People, Places and Policy
People, Places and Policy Set within the context of UK devolution and constitutional change, People, Places and Policy offers important and interesting insights into ‘place-making’ and ‘locality-making’ in contemporary Wales. Combining policy research with policy-maker and stakeholder interviews at various spatial scales (local, regional, national), it examines the historical processes and working practices that have produced the complex political geography of Wales. This book looks at the economic, social and political geographies of Wales, which in the context of devolution and public service governance are hotly debated. It offers a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework for capturing the dynamics of locality-making, to go beyond the obsession with boundaries and coterminous geog- raphies expressed by policy-makers and politicians. Three localities – Heads of the Valleys (north of Cardiff), central and west coast regions (Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and the former district of Montgomeryshire in Powys) and the A55 corridor (from Wrexham to Holyhead) – are discussed in detail to illustrate this and also reveal the geographical tensions of devolution in contemporary Wales. This book is an original statement on the making of contemporary Wales from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) researchers. It deploys a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework and innovative mapping techniques to represent spatial patterns in data. This allows the timely uncovering of both unbounded and fuzzy relational policy geographies, and the more bounded administrative concerns, which come together to produce and reproduce over time Wales’ regional geography.

The Status of the Marsh Fritillary in Wales: 2016
The Status of the Marsh Fritillary in Wales: 2016 A lean year… If you visited a Marsh Fritillary site during the 2016 flight season you were probably struck by just how few butterflies were flying, even when the weather was fine – not just Marsh Fritillaries, but other species too. This was the case even on sites which held good numbers of larval webs in the autumn of 2015. It was all rather puzzling. But just how badly did the Marsh Fritillary fare in 2016? Keep reading to find out… Introduction The conservation of the Marsh Fritillary, one of the most rapidly declining butterflies in Europe, hinges on knowing where our core populations are, how they are faring and making sure that sites are well managed for the butterfly. Where are they? – Population status surveys To maintain an up-to-date picture of where our Welsh Marsh Fritillary populations are (distribution) Butterfly Conservation Wales (BCW) co-ordinates a Wales-wide programme of visits in which every population gets at least one survey visit every five years. As well as confirming presence or absence, these visits can also highlight concerns, such as management issues, that need following up. How strong are they? – Surveillance programme To assess how strong our Marsh Fritillary populations are, and how this changes over time, the Wales Marsh Fritillary Surveillance Programme was established in 2012 by BCW in partnership with Natural Resources Wales (NRW). Annual larval web counts of key populations (21 currently) are undertaken and used to calculate both site-level and Wales-wide trends. 1 Population Status Surveys The rolling programme of five-yearly site visits continued in 2016. -

'IARRIAGES Introduction This Volume of 'Stray' Marriages Is Published with the Hope That It Will Prove
S T R A Y S Volume One: !'IARRIAGES Introduction This volume of 'stray' marriages is published with the hope that it will prove of some value as an additional source for the familv historian. For economic reasons, the 9rooms' names only are listed. Often people married many miles from their own parishes and sometimes also away from the parish of the spouse. Tracking down such a 'stray marriage' can involve fruitless and dishearteninq searches and may halt progress for many years. - Included here are 'strays', who were married in another parish within the county of Powys, or in another county. There are also a few non-Powys 'strays' from adjoining counties, particularly some which may be connected with Powys families. For those researchers puzzled and confused by the thought of dealing with patronymics, when looking for their Welsh ancestors, a few are to be found here and are ' indicated by an asterisk. A simple study of these few examples may help in a search for others, although it must be said, that this is not so easy when the father's name is not given. I would like to thank all those members who have helped in anyway with the compilation of this booklet. A second collection is already in progress; please· send any contributions to me.

Capel Soar-Y-Mynydd, Ceredigion
Capel Soar-y-mynydd, Ceredigion Richard Coates 2017 Capel Soar-y-mynydd, Ceredigion The chapel known as Soar-y-mynydd or Soar y Mynydd lies near the eastern extremity of the large parish of Llanddewi Brefi, in the valley of the river Camddwr deep in the “Green Desert of Wales”, the Cambrian Mountains of Ceredigion (National Grid Reference SN 7847 5328). It is some eight miles south-east of Tregaron, or more by road. Its often-repeated claim to fame is that it is the remotest chapel in all Wales (“capel mwyaf pellennig/anghysbell Cymru gyfan”). Exactly how that is measured I am not sure, but it is certainly remote by anyone in Britain’s standards. It is approached on rough and narrow roads from the directions of Tregaron, Llanwrtyd Wells, and Llandovery. It is just east of the now vanished squatter settlement (tŷ unnos) called Brithdir (whose site is still named on the Ordnance Survey 6" map in 1980-1), and it has become progressively more remote as the local sheep-farms have been abandoned, most of them as a result of the bad winter of 1946-7. Its name means ‘Zoar of the mountain’ or ‘of the upland moor’. Zoar or its Welsh equivalent Soar is a not uncommon chapel name in Wales. It derives from the mention in Genesis 19:20-30 of a place with this name which served as a temporary sanctuary for Lot and his daughters and which was spared by God when Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. (“Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
