St Mary's Church, Beddgelert

The Priory and Parish Church of Saint Mary is in Beddgelert, in the Snowdonia area of Gwynedd, Wales. It is a Grade II* listed building, on the site of one of the oldest Christian establishments in Wales. An early Christian community was established there in the 6th century AD which is mentioned by Gerald of Wales. An Augustinian priory was founded there in the 13th century, and in the Middle Ages it grew substantially thanks to the support of important Welsh nobles including Prince Llewelyn. The priory and many of its records were destroyed in 1283 or 1284 by a fire. As of the early 16th century it was Sir John Wynn (ancestor of the Barons Newborough) who owned the priory in addition to Bardsey Island. In the 16th century, as part of the dissolution of the monasteries, the priory was closed in October 1535 and became a simple parish church. It is still in use in this capacity, with most services being bilingual. Remnants of the church's medieval past include transept arches and some of the stonework around the lancet windows. The Victorian era brought further modifications including the demolition of the north aisle and some new stained glass. The existing glass is dated only to the 19th and 20th centuries and includes work by Dunstan Powell (1920) and Trena Cox (1968). In May 2026, the church was voted by Reddit users as "the best place on Earth" after 29 rounds. Reverend Kim Williams expressed surprise at the result, stating, "I might be biased saying this, but it definitely deserved to win". People The church is associated with Saint Gelert or Celer, who may have been the founder of the original church. The harpist and wrestler Marged ferch Ifan (1696-1793) was baptised here in 1696 and married in 1717. References External links Media related to St Mary's Church, Beddgelert at Wikimedia Commons
Holywell Golf Club

Holywell Golf Club (Welsh: Clwb Golff Treffynnon) is a golf club, situated a mile southwest of the town of Holywell, Flintshire, Wales. Instituted in 1906, it is an 18-hole moorland and parkland course and is approximately 800 feet above sea level. In 2001 the club nearly faced bankruptcy due to problems with Foot-and-mouth disease from roaming sheep. Ancient site Two Bronze Age round barrows known as Clwt Militia (Militia Patch) are located on the course, about 0.65 miles (1 km) north-northwest of the church.

Lammas Ecovillage

Lammas Ecovillage (Welsh: Tir-y-Gafel) is a low-impact, off-grid ecovillage in Glandwr, near Crymych in Pembrokeshire, West Wales, comprising nine households and a community hub on a 76 acres (31 ha) site. Buildings are constructed of natural materials and energy obtained from renewable sources. Planning permission took some years to obtain, but has established a replicable template for similar future developments in Wales. Development The project was the first ecovillage in the UK to attain prospective planning permission, and this was achieved in 2009 after a three-year planning campaign culminating in a public hearing. The project had applied under an innovative local planning policy designed to support low-impact development. The policy required residents to live a sustainable lifestyle and substantially support themselves from land-based livelihood. Concept The ecovillage is centered on a Community Hub, from which courses, conferences and open days are run. It was constructed using local timber, straw bale insulation and locally sourced aggregate as well as incorporating various green technologies (such as a masonry stove, passive solar heating and a wood-fired kitchen). Funding for the Community Hub came from the Department of Energy and Climate Change. The project has been designed as a replicable template - with each household purchasing a 1000-year agricultural lease from the organisation which provides them with autonomy and security. Each household has access to approximately 7 acres (2.8 ha) of land from which they derive food, fuel and income. One resident utilises permaculture techniques for managing the land, and electricity is generated by solar panels and a micro hydro turbine. The nine smallholdings demonstrate a range of natural building techniques though there have been challenges over compliance with building regulations which led to some of the residents being taken to court by Pembrokeshire County Council. These issues have since been resolved. The site is listed by RCAHMW and featured on Channel 4's Grand Designs, Series 17, Episode 6 in 2016. Post-establishment Since Lammas, the Welsh Government introduced a national low-impact policy, "One Planet Development", which creates a framework for land-based smallholdings and ecovillage projects to be established in Wales. One house, built at a cost of £27,000 over several years, was destroyed by fire in January 2018, with a total re-build estimate of £500,000. The house was not insured as construction had not been completed.

