  • Chapter V Educational Provision in Wales Part

    Chapter V Educational Provision in Wales Part

    CHAPTER V EDUCATIONAL PROVISION IN WALES PART (i) : SCHOOLS In medieval Wales it was the Church which assumed the greatest responsibility for schooling, bardic schools and possibly the households of the Welsh lords being also centres of learning. The English universities, and to a lesser extent, the continental universities and the inns of court, provided further or higher 1 education for the ablest talents of Wales. In England, by the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, lay involvement in educati4n increased, as the needs of the Crown, the aristocracy and the towns expanded, and this was also faintly apparent in as scattered and 2 rural a society as Wales. The revival of classical learning emphasised anew the educational qualities required of administrators and all useful members of the state and which were also to be expected of gentlemen. At a time of social change, in Wales as in England, education became a 3 means of asserting and of reinforcing social distinctions. Neither the schools nor the universities were particularly suited 4 to the task of preparing young gentlemen. The newer grammar schools tried tEadapt, and there were a few signs that the universities and the inns of court, though still largely institutions of professional instruction, made some concessions towards providing a more general and 5 popular education. The essential conservatism of these places meant 6 that they were not in the van of intellectual progress. Rather, they were places for disseminating received and accepted truths intermixed with north European humanism and religious ideology, giving force to 333. 7 the ideal of wise and moral service and leadership.

    We Will Remember Them...The Men From

    The War Memorial project began when I received a letter from Revd Melanie Fitzgerald, of St Mary’s, Sheffield. The Walkley History Group were restoring a window in the former Liberal Reform Club, now the Walkley Community centre. My Great Uncle, James Craven, was one of the club members who had been killed in WWI and who had been commemorated in the window. My family had photographs of James which allowed the team to restore his picture in the window, which was rededicated on 4th August 2014, a hundred years after the outbreak of World War I. The restored photograph of James Craven in the Walkley Community Centre Memorial window. The Walkley historians were the inspiration for our research in Eglwysbach and Llansantffraid Glan Conwy Each Remembrance Sunday we stand beside the Memorial at the gates of St Martin’s Church whilst the names of the Eglwysbach war dead are read aloud. I have always found this a very moving ceremony, but in reality we no longer know about these men. Melanie had succeeded in tracing me through three generations of women, all of whom had married and changed their surname. Her determination in tracing James’ descendants inspired me to look at the men from our villages in order that they also can be remembered as people, not just as a list of names. 1 Our starting point was the St. Martin’s Memorial, which lists the names of twenty two men who died in the First World War, their Regiment and residence. There is also a Roll of Honour in the Church, which lists men who served in the forces, including some of the fallen.
