OSWALD ROAD, OSWESTRY, 1878. PREFACE F all the works which have been written relating to the general or family history O of North Wales, none have been for centuries more esteemed than the History of the Gwydir Family. The Hon. Daines Barrington, in his preface to his first edition of the work, published in 1770, has well said, "The MS. hath, for above.a cent~ry, been so prized in North Wales, that many in those parts have thought it worth while to make fair and complete transcripts of it." Of these transcripts the earliest known to exist is one in the Library at Brogyntyn. It was probably written within 45 years of the death of the author; but besides that, it contains a great number of notes and additions of nearly the same date, which have never yet appeared in print. The History of the Gwydir Family has been thrice published. The first editiun, edited by the Hon. Daines Barrington, issued from the press in 1770. The second was published in Mr.

  • 13 Socio-Economics and Tourism
    Visual Impact Provision (VIP) Snowdonia Project, Environmental Appraisal Volume 1 13 SOCIO-ECONOMICS AND TOURISM 13.1 Introduction 13.1.1 This chapter of the Environmental Appraisal assesses the potential effects on socio-economic and tourism receptors associated with the construction, operation and decommissioning phases of the Visual Impact Provision (VIP), Snowdonia Project (hereafter referred to as the Proposed Project). 13.1.2 The potential effects considered in this appraisal are summarised under five subtopics, as follows: • Tourism: potential effects on tourism attractions and tourism hubs and the wider tourism sector (including the Snowdonia National Park), such as changes in access and/or amenity1. • Recreation: potential effects on recreational receptors such as changes in access and/or amenity. Recreational receptors include public rights of way (PRoW), cycle routes, long distance walking routes (LDWR), open access land, nature reserves and marine-related leisure activities. • Community amenity: potential amenity effects2 on community settlements and residents. • Employment: an overview of the potential direct and indirect employment generation on a local and regional basis. • Supply chain: expenditure within the local and national supply chain. 13.1.3 In the context of this appraisal, ‘amenity’ is the term used to describe the character or attractiveness of an area. When two or more environmental effects are experienced by the same receptors (e.g. a cycling route), amenity can be affected, with the potential to deter users (e.g. cyclists). The following environmental effects are considered in the amenity appraisal: landscape and visual effects; traffic and transport effects; and noise and vibration effects. Due to these important interactions between environmental effects and socio-economic and tourism receptors, it is recommended that this chapter is read in conjunction with Chapter 6 (Landscape and Visual), Chapter 12 (Traffic and Transport) and Chapter 14 (Noise and Vibration).

    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).
