I am sincerely grateful to the efforts of everyone who has helped contribute to the making of this Plan which is so important for the future of Powys. Importantly, the Plan sets out a clear and strong strategy for meeting the future needs of the county’s communities over the next decade. By focussing development on our market towns and largest villages, it provides the direction and certainty to support investment and enable economic opportunities to be seized, to grow and support viable service centres and for housing development to accommodate our growing and changing household needs. At the same time the Plan provides the protection for our outstanding and important natural, built and cultural environments that make Powys such an attractive and special place in which to live, work, visit and enjoy. Our efforts along with all our partners must now shift to delivering the Plan for the benefit of our communities. Councillor Martin Weale Portfolio Holder for Economy and Planning

  • 'IARRIAGES Introduction This Volume of 'Stray' Marriages Is Published with the Hope That It Will Prove
    S T R A Y S Volume One: !'IARRIAGES Introduction This volume of 'stray' marriages is published with the hope that it will prove of some value as an additional source for the familv historian. For economic reasons, the 9rooms' names only are listed. Often people married many miles from their own parishes and sometimes also away from the parish of the spouse. Tracking down such a 'stray marriage' can involve fruitless and dishearteninq searches and may halt progress for many years. - Included here are 'strays', who were married in another parish within the county of Powys, or in another county. There are also a few non-Powys 'strays' from adjoining counties, particularly some which may be connected with Powys families. For those researchers puzzled and confused by the thought of dealing with patronymics, when looking for their Welsh ancestors, a few are to be found here and are ' indicated by an asterisk. A simple study of these few examples may help in a search for others, although it must be said, that this is not so easy when the father's name is not given. I would like to thank all those members who have helped in anyway with the compilation of this booklet. A second collection is already in progress; please· send any contributions to me.

  • North-East Wales Itinerary: the Riches of the North-East of Wales
    North-east Wales itinerary: the riches of the north-east of Wales In north east Wales a collection of major mighty monuments are waiting to be explored, and all just a short distance from each other. Along the north coastline near Rhyl you’ll find the ingenious Rhuddlan Castle which was one of the strongest of Edward I’s castles. Just a 20 minute drive inland from here Denbigh Castle and Town Walls crown the summit of a prominent outcrop overlooking the Vale of Clwyd. Continue south and you’ll soon come across the glorious Rug Chapel and Llangar Old Parish Church, and travel a bit further east to reach the stunning Valle Crucis Abbey. Denbigh Castle and Town Walls Crowning the summit of a prominent outcrop overlooking the Vale of Clwyd, the principal feature of the spectacular Denbigh Castle and Town Walls is the triple-towered great gatehouse dating back to the thirteenth-century. Along with over half a mile of town walls, Denbigh Castle is a classic fortress of Edwardian proportions. Henry de Lacy, one of the king’s loyal commanders, was given control of the area and had the task of building the new castle. He couldn’t go far wrong with the king’s master mason, James of St George, at his side. It wasn’t all plain sailing however. A Welsh rebellion, led by Madog ap Llywelyn, captured the partly-built castle in 1294, but Edward’s dominance and the castle-building programme were soon restored. You can see for yourself the two phases of building work.

  • Powys Younger Yews
    POWYS - churchyard sites with younger yews CPAT refers to the Clwyd/Powys Archaeological Trust BEGUILDY St Michael SO194797 25/4/2004 Tim Hills In 1995 CPAT noted ‘a line of 3 yews west of the church, only one survives, the others have stumps only. Another yew S of the porch’. In 2004 I found several pieces of yew stump in a thicket of elder south of the church. One of the smaller pieces supported large amounts of new growth. It seemed to me that pieces of the felled yews west of the church had also been dumped with the remains of the yew south of the church. BETTWS CEDEWAIN St Cedewain SO1227396827 1995 CPAT In 1995 CPAT noted a ‘group of four yew bushes on northern edge of the graveyard, and the stumps of two others south of them.

  • Community No
    FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. M05 - BETTWS Introduction 1. The present community of Bettws derives from the historical parish of Betws Cedewain. The community lies in the Montgomeryshire hill country, where it is intersected by the valleys of the Bechan and Highgate brooks and their small tributaries. The largest settlement in the community is the large village of Betws Cedewain, an attractive village with a number of community services and facilities, the centre of which comprises a Conservation Area. The remainder of the population lives in scattered farms and dwellings and in the small rural settlement of Brooks on the boundary with the community of Berriew. 2. The community has a population of 425, an electorate of 357 (2005) and a council of 7 members. The precept required for 2005 is £3,475, representing a Council Tax Band D equivalent of £17.49. 3. In the 1986 Review, this community was considered too small to be viable, and there were proposals for amalgamation in this area, with the proposal that initially found favour with the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales being a merger of Tregynon and Bettws. There was strong opposition to this proposal from the affected community councils, and, following a public Local Inquiry on 28 September 1978 at Tregynon, the Commission stated: "In view of the strength of public opinion, we recommend that… the remainder of the Community of Bettws… should remain as a separate community. There is sufficient evidence to suggest that Tregynon, Manafon, Bettws and Aberhafesp will in the near future, see an increase in development in their communities as a consequence of the growth of Newtown, with people moving from the town to the rural villages".
