  • Rhayader Has Moved!
    Stimulus question 44 Rhayader has Moved! On the A44 travelling west between Llanfihangel-nant-Melan and Penybont in Powys there are two road signs that indicate the mileage to the towns of Llandrindod Wells and Rhayader. From Llanfihangel-nant-Melan there is only one direct route using major roads to reach these towns. The first, just under half a mile after the Fforest Inn junction with the A481 shows: A44 Llandrindod Wells 12 Rhayader 15 The second sign is situated 5.3 miles further along the same road, just after Penybont. It shows: A44 Llandrindod Wells 5 Rhayader 10 Question Is it possible that all the mileages are correct or is there a mistake? Show your working clearly. Extension Question If two signposts are accurately marked as showing: Llandrindod Wells 15 Llandrindod Wells 8 Rhayader 20 Rhayader 12 What could be the distance between the two signposts? What are the maximum and minimum possible distances between the two signposts? 1 ‘Rhayader has Moved’ Question – scoring Full credit Shows the minimum and maximum possible mileages for the two towns for both signs: Llandrindod Wells: 11.5 miles to 12.5 miles, and 4.5 miles to 5.5 miles. Rhayader: 14.5 miles to 15.5 miles, and 9.5 miles to 10.5 miles. Concludes that although the mileages for Rhayader may be correct, they cannot be correct in both cases for Llandrindod Wells, if the distance between the signs is 5.3 miles. Even if the actual distance at the first sign was 11.5 miles, to then travel 5.3 miles means that the second sign is still 6.2 miles from Llandrindod Wells and so should read 6 miles at least.

  • Llandrinio.Pdf
    FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. M19 - LLANDRINIO Introduction 1. The community of Llandrinio lies in the northeastern corner of Montgomeryshire, in a landscape that is defined by the confluence and flood plains of the rivers Efyrnwy and Severn. Settlement in this community is defined by the routes that lead eastwards, out of the county, with most settlement and considerable new development following the course of the B4392 through the large village of Arddleen, along the A483(T) and the B4393, through the community's other large village of Llandrinio. Away from these large villages, further settlement is found in the small village of Sarnau and in the rural settlements of Burgedin, Deuddwr, Penrhos and Rhos Common. Both Arddleen and Llandrinio have seen a significant amount of development in recent years, and each large village has a good range of community services and facilities. Many of the communty’s boundaries follow watercourses: the river Severn in the south-east; and the river Vyrnwy and its tributary the Sarn Wen brook in the north, and the Montgomery canal in the west. The key settlement of Four Crosses in the neighbouring community of Llandysilio abuts the community boundary at the Sarn Wen brook, and is separated by that brook from the continuation of settlement that leads through the rural settlement of Rhos Common into the large village of Llandrinio. 2. The community has a population of 1,137, an electorate of 1,115 (2005) and a council of 11 members. The community is warded: Arddleen with 652 electors and six councillors; Llandrinio with 463 and five.

The project, commenced in 1884, for printing these pedigrees for the use of the Members of the Powys-land Club is now carried out. The high authority of Lewis Dwnn's Visitations, and the extreme rarity and costliness of the work in which they were first printed by the Welsh Manuscript Society in 1846, rendered it desirable that the Montgomeryshire portion of such Visitations should be placed in the hands of the Members. This has been done, with- out extra cost, as part of the publications of the Club. One hundred extra copies have been printed before the type was distributed, which are intended to be offered to Members of the Club in the first instance. Any not taken by them will be offered for sale to the public. INTRODUCTION. To aid the memory in cherishing and perpetuating the record of what is honourable and of good report in families, has been pro- nounced "the science of fools with long memories." If wisdom were always associated with a short or tarnished one, we might accept such a dictum; but, as this is not so, we may safely refer else- where for a more truthful definition of so well-abused and mis- represented a study as genealogy.

    THE CLWYD POWYS ARCHAEOLOGICAL TRUST Montgomeryshire LANDMAP Historic Landscape Aspect Technical Report CPAT Report No 804 CPAT Report No 804 Montgomeryshire LANDMAP Historic Landscape Aspect Technical Report W J Britnell and C H R Martin May 2006 Report for Powys County Council The Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust 7a Church Street, Welshpool, Powys, SY21 7DL tel (01938) 553670, fax (01938) 552179 email [email protected] web www.cpat.org.uk EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Historic Landscape Aspect of the Montgomeryshire LANDMAP identified 102 separate aspect areas, ranging in size from 0.27 to 129.99 square kilometres and representing 12 different landscape patterns, at Level 3 in the current LANDMAP Information System handbook. The patterns represented are Irregular fieldscape (40 areas), Regular fieldscape (12 areas), Other fieldscape (6 areas), Woodland (7 areas), Marginal land (11 areas), Water & wetland (1 area), Nucleated settlement (14 areas), Non-nucleated settlement (1 area), Extractive industry (1 area), Processing/manufacturing (3 area), Designed landscape (1 area) and Recreational (1 area). Historic Landscape aspect areas were identified using a number of digital and paper data sources, verified by rapid field visiting and drawn as a digital map against a 1:10,000 OS map background attached to a database of supporting information. These digital elements and this Technical Report contain the results of the Montgomeryshire LANDMAP study and were submitted to Powys County Council and the Countryside Council for Wales on completion of the project. Montgomeryshire’s historic landscape has evolved over the course of many millennia and shows considerable variety within one of Wales’ largest historical counties.
