St David's (Cardiff)

Il St David's (noto anche come St David's Shopping Centre) è il più grande centro commerciale di Cardiff e del Galles in generale, oltre ad essere uno dei più grandi della Gran Bretagna. La prima parte del centro commerciale è stata aperta nel 1982. Dopo un ampliamento nel 2009 e un'accurata ristrutturazione, il centro commerciale è stato riaperto nel 2009. L'area commerciale si estende su 129.561 mq e 203 negozi. Il centro commerciale è gestito da Intu Group. La prima fase di costruzione Il St David's è stato aperto al pubblico per la prima volta nel gennaio 1981. Tuttavia, l'apertura ufficiale non ebbe luogo fino al 24 marzo 1982. Il centro ha quattro ingressi situati su Queen Street, Cathedral Walk, Working Street e Hills Street. L'ingresso di Hills Street collega la zona nord della seconda parte del centro commerciale. All'interno dell'edificio sono presenti diversi corridoi di collegamento, che consentono un rapido passaggio tra la prima metà dell'edificio e la seconda. La seconda fase di costruzione Il St David's, e gran parte dell'estremità meridionale del centro commerciale, è stata ristrutturata come parte dello sviluppo di St David's 2. La seconda fase di costruzione ha visto un'estensione del centro commerciale da 675 milioni di sterline che ha comportato la demolizione di gran parte delle zone e degli edifici meridionali della città. Tra gli edifici demoliti ci sono l'Oxford Arcade, il St David Market, il St David's Link, inclusa la Cardiff Central Library, il parcheggio su NCP Tredegar Street, la Wales National Ice Rink e Toys "R" Us, che si trova al Cardiff International Sports Village. Durante la seconda fase di costruzione, il complesso era noto come St. David's 2. Dopo il completamento, è stato stabilito il nome correntemente in uso. La seconda fase di costruzione comprende un totale di tre edifici principali. L'edificio della Central Library occupa l'ex sito del parcheggio del Mariott Hotel, il negozio John Lewis occupa l'ex Wales National Ice Rink e il centro commerciale principale occupa l'ex sito dell'Oxford Arcade, St David's Link e il lato occidentale di Bridge Street. Gli appartamenti, noti anche come Hayes Apartments, sono stati costruiti sopra il centro commerciale. Il secondo edificio è diviso in tre sezioni, queste sono: St David's Walk, che conduce all'estensione di Debenhams e al Grand Arcade. St. David's Way, la parte originale di St David's. Grand Arcade, che collega St David's Walk all'interno del centro commerciale originale al John Lewis Store. Il Grand Arcade è diviso su due piani. Ad est del centro commerciale si trovano principalmente diversi ristoranti e caffetterie, distribuiti su due piani. Il primo grande magazzino John Lewis in Galles, gestito dalla catena John Lewis, è stato aperto nel 2009 ed è attualmente il negozio più grande al di fuori di Londra. John Lewis ha aperto quattro settimane prima dell'apertura del St David's Arcade.

Clegyr Boia

Clegyr Boia, or Clegyr Fwya, is a prehistoric site on the St David's peninsula, Pembrokeshire, Wales, 33 to 65 feet (10 to 20 m) above the surrounding area. It is about 1 mile (1.6 km) west of St Davids, and about 0.75 miles (1.21 km) east of the Pembrokeshire coast. The hilltop's rocky outcrop contains evidence of Neolithic and Iron Age settlements. The site's nearest water source was Ffynnon Lygaid, a 1 foot (0.30 m) deep pool, fed by a spring. Near the base of the outcrop's southern side, the pool is in a small hollow, measuring about 1 foot (0.30 m) by 8 inches (0.20 m). The site was excavated in 1902 by Sabine Baring-Gould, and by Audrey Williams, for the Ancient Monuments Inspectorate, in 1943. The outcrop became the stronghold of a 6th-century CE Irish pirate named Boia, after whom (with clegyr (English: crag)) it is now called. Neolithic Evidence of Neolithic settlement in Wales is extremely uncommon. Megalithic burial chambers are normally the only Neolithic structures to survive. However, an excavation of the site by Sabine Baring-Gould, in 1903, showed the remains of rectangular and circular Neolithic dwellings. An associated midden has been dated to around 5500 years before present (BP), during the early to middle Neolithic. Sherds of Neolithic round-bottomed pottery, polished stone axes and animal bones were also discovered. Baring-Gould thought the pottery may have been wheel-turned. No hearths were found within the dwellings. However, "substantial" charcoal deposits were found on the site, indicating fire was used, and carefully managed. Samples from the area of Neolithic occupation (hut and midden), radiocarbon dated in 1973, indicated a date of around 2370 BP, the beginning of La Tène culture, at the early British Iron Age, but were considered unacceptable by the National Museum Wales. Iron Age The hill's steep sides were augmented by a single earthen rampart, to form a defensive structure known as a hillfort. The outcrop's southern part was further enclosed by stone walls, roughly rectangular, and measuring about 280 feet (85 m) by 100 feet (30 m). Built as a dry-stone wall, from stone rubble and earth, the ramparts stand about 2 feet 6 inches (1 m) above the enclosure floor. Revetted with stone blocks, the walls varied between 9 feet (2.7 m) and 15 feet (4.6 m) wide and were "faced externally with large slabs set on end". According to Baring-Gould, the enclosure's original surface was 2 feet 6 inches (1 m) below its 1903 level. The enclosure's entrance may have been through a tunnel. Radiocarbon dated samples from near the hillfort entrance indicate a date of around 1950 BP (1 BCE), the late Iron Age. References

