In 1992 I became the licensee of the Collection and published my first book, The Byrom Collection in 1992. My work with the drawings had really begun. A reconstruction of Shakespeare’s Globe was about to be built in Southwark, London. It was my wish that the theatre drawings in the Collection should be in the public domain to help with that project, if possible. An understandable aspiration, I thought, but I had not antici- pated the challenges which that wish brought. Establishing the provenance of the drawings, and the absence of experts who understood the geometry and numerology inherent in them, were only two of the major difficulties I had to face.

There is much to enjoy in Monmouthshire’s countryside over the summer, so I hope you’ll take the chance to get out there and let us know what you find. If you have comments or questions or would like to contribute to future newsletters please contact Morag Sinton, Countryside Volunteer Coordinator on 01633 644663 or [email protected] Countryside Sites in South East Monmouthshire From January to June I worked an extra four hours per week, checking five sites in the south east of Monmouthshire. It has been a pleasure getting to know them and watching as we have moved from the bare depths of winter to the leafy abundance of early summer. Here is a whirlwind tour, with some of the highlights of what I have seen. I hope you’ll be inspired to visit too. Abbey Tintern Furnace and Lower Wireworks car park are in the Angidy Valley above Tintern. They are on the route of the long distance Tewdrig Trail from Tintern to Mathern, as well as the Angidy Trail which links all the industrial archaeological sites in the valley. In early May the banks at Abbey Tintern Furnace were awash with cowslips, more than I have ever seen together before.

The art of Turner and his contemporaries, the poetry of Wordsworth, have brought fame and fascination and drawn people to be moved by these remarkable ruins set against wooded hills and dramatic scenery, and inspired them to write, draw, paint and compose. For the next few months until September 28, there is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the world renowned artworks that these sites have inspired, at the two nearby museums of Chepstow and Abergavenny. These two Monmouthshire museums have worked to gather together the best and most interesting art from the National collections in London as well as Wales, and from major museums throughout the UK to create exhibitions devoted to Llanthony Priory at Abergavenny Museum and Tintern Abbey at Chepstow Museum. Both exhibitions feature works by JMW Turner, with watercolours of Tintern Abbey coming from the Ashmolean, V&A, British Museum and Tate, and bringing pencil drawings and sketches alongside finished pieces of both sites in both shows.

  • Introduction
    Introduction By the second quarter of the twelfth century, when Tintern, Whitland and Margam, the first Cistercian abbeys in Wales, were founded, the Anglo- Norman aristocratic élite from which their founders were drawn had succeeded in establishing firm control over lowland Gwent, Glamorgan, Gower and Pembroke, but Whitland and Margam were located on the fringes of these areas in the frontier zones between them and adjoining territory remaining under de facto Welsh rule, and Anglo-Norman governance in these zones was ‘frequently skeletal, nominal or non- existent’1 and constantly being challenged by the Welsh. They were joined in 1147 by the two Welsh Savigniac abbeys, Neath and Basingwerk, which became Cistercian when the Order of Savigny merged with the Cistercian Order. Like Whitland and Margam, Neath was located in a frontier zone, and the Anglo-Norman hold on the area of north-east Wales in which Basingwerk was located was also tenuous by the time it became Cistercian. Following the assumption of the patronage of Whitland and its first daughter-house, Strata Florida, by Rhys ap Gruffudd, the Lord Rhys (d. 1197), after he had succeeded in re-establishing Welsh hegemony in the kingdom of Deheubarth in the 1150s, the filiation of Whitland, which by 1201 numbered a further six Cistercian abbeys distributed throughout the length and breadth of pura Wallia, became clearly identifiable as native Welsh abbeys with Welsh patrons, choir monks and political sympathies, whereas the other Cistercian foundations in Wales all had French or English mother houses and choir monks, maintained close connections with their Anglo-Norman patrons, and were unable to establish Welsh daughter 1 R.R.
