    Second homes: Developing new policies in Wales Author: Dr Simon Brooks Second homes: Developing new policies in Wales Audience Welsh Government departments; public bodies in Wales; community councils; third sector organisations in Wales; private sector companies in Wales; organisations working with communities; and other interested parties. Overview This report was initiated following the award of a small grant by the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol to Dr Simon Brooks, Associate Professor in the School of Management at Swansea University, to scrutinise policy on second homes in Wales and Cornwall. The original aim was to prepare a brief report focussing on the comparison between public policy solutions based on taxation policy (Wales) and planning policy (Cornwall). However, due to the increasing interest in this subject area, the Welsh Government’s Minister for Mental Health, Well-being and Welsh Language asked if the research could be expanded in order to scrutinise some wider issues regarding second homes and to make policy recommendations.

Oct. 2021 HISTORICAL WRITING IN MEDIEVAL WALES OWAIN WYN JONES Dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Bangor University 2013 I SUMMARY This study focusses on the writing of history in medieval Wales. Its starting-point is a series of historical texts in Middle Welsh which, from the second quarter of the fourteenth century, begin to appear together in manuscripts to form a continuous history, termed the Welsh Historical Continuum. The central component of this sequence is a translation of Geoffrey of Monmouth’s influential history of the Britons. The main questions of the first part of the thesis are when and why these historical texts were first combined, and to what degree this Welsh historiographical phenomenon reflects broader European trends.

[Holyhead Journal] Friday, at 11 in the morning I left Chester. It was Sept. 22d 1727. I bated at a blind ale-house 7 miles from Chester. I thence rode to Ridland; in all 22 miles.

I left Ridland a quar- ter after 4 morn. on Saturday, stopt on Penmenmawr,1 examined about my sign verses; the Inn is to be on t’other side therefore the verses to be changed. I bait- ed at Conway, the Guide going to anothr Inn, the Maid of the old Inn saw me in the street, and said that was my House she knew me; there I dined, and send for Ned Holland; a Squire famous for being mentioned in Mr Lyndsay’s Verses to Davy Morice.2 I there again to saw Hooks Tomb, who was the 41st Child of 1 Unless he doubled back to Conwy, which is unlikely given his haste, Swift’s narrative is disor- dered at this point. Heading along the coast westwards, Penmaenmawr comes after Conwy not before it.