The Barracks, Brecon

The Barracks, Watton is a military installation in Brecon in Wales. History The original barracks, which were constructed of red brick, were built at the Watton in 1805 and then extended in 1813. In 1873, as part of the Cardwell Reforms (which encouraged the localisation of British military forces), the barracks became the depot for the two battalions of the 24th (2nd Warwickshire) Regiment of Foot, which began recruiting throughout South Wales. In the mid-1870s, troops from the barracks were despatched to the Cape Colony. During January 1879, the 24th Regiment became famed for its role at two momentous battles of the Anglo-Zulu War – Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift. That same year, a keep, for the storage of arms and ammunition, was added to the barracks. Following the Childers Reforms, on 1 July 1881, the 24th Regiment was renamed the South Wales Borderers. The South Wales Borderers Museum, now the Regimental Museum of The Royal Welsh, opened at the barracks in 1935. The barracks were designated as a regional seat of government in the Cold War. Headquarters Wales was established at the barracks in 1972. In 1991, the first of the minor districts to be amalgamated were North West District, the former West Midlands District (by then Western District) and Wales, to form a new Wales and Western District. The enlarged district was disbanded on the formation of HQ Land Command in 1995. The barracks are now the home of 160th (Wales) Brigade. In November 2016 the Ministry of Defence announced that the site would close in 2027. This decision was later scrapped under the Future Soldier reforms. References Sources Tones, Theophilis (1909).

St Andrew’s Church (Penrice)

Die St Andrew’s Church ist eine kleine Kirche auf der Halbinsel Gower in Wales. Die als Kulturdenkmal der Kategorie Grade II* geschützte Kirche liegt am Nordrand des Dorfangers des kleinen Dorfes Penrice. Geschichte Die Kirche wurde im 12. Jahrhundert östlich eines normannischen Ringwalls errichtet. Im späten 12. Jahrhundert schenkte die Familie Penrice die Kirche der Johanniter-Kommende in Slebech. Später ging sie an das Hospital of St David in Swansea über. Der Turm, das nördliche Querhaus und die südliche Eingangshalle wurden vermutlich im 13. Jahrhundert angebaut, die ungewöhnlich große Vorhalle diente im Mittelalter vermutlich auch als Gemeindesaal und im 17. Jahrhundert als Schule. Nach Sturmschäden wurde die Kirche im 18. Jahrhundert mehrfach renoviert. Von 1892 bis 1894 wurde sie auf Veranlassung von Olive Talbot, einer Tochter von Christopher Rice Mansel Talbot, behutsam renoviert. Die Familie Talbot benutzte das nahe gelegene Penrice Castle als Landsitz. Bei der Renovierung wurde unter anderem das Dach erneuert, die Fenster vergrößert und ein neuer Fußboden eingebaut. Die Kirche gehört heute zur Parish of South West Gower, einer Pfarrgemeinde der Diözese Swansea und Brecon der Church in Wales. Außerhalb der Gottesdienste ist die Kirche in der Regel nicht zu besichtigen. Baubeschreibung Die Kirche liegt in einem ummauerten Kirchhof und ist von zahlreichen verwitterten Grabsteinen umgeben. Das Langhaus und der Chor der Kirche wurden im normannischen Stil errichtet, das Langhaus aus grauem Kalkstein, der Chor aus rotem Sandstein. Durch den Anbau des nördlichen Querhauses und der südlichen Vorhalle besitzt sie einen kreuzförmigen Grundriss, der Torbogen der Vorhalle ist bereits im gotischen Stil erbaut. Der viergeschossige Westturm ist von Zinnen gekrönt. Das nördliche Querhaus diente vermutlich als Privatkapelle der Familie Penrice bzw. ihrer Erben, der Familie Mansel. Zur Ausstattung der Kirche gehört ein mittelalterlicher Taufstein, der 1920 wieder in der Kirche aufgestellt wurde.