Seion Chapel, Cwmaman

Seion, Cwmaman is a Welsh Baptist church, originally established in 1859. The chapel closed in 2013 but the church still meets at another location in the village. Early history The church dates from the early days of Cwmaman as a mining community. The first prayer meetings are said to have been held at the house of a John Weeks in Fforchaman Road and were mainly attended by members of Gwawr, Aberaman. The chapel was built in 1858–9, largely by the members themselves, and cost £300. It was rebuilt in 1870 at a cost of £425 and again in 1891 at a cost of £1,787. The first ministers were Ebenezer Morgan (1859–64) and T. T. Davies (1864–66). The Pastorate of Thomas Humphreys In 1868 Thomas Humphreys became the minister, and served until 1910. He baptised 1,700 members during his 42-year tenure and died in 1911. Humphreys was a founder member of Aberdare Urban District Council and a trustee of Cwmaman Public Hall. The 1904-05 revival had a profound impact at Seion, with many attenders who had been present as listeners for decades becoming full members of the church., Humphreys was succeeded by W.R. Lewis, who remained until 1914 when he moved to Hill Park Chapel, Haverfordwest. The Pastorate of S.J. Leeke On 14 February 1916, S. J. Leeke was ordained minister of Seion. Leeke was a native of Talybont, Cardiganshire and trained for the ministry at the South Wales Baptist College, Cardiff. He began his ministry at the Public Hall after the chapel was severely damaged by a storm in January of that year. Later history After S.J. Leeke departed for Brynamman in 1925, Seion was without a minister for four years. D. Myrddin Davies commenced his ministry in 1929 and remained for seven years before moving to Bethel, Aberystwyth. T. Jones-Evans was minister from 1927 until 1943, when he moved to Calfaria, Login, in Carmarthenshire. Harding G. Rees served from 1944 to 1955 and was succeeded by Garfield Eynon in 1956. During Eynon's ministry the church celebrated its centenary. Eynon moved to Ebenezer, Ammanford in 1962. John Lewis was minister during the 1970s but moved to Drefach (Carmarthenshire) in 1978. The last minister at Seion was Gwilym Davies, who was inducted as minister of Seion together with Hengoed, Bryn Seion (Ystrad Mynach) and Noddfa (Ynysybwl) in 1986. Seion remained an active church until the early 21st century. References Bibliography Jones, Alan Vernon (2004). Chapels of the Cynon Valley. Cynon Valley Historical Society. ISBN 0953107612.

Ty Coch Cruck Barn, Llangynhafal, Denbighshire

The Cruck barn on the Ty Coch estate at Llangynhafal, Denbighshire, is a timber framed building, which has been dated by dendrochronology to 1430. It is one of the earliest timber-framed buildings in Wales. Although there is evidence that the building was a house originally, it was converted to agricultural use and is often described as a barn. The significance of the barn was recognised by Cadw in 2002 when it was listed as a Grade II listed building. Previously the building had been thought to be 17th century. It has recently been restored by the Denbighshire County Council, with European and other grant funding, as part of a small workshop complex. Description It is a 5-bay cruck structure. The building was originally a house consisting of an inner room (one bay), a hall with passage (2 bays), and a cow house (2 bays). The end gables were replaced in stone, probably in the 18th century with side walls that are 3-panel high timber-framing, infilled originally with brick nogging, resting on a plinth of rubble stonework. To the north side the timber-framing is largely intact, but to the south, much of the timber-framing has had to be replaced. Timbers at the upper end show signs of smoke blackening, indicating that it was formerly a house. Mortices survive for wind-braces – two to each bay. The matching ‘blades’ of each cruck truss are sawn on only one surface, with the other surface curved. This is a result of the vertical separation of the matching curved branch that formed the cruck, after being cut from a tree.. Literature Alcock N W Cruck Construction: An introduction and catalogue.

