For if the Lord God he give us legs? (Marvin Kitman) Almighty is with us, who can prevail against us? Answer – no one! St Paul The month of November begins with a often uses the imagery of armour and Christian festival which is usually weapons to describe the Christian life: overlooked – All Saints Day. Put aside the deeds of darkness and put Overshadowed by the secular on the armour of light (Romans 13:12) celebrations of Halloween we tend to The weapons we fight with … have let All Saints slip by unnoticed.

So how about it – are you people of God, will ultimately be and active in their fulfilment of the will ready to wield the sword of the Spirit victorious over evil and wickedness. of God. Where then today are the bold in the name of Jesus Christ? The problem is that actually we’re not Christians?

People who are willing to stand up and Yours in Christ Christian courage is based upon a be counted for Christ. simple promise – that God is with us Simon Drew, Rector There’s a lot to do! After over 700 years of continuous worship and service our lovely building RESTORATION is in need of attention. Compare the masonry around the east, south and west faces of the church with the north side, and you will soon see how much better the north side looks after the completion of Phase 1. The same is true of the south aisle roof which was last re-slated about 100 years ago and which you may well have noticed leaks from time to time. Projects like this take a long time, partly because of the need to consult the congregation and ensure that the work is done to a high standard and in conformity with the historical style of the building, and partly because of the time it takes to raise the necessary funds: so please be patient, and pray for us! Some things can be done ‘as we go along’, such as the recent stained glass repairs, but the next major phase will be a large one: as well as dealing with more roofing and masonry, it will improve the interior of the building by providing up to date facilities and enabling the space to be used more flexibly. If you havn’t already done so, please pick up a Phase 2 leaflet from the back of the Church.

  • Brycheiniog: English Translations of Welsh Articles
    Brycheiniog: English Translations of Welsh Articles Brycheiniog Volume XLIX (2018): The Twelve Companions of Anlach, Brynach Parry, pages 133-41. The number twelve occurs a significant number of times in the early myths, legends and histories concerning the foundation of the ancient Kingdom of Brycheiniog. Numbers do, of course, have a magical significance in many of mankind's religions, legends and mythologies, and are frequently used as a rough representation of a total – 2, 40, 100, 300 - rather than as a precise number. The fact that both Welsh and Breton treat the number between 17 and 19 – deunaw and tric'hwec'h – differently from those on either side suggests that 18 had some magical quality in the minds of our common Brythonic ancestors. As is the case with widespread taboos against mentioning the name of certain animals or objects1, both languages avoid using the number that could logically be expected in the series, namely 'tri-ar-bymtheg' or 'eizhtek', preferring to use instead a multiple of other magical numbers - (2x9, 3x6). Apart from the mathematical power and usefulness of the number twelve2, it is also an extremely potent example of the importance of numbers in terms of religion and mythology all over the world. The two documents that relate the story of the establishment of the Kingdom of Brycheiniog, namely De Situ Brecheniauc3 and Cognatio Brychan4, are considered to be some of the earliest vernacular records in the whole of Europe after the collapse of the Roman Empire5. Despite the fact that they are written in Latin and that they are late copies (De Situ - 13th Century and Cognatio - 17th Century) of much earlier documents, as evidenced by the forms of the Welsh place-names in them, they offer us the 'official' foundation history or mythology of early Brycheiniog.

North Cornwall District serves as a car park and bus waiting area. Council, as the local planning authority, has a duty to designate appropriate parts of its area as Conservation Areas. At present there are some 8,500 Conservation Areas in England of which 29 are in the district of North Cornwall. During the preparation of the North Cornwall District Local Plan the centre of Marhamchurch was identified as a potential Conservation Area. Following public consultation it was designated as a Conservation Area by North Cornwall District Council on 3 February 1997. The Village of Marhamchurch Marhamchurch is a ridgetop settlement situated about 1.5 km (1 mile) south-west of Bude. It lies just off the A39, close to Helebridge, on the line of the old Bude Canal. St. Marwenne's Church is the dominant feature of the village, visible from some distance. The main street is a broad open space extending eastward from the church.

  • AN INTRODUCTORY HISTORY of the ORTHODOX CHURCH in BRITAIN and IRELAND from Its Beginnings to the Eleventh Century
    1 AN INTRODUCTORY HISTORY OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH IN BRITAIN AND IRELAND From its Beginnings to the Eleventh Century By Aidan Hart PART I (until 600 AD) “In all parts of Spain, among the diverse nations of the Gauls, in regions of the Britons beyond Roman sway but subjected to Christ... the name of Christ now reigns.” (Tertullian in “Adversus Judaeos” Ch. 7, circa 200 AD) Introduction There is a saying on Mount Athos that it is not where we live that saves us but the way we live. This is a play on the Greek words topos and tropos . One could add that neither is it when we live that saves us. And yet on reading the lives of saints who lived in other epochs and other lands it is easy to feel that it is impossible for us, in our circumstances, to approach their level of repentance and humility. This is one reason why many British and other English speakers are being attracted to the saints of the British Isles: although these saints lived over a millennium ago they lived on our own soil, or at least on that of our ancestors. It is as though these local saints are not only supporting us from heaven, but are also with us here, on the same soil where they once struggled in the spiritual life. How eagerly the saints of Britain must await our prayers that the land in which they so mightily laboured should again become a garden of virtue! It is difficult to be inspired by saints about whom we know little.

The most well-known are Blegywryd,4 Cyfnerth and Morgenau,5 and Iorwerth ap Madog,6 to whom the main Welsh redactions, namely Llyfr Blegywryd, Llyfr Cyfnerth and Llyfr Iorwerth, are attributed.

  • Exploring the Kingdom of Brycheiniog: an Integrated Archaeological Approach in an Early Medieval Landscape
    Exploring the Kingdom of Brycheiniog: An Integrated Archaeological Approach in an Early Medieval Landscape Genevieve Cain Kellogg College University of Oxford A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Applied Landscape Archaeology Michaelmas 2018 Candidate number: 1012656 Word count: 16,425 ABSTRACT Research into the formation and growth of early medieval kingdoms in Wales is limited by a considerable paucity of archaeological and documentary evidence. Compounded by a bias of ‘high status’ sites within the Historic Environment Record and the literature, the scholarly tradition has remained focussed on the scant material remains and intermittent historical sources. In contrast, this thesis argues that for a new perspective on the socio-economic environment of these polities, research using a suite of relevant and bespoke landscape archaeology tools, particularly with the aim of understanding the natural environment affordance, be elevated in priority. Guided by archaeological and theoretical frameworks which anchor the research, an innovative, ‘bottom-up’ methodological approach is advocated and applied to one such early medieval kingdom, the Kingdom of Brycheiniog, in mid-Wales (c. AD 500-1066). To ascertain the extent to which Brycheiniog has an expression in the landscape, a suite of early medieval indicators are identified, cross-examined and contextualised against the affordance of the natural environment. These indicators form the basis for establishing characteristics of the Kingdom such as activity hubs, networks and economy. The results of this analysis reveal attributes of a kingdom with inherently Irish characteristics in the early medieval period. Activity hubs, indicated by early ecclesiastical sites, ogam stones, the Llangorse Lake crannog and pre-AD 1200 place-names, are centred along riverways and Roman roads, particularly around Llangorse Lake and the River Llynfi catchment in the upper Usk valley.