St Andrew's Church, Penrice

The Church of St Andrew, Penrice, Swansea, Wales dates from the 12th century. A Grade II* listed building, St Andrew's remains an active parish church in the parish of South-West Gower, in the Diocese of Swansea and Brecon. History and description The church is dedicated to St Andrew, and was begun in the early 12th century. Later in that century, it was gifted by the de Penrice family, who had gained lands in Gower during the Norman invasion of Wales, to the Order of Knights Hospitaller at Slebech. In the 19th century the church was restored by Elizabeth Talbot of Penrice Castle. The church remains an active parish church in the Diocese of Swansea and Brecon. The church is "large by Gower standards", and is constructed in a mix of local Red sandstone and limestone. Cruciform in plan, it comprises a tower, nave, chancel and two transepts. John Newman, in his Glamorgan volume of the Buildings of Wales Pevsner, describes these as the church's "most remarkable feature", noting their considerable width and depth. The porch transept was used for the conduct of parish business in the medieval period, and subsequently as a schoolroom. The church is a Grade II* listed building, its Cadw listing record describing it as "a conservatively restored medieval church of interesting form". In the churchyard stands the grave of Captain Sir Christopher Cole RN KCB, who married into the Talbot family. His monument is an early example of Celtic Revival sculpture, dating from 1836.

St Mary’s Church (Kidwelly)

Die St Mary’s Church ist eine anglikanische Pfarrkirche in Kidwelly im südwalisischen Carmarthenshire. Die als Kulturdenkmal der Kategorie Grade I geschützte ehemalige Prioratskirche gilt als größte Pfarrkirche von Südwestwales. Geschichte Bereits vor der normannischen Eroberung bestand an der Stelle der heutigen Kirche eine dem walisischen Bischof Cadog gewidmete Kirche. Zwischen 1107 und 1115 gründete Bischof Roger von Salisbury ein Benedektinerpriorat als Tochtergründung von Sherborne Abbey. Die Priorei, deren Gebäude vermutlich an der Westseite der Kirche lagen, blieb ein kleines und relativ armes Kloster, in dem 1377 nur ein Mönch lebte. Nach mehreren Zerstörungen durch Kriege und Belagerungen wurde die heutige Kirche um die Mitte des 14. Jahrhunderts errichtet. Die Kirche wurde mehrfach umgebaut, nach 1481 wurde das westliche Ende des Schiffs verkürzt. Während der Reformation wurde das Priorat 1539 aufgelöst, zu diesem Zeitpunkt lebten neben dem Prior zwei Mönche in dem Kloster. Das Kirchenpatronat ging an die englische Krone über, seitdem wird die Kirche als Anglikanische Pfarrkirche genutzt. 1854 untersuchte George Gilbert Scott die Bausubstanz der Kirche. Nach einer erneuten Beschädigung durch Blitzeinschlag wurde die Kirche von 1885 bis 1889 grundlegend restauriert. Heute gehört die Kirchengemeinde zur Church in Wales und ist der Diözese St Davids unterstellt. Baubeschreibung Die Kirche liegt in einem großen ummauerten Kirchhof im Zentrum von Kidwelly. Der dreigeschossige Turm befindet sich nördlich neben dem Schiff und besitzt einen für walisische Kirchen ungewöhnlichen spitzen steinernen Turmhelm. Die Kirchturmspitze wurde 1481, 1681, 1854 und 1884 durch Blitzeinschläge beschädigt. Die Kirche ist aus Bruchstein mit Fassungen aus Oolith und Old Red Sandstone im Decorated Style erbaut und mit einem Schieferdach gedeckt. An der Südseite befindet sich eine übergiebelte Vorhalle. Das einschiffige, vierjochige Langhaus und der dreijochige Chor waren ursprünglich verputzt, heute ist das Mauerwerk sichtbar. Die Kirche besitzt ein hölzernes Tonnengewölbe aus dem späten 19. Jahrhundert. Der nördliche Teil des niedrigen Querhauses dient als Marienkapelle, der südliche als Sakristei. Zur Ausstattung gehören mehrere Grabdenkmäler und -platten sowie ein 1658 gefertigter Taufstein. Die 1762 gebaute Orgel stammt ursprünglich aus der Kirche St Mary in Swansea und wurde 1907 nach Kidwelly gebracht.

