  • A Welsh Classical Dictionary
    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). In these five charters he is contemporary with bishop Berthwyn and Ithel ap Morgan, king of Glywysing. He succeeded Sulien as abbot and was succeeded by Paul. See Trans.Cym., 1948 pp.291-2, (but ignore the dates), and compare Wendy Davies, LlCh p.55 where Danog and Dagan are distinguished. Wendy Davies dates the BLD charters c.A.D.722 to 740 (ibid., pp.102 - 114). DALLDAF ail CUNIN COF. (Legendary). He is included in the tale of ‘Culhwch and Olwen’ as one of the warriors of Arthur's Court: Dalldaf eil Kimin Cof (WM 460, RM 106). In a triad (TYP no.73) he is called Dalldaf eil Cunyn Cof, one of the ‘Three Peers’ of Arthur's Court. In another triad (TYP no.41) we are told that Fferlas (Grey Fetlock), the horse of Dalldaf eil Cunin Cof, was one of the ‘Three Lovers' Horses’ (or perhaps ‘Beloved Horses’).

  • Ein Gweledigaeth Our Vision
    Ein gweledigaeth Our vision Ein gweledigaeth Cyfl wyniad gan Esgob Bangor Our vision An introduction by the Bishop of Bangor Fel Cristnogion yn Esgobeth Bangor, gallwn olrhain ein hanes yn ôl i ddynion a merched sanctaidd a sefydlodd gymunedau o weddi a gwasanaeth ar draws yr esgobaeth mor gynnar â’r bumed ganrif. Parheir i goff áu’r saint Celtaidd cynnar hyn – Deiniol, Cybi, Seiriol, Tudwen, Madryn, a llawer o rai eraill – yn enwau ein heglwysi, ein pentrefi a’n trefi . Fileniwm a hanner yn ddiweddarach, nid yw ein cenhadaeth wedi newid – ond mae’n cyd-destun yn newydd, ac yn heriol. Ein hymateb ni yw ymrwymo’n hunain i wireddu gweledigaeth esgobaethol o ddilyn Crist ag egni newydd ac mewn ff yrdd newydd, ac i wneud hynny drwy sefydlu a hybu tri chonglfaen, tri chanolbwynt, tri chynllun a thri chynsail allweddol. As Christians in the Diocese of Bangor, we can trace our history back to holy men and women who founded communities of prayer and service across the diocese as early as the fi fth century. These early Celtic saints – Deiniol, Cybi, Seiriol, Tudwen, Madryn, and many others – are still commemorated in the names of our churches, villages and towns. A millennium and a half later, our mission hasn’t changed – but our context today is new and challenging. Our response as a diocese has been to commit ourselves to a vision of following Jesus with new energy and in new ways, and to do so by establishing and advancing three key principles, three key priorities, three key plans, and three new platforms.

  • Holyhead) and Mona Are Suitable for Gypsy/ Travellers Sites
    GYPSY TRAVELLER SITES PENRHOS AND MONA Gypsy Traveller Sites Consultation Response to Penrhos and Mona March 2016 Status: Official Sensitive Prepared by: Tudur H. Jones Economic & Community Regeneration Service ECONOMIC & COMMUNITY REGENERATION SERVICE, IACC MARCH 2016 GYPSY TRAVELLER SITES PENRHOS AND MONA 1.0 Purpose of the Paper 1.1 The purpose of this paper is to provide comments from the Economic & Community Regeneration Service on the proposals within the consultation that Penrhos (Holyhead) and Mona are suitable for Gypsy/ Travellers sites. 1.2 This paper will also provide a summary and conclusion in terms of the Service’s views for both of the sites and the reasons why we feel these sites are not suitable. 2.0 Background 2.1 The Housing (Wales) Act 2014 places a duty on Local Authorities to provide sites for Gypsies and Travellers where a need has been identified. 2.2 Work has taken place at the Isle of Anglesey County Council to identify possible locations for Gypsy and Traveller sites on the Island. As a result of this process a shortlist of sites have been drawn up which includes the Heliport Site Penrhos (Holyhead) and Mona Industrial Estate being considered suitable as “Temporary Stopping Sites”. 3.0 The Heliport Sites, Penrhos, Holyhead 3.1 The Economic & Community Regeneration Service’s (E&CR) opinion – mirroring those of the Welsh Government for their Parc Cybi site – is that the former Heliport Site on the Penrhos Industrial Estate is not suitable for a temporary stopping site for Gypsy Travellers in the Holyhead area. 3.2 There are a number of reasons for this which are articulated and covered in more detail below: 1.

  • Christianity and National Identity in Twentieth-Century Wales 1 *
    Religion, State & Society, Vol. 27, Nos 3/4, 1999 Christianity and National Identity in Twentieth-Century Wales 1 * D. DENSIL MORGAN The Historical Background to 1914 Although the coming of Christianity to Wales predated the birth of the Welsh nation, the huge missionary thrust which created a specifically Celtic Christian civilisation in the Isle of Britain coincided with the emergence of Wales as a distinct national entity. If the birth of Wales is dated sometime during the latter part of the fifth century, the 'age of the [Celtic] saints' during which David, and a generation pre­ viously, Dyfrig and Illtud fulfilled their ministry, lasted between about 450 and 600 AD. By the beginning of the seventh century Christianity and the life of the emerging nation had become so tightly intertwined as to be virtually indistinguish­ able and for nearly a millennium and a half thereafter Welsh identity and religious affiliation were aspects of the same reality. 'Of all the associations between religion and social values in Wales the most intriguing and longest lasting has been that between religion and nationality. From the outset, the Christian religion seemed to be part of the essence of Welshness.'2 In other words being Welsh meant being Christian. Given the nature of European civilisation during the early Middle Ages such a claim is hardly unique. Wales belonged to Christendom as did many other peoples and kingdoms and as such was happy to identify itself with the faith. However, whereas the onset of modernism and later (and especially) the presuppositions of the Enlightenment threatened to sever the unity between religious affiliation and citizen­ ship, in Wales that unity was preserved.

Returning after 40 years, he finds much additional interest on this large Welsh island We (Time Team) recently made a film in Anglesey in north Wales, investigating an earthwork of unknown date in the middle of a wind farm – it ANGLESEY turned out to be a late iron age/Romano-British enclosure. I took advantage of a few days off to look around the sites on the island. I had last visited Anglesey about 40 years ago, REVISITED and I had forgotten quite how spectacular the monuments are. When I was younger I had been attracted by the density of field monuments. I had obtained a copy of the Royal Commission volume (on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales) which illustrated the sites, and I could walk and visit many of them in a day whilst camping in my small tent. It is no exaggeration to say that my interest in archaeology was encouraged and fostered by my visits to Anglesey during my formative teenage years.
