Online viewing www.simmonsgallery.co.uk or by appointment Buyer’s premium 5% including VAT at standard rate on all lots Preamble Emyr George was a dairy farmer from Wales, a collector of all things Welsh, amiable and passionate about his hobby. He co-wrote Shropshire Tavern Tokens with Neil Todd and Andrew Cunningham. Emyr was a great one for swapping his tokens with others, buying lots, and then exchanging them for tokens he needed for his collection. This is why we find stray English, Scottish and occasional overseas tokens scattered amongst the Welsh. We tried in our last auction in June to separate these non-Welsh out but there are thousands of tokens and it will take us several sales to offer them all. So we’re only up to Glamorgan in the pub checks and up to C in the mining alphabetically. There’s lots more to come and Howard used lockdown well to catalogue them. We’re selling on behalf of the family so please, to those who’ve already asked, all tokens are offered at auction.

  • Coity Castle
    Great Archaeological Sites in Bridgend 6. COITY CASTLE On the outskirts of Bridgend is Coity Castle (SS 9230 8149), founded by Sir Payn de Turberville, one of t Twelve Knights of Glamorgan who according to tradition were the companions who helped the Norman baron Robert Fitzhamon of Gloucester to conquer lowland Glamorgan. They were each rewarded with some of the newly conquered lands, and the Bridgend area fell to St Payn, who established his centre of power at Coity. His original castle was a quickly constructed earth and timber ringwork, where all the buildings needed by a Norman lord were enclosed within a rampart and a deep, wide ditch, which can still be seen today. However, over the centuries it was upgraded to fulfil the concerns of the day. At first, this was mainly about improving the defences, to make them proof against any attempt to set them on fire, as well as rebuilding elements that had been damaged by enemy attack. However, as the Middle Ages drew to a close and defence was much less of a priority, the improvements increasingly focussed on making the castle a more comfortable place to live. The first step, in the late 12th century, was to reinforce the earth and timber of the original castle in stone. This is thought to have involved adapting the ringwork into an inner ward, complete with keep, and making an outer bailey where a bailey had been attached to ringwork. Still to be seen from this period are the keep and more than half of the curtain wall of the inner ward.