St Mary's Church, Kidwelly

The Church of Saint Mary is a Grade I Listed Building in the town of Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire, Wales. The church was listed in December 1963 (Cadw Building ID: 11878). Founded c. 1114 the church was burnt down in 1223 and most of the existing building dates from c. 1320 when it was a Benedictine priory. It has been listed as the largest parish church in southwest Wales, exceptional for the broach spire and fine decorative 14th-century Gothic detail. History It is believed that prior to the Norman Conquest, St Mary's Church was originally made of wood and dedicated to St Cadog. In the early 12th century, it was granted by Roger, Bishop of Salisbury to the Benedictines to be used as a priory church. In 1223, the church burned down. This was believed to be done by supporters of Llywelyn ab Iorwerth due to the Benedictines closeness with the Anglo-Norman Marcher Lords. When it was rebuilt, it was enlarged and the Archbishop of Canterbury used it as a base from which to monitor all Welsh monasteries. However it was a poor priory with only one monk living there in 1377. This was despite there being a recorded annual tithe income of £12 6s 12d in 1291. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, ownership was transferred to King Henry VIII of England. From there, Henry leased it out for 21 years. The church underwent Victorian renovations between 1885 and 1889. During these renovations, a 1762 organ case originally from St Mary's Church, Swansea was installed in the church. The church was constructed with a spire that had been regularly struck by lightning throughout the centuries with four recorded lightning strikes, each one causing damage to the spire. The church was granted Grade I listed status in 1963. The reason for it being listed was given that it was the largest parish church in south-west Wales and due to its broach spire and gothic decor. In 2023, the church gave up some of its land in front of the church for redevelopment of Kidwelly town square. Architecture St Mary’s is an aisle-less cruciform church rebuilt c. 1320 in the Decorated Gothic style. It is constructed of rubble stone with Old Red Sandstone and oolitic limestone dressings, and comprises a four-bay nave, a three-bay chancel, a south porch, a three-storey north-west tower, and a tall octagonal broach spire. Cadw calls it “the largest parish church in south-west Wales”, praising the spire and its “fine Decorated detail”. References External links Artwork at Church of Saint Mary, Kidwelly

St Nicholas Church (Nicholaston)

Die St Nicholas Church ist eine kleine Kapelle auf der Halbinsel Gower in Wales. Die als Kulturdenkmal der Kategorie Grade II* geschützte Kirche gilt als Meisterwerk der Neugotik. Lage Die kleine Kirche steht in einem ummauerten Kirchhof südlich der Straße zwischen Penmaen und Penrice im kleinen Weiler Nicholaston. Von der auf einer Klippe gelegenen Kirche hat man einen weiten Blick über die Oxwich Bay. Geschichte Eine ältere Kirche lag südlich des heutigen Standorts näher am Meer. Im 13. oder 14. Jahrhundert wurde am jetzigen Standort eine kleine, schlichte Kirche errichtet. Von 1892 bis 1894 wurde auf Veranlassung von Olive Talbot, einer Tochter von Christopher Rice Mansel Talbot, die heutige Kirche auf den alten Grundmauern neu errichtet. Der Bau wurde zwar als Rekonstruktion der alten Kirche bezeichnet, wurde jedoch wesentlich aufwändiger ausgeführt und innen reich verziert. Die Familie Talbot hatte im nahe gelegenen Penrice Castle einen Landsitz, die Auftraggeberin starb jedoch kurz vor der Vollendung des Baus. Die Entwürfe für den £ 2000 teuren Bau fertigte G.E. Halliday, die Bauausführung übernahm William Clarke aus Llandaff. Die Kirche gehört heute zusammen mit den Kirchen St Illtyd in Ilston, St John Baptist in Penmaen und St Mary in Pennard zur Parish of Three Cliffs, einer Pfarrei der Diözese Swansea und Brecon der Church in Wales. Auf Anfrage ist die Kirche von innen zu besichtigen. Baubeschreibung Die kleine Kirche wurde im Stil der Early English Period mit aufwändigen Verzierungen und Details errichtet. Teile des alten Mauerwerks wurden unter anderem im Chorbogen wieder verwendet. Die Kirche besitzt ein einschiffiges Langhaus mit einem schmaleren und niedrigeren Ostchor, einer südlichen Eingangsvorhalle mit einem reich verzierten Portal und einer Sakristei im Nordwesten des Gebäudes. Die Außenmauern sind aus unregelmäßigem Sandstein mit grau-grünen Steineinfassungen, das Dach ist mit Schiefer gedeckt. Am Westende des Daches befindet sich ein kleiner Dachreiter mit einer 1516 vermutlich in den Niederlanden gegossenen Glocke. Die Ausstattung der Kirche erfolgte im spätviktorianischen Stil mit zahlreichen Schnitzereien und Steinmetzarbeiten. Die Wände sind hell verputzt, das Gewölbe ist aus Eichenholz. Der romanische Taufstein stammt vermutlich noch aus der ersten Kirche, das Altarretabel aus Alabaster ist besonders reich verziert. Die schmalen Lanzettfenster besitzen um 1894 gefertigte Buntglasfenster. An der Nordseite des Langhauses befindet sich eine Gedenktafel für Olive Talbot. Die Steinkiste von Nicholaston liegt nordwestlich der St Nicholas Church. Weblinks Internetpräsenz der Pfarrgemeinde The Gower: St. Nicholas Church, Nicholaston Einzelnachweise
