish Church yard at the Llangendierne Parish Church on 2 May 1825 could very well be our Catherine David.
