Watching Brief Report Old Gwernyfed, Felindre, Powys Non-Technical Summary This report results from work undertaken by Archaeology Wales Ltd for Mr Iain Burgess of BVG Airflo Group Ltd. It draws upon the results of an archaeological watching brief carried out during excavations for a water pipe trench within the grounds of the Grade I listed Jacobean mansion, Old Gwernyfed. The features identified during the fieldwork significantly include the foundation material for three stone walls. The foundations (101) [102] encountered within the outer court are potentially medieval (but could alternatively be associated with the adjacent farm buildings). The mortared foundation material (207) [208] recorded within the inner court appear to mark the original boundary wall of the Jacobean forecourt. The substantial stone wall (310) [312] located to the north-east of Old Gwernyfed has been interpreted as a retaining wall of probable nineteenth century date. Other structures recorded during the trenching consist of a post-medieval water culvert (306) [307], found below the driveway, a few metres to the east of the house. A rectangular chamber (212) [213], built in stone and brick, was also identified at the front of the manor house, near the North Tower. The latter structure is probably late Victorian or early twentieth century. Four irregular features, backfilled with sandstone rubble and dressed stone, were recorded to the south-east and north-east of Old Gwernyfed. One of these features may represent the construction trench [210] and backfill (209) for a tower located within the Elizabethan inner court. Another rubble deposit (205) [206] in the near vicinity may be associated with the demolition of the Jacobean forecourt wall (207). Two further deposits of stone rubble (308) [309] (313) [314] were discovered within the bank situated to the north-east of the mansion; these appear to date from the nineteenth century. 1. Introduction 1.1 Location and Scope of Work 1.1.1. An archaeological watching brief has been carried out by Archaeology Wales Ltd (AW) during excavations for a water pipe trench at Old Gwernyfed, Felindre, Powys, LD3 0SU (Figs.1&2; Plate 1). 1.1.2. The groundwork comprised the excavation of a single pipe trench to approximately 700mm depth and 600mm wide. The trench extended about 50m between the eighteenth and nineteenth century range of barns within the outer court, running in a general north-west direction through the towered forecourt to connect with the (north-east) service wing of Jacobean mansion. A further trench extended another 50m or so, north-north-west of the mansion, towards a converted nineteenth century barn within the grounds of Old Gwernyfed. 1.1.3. Archaeological work has been recommended for this scheme by Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust (CPAT) in its capacity as archaeological adviser to the planning authority, Powys County Council. 1.1.4. The archaeological watching brief was carried out at the request of Mr Iain Burgess - 1 - Watching Brief Report Old Gwernyfed, Felindre, Powys Chief Executive, BVG Airflo Group Ltd, Units 5&6, Ffrwdgrech Industrial Estate, Brecon, Powys LD3 8LA. 1.1.5. A Specification (Appendix D) for the work to be undertaken was drawn up by Chris E Smith (AW). This was subsequently approved by Mark Walters (CPAT). 1.1.6. The AW project number is 2226 and the site code is GMF/14/WB. 1.1.7. The site is located at NGR 318250, 236550 (SO 1825 3655) and is situated at approximately 156m OD (above Ordnance Datum). 1.2 Topography 1.2.1. Old Gwernyfed is located on the western side of Felindre village, approximately 7.5km (4.5 miles) south-west of Hay-on-Wye and about 4km (2.5 miles) north-east of Talgarth. The manor house is situated within open countryside on the northern side of the minor road between Felindre and Talgarth. 1.2.2. The mansion is set within its own grounds at the end of an axial driveway. The formal approach passes through entrance gates leading to an outer court and towered forecourt to a double-height porch on the front (south-east) façade. There was previously an additional approach from the Brecon-Hay road that passed along a tree- lined avenue through the deer park to the west of Old Gwernyfed. 1.3. Mapped Geology 1.3.1. The regional geology as mapped by the British Geological Survey (1:50,000 scale) indicates that the bedrock geology is composed of mudstones and siltstones of the Raglan Mudstone Formation. There are superficial deposits of Devensian glacial till mapped within the scheme area. 1.3.2. The mapped geology indicates that boulder clay or red weathered mudstone and siltstone deposits will be encountered in the first metre below surface during the proposed groundworks. 1.4 Archaeological and Historical Background 1.4.1. Old Gwernyfed represents an exceptional seventeenth century mansion that retains important interior features and surviving evidence of the preceding medieval house. The manor house is Grade I listed (Cadw Ref: 6654; NPRN 25947; PRN 528 & 32966). 1.4.2. Gwernyfed is thought to have originated as a holding granted to Peter Gunter by Bernard de Neufmarché following the conquest of Brycheiniog. The manor was also reputedly held by a local Welsh Prince, Einon Sais. In the early 1500s, Gwernyfed was under the ownership of Gryffydd Gunter Vychan. 1.4.3. Gwernyfed came into the hands of the Williams family around 1580. The medieval manor house was extensively rebuilt in the early 1600s, probably by Sir David Williams, MP for Brecon. It was probably during the remodelling of the manor house that the formal gardens were laid out to the north-west of the house (incorporating the medieval fishponds to the south-west). - 2 - Watching Brief Report Old Gwernyfed, Felindre, Powys 1.4.4. The principal residence of the Williams family moved to Llangoed Hall in the 1730s. In the 1870s or 1880s a large neo-Jacobean-style mansion (Gwernyfed Park House) was built on the northern side of the deer park, about 1.5km north-west of Old Gwenyfed.

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

  • Phone Box I Remember Being Quite Excited at the Prospect of This Village Having a Telephone Box
    Phone Box I remember being quite excited at the prospect of this village having a telephone box. In the early 1960’s only five or six households had the luxury of a telephone. When the railway station was open emergency phone calls could be made from the Booking Office at cost price. It was originally intended to place the kiosk on the junction under the street light but space was very limited and the new phone box was eventually erected in its current position. The year was 1966 Roger Young, May 2019 Street Lights Originally there was only one feeble street light in the village situated on the junction. In the early 1960’s a second light was placed in the middle of the village. The current seven light scheme was put in about 1980 and included a light in the phone kiosk. The railway station never had electricity and was lit by oil lamps. Roger Young, 20 th May 2019 School Transport On the demise of the trains at the end of 1962, home to school transport was provided by bus. Gwernyfed was served by Western Welsh. Llangorse area to Brecon County schools travelled on Vic Jones Pontfaen’s “Flying Banana”, a pale yellow and white with a black flash; a Bedford S B Coach with a 33 seater Duple Body that leaked whenever it rained (Registration no: CCP339). Any trouble-makers were allocated seats that the driver, Vic, could see in his interior mirrors; continued bad behaviour resulted in the pupil being thrown off the bus and left to walk home - as Vic would say, he was not in the army for nothing! The bus never broke down in the morning going to school but the trip home was not so reliable.