Manor House Wildlife Park

Manor House Wildlife Park is a 52-acre (21 ha) zoo located in Pembrokeshire, Wales, just north of the village of St Florence. It was bought in 2008 by television presenter Anna Ryder Richardson and Colin MacDougall and is more recently known as Manor Wildlife Park. Animal exhibits Large animals include Southern white rhinos, oryxes, Damara zebras, tapirs, camels, llamas and Sumatran tigers; there are also smaller wild animals such as red pandas, meerkats, wallabies and three species of lemur (Black-and-white ruffed, Red-bellied and Ring-tailed), and a variety of birds, principally ostriches, emus, rheas and guinea fowl. Endangered species As well as the endangered Sumatran tigers, Siamang gibbons and Ring-tailed lemurs, the park is home to the white rhino "Zamba", one of three Southern white rhinos at the park, and the first to be bred from artificial insemination in the UK. Red ruffed lemurs are also critically endangered, according to IUCN, and are part of the zoo's collection. In 2015, the park learned that they had been allocated a pair of critically endangered Sumatran tigers to support the European Endangered Species Programme. In 2018, the park welcomed two endangered red panda sisters from Odense Zoo in Denmark, they now live in their own little forest in the heart of the park. History In 2002 the park was called Manor House Wild Animal Park and included a museum, souvenir shop and restaurant as well as animal exhibits. TV presenter and property developer Anna Ryder Richardson and her then husband Colin MacDougall took over the zoo in 2008. In March 2012, it was announced that Richardson and her husband were to be prosecuted over alleged breaches of health and safety legislation after a mother and child were injured by a falling branch. Subsequently, charges against Richardson were dropped but her husband and the zoo pleaded guilty to four charges and were fined a total of £74,000, plus costs. Cultural references In television Anna Ryder Richardson made a video diary of the redevelopment of the zoo which became the TV film Chaos at the Zoo, narrated by Ruth Jones. Among the animals featured was a pair of endangered Siamang gibbons. References External links Official Website Pembrokeshire County Council - Visit Pembrokeshire - Manor House Wildlife Park
Pedrera Penrhyn

La pedrera Penrhyn és una pedrera de pissarra situada a prop de Bethesda, al nord de Gal·les, Regne Unit. Història A finals del segle xix va ser la major pedrera de pissarra del món, el seu pou principal és de pràcticament 1,6 km de llargària i 370 m de profunditat treballant-se per uns 3000 pedrers aproximadament. Des de llavors ha estat substituïda en dimensió per les pedreres de pissarra de la Xina, Espanya i els Estats Units. Penrhyn és encara, actualment, la pedrera més gran de pissarra de Gran Bretanya. La pedrera fou desenvolupada per primera vegada a la dècada de 1770 per Richard Pennant, després primer baró de Penrhyn, tot i que és probable que l'extracció de pissarra a petita escala al lloc va començar molt més aviat. Gran part d'aquests primers treballs van ser per a ús domèstic. Els treballs a gran escala no es varen desenvolupar fins al desenvolupament de Pennant. A partir de llavors, les pissarres de la pedrera foren transportades al mar cap al port Penrhyn des de la via ferroviària construïda en 1798, una de les línies ferroviàries més antigues.Al segle xix la pedrera Penrhyn, juntament amb la pedrera Dinorwic, van dominar la indústria de la pissarra gal·lesa. La pedrera té un lloc significatiu a la història del moviment obrer britànic com el lloc a on es varen efectuar dues prolongades vagues de treballadors exigint millors salaris i millors condicions de seguretat. La primera vaga va durar onze mesos l'any 1896. La segona, es va iniciar el 22 de novembre de 1900 i va durar tres anys. Conegut com El Gran Cop de Penrhyn aquesta vaga fou la disputa més llarga en la història industrial britànica. Des de 1964 fins a 2007 fou propietat i és dirigida per Alfred McAlpine PLC. En 2007, la pedrera fou adquirida per Kevin Lagan qui va canviar el seu nom a Welsh Slate Ltd. Kevin Lagan i el seu fill Peter (MD de Lagan Building Solutions Ltd.) són ara els directors de Welsh Slate Ltd. que també abasta la pedrera Oakeley en Blaenau Ffestiniog, la pedrera Cwt Y Bugail i la pedrera Pen Yr Orsedd.

Břidlicový důl Penrhyn

Břidlicový důl Penrhyn se nachází v blízkosti obce Bethesda v severním Walesu. Koncem devatenáctého století šlo o největší břidlicový důl na světě. Hlavní jáma je téměř 1,6 km dlouhá a 370 m hluboká; v době největší slávy zde pracovalo více než 3000 zaměstnanců. Později byly otevřeny větší doly v Číně, Španělsku a Spojených státech amerických. Penrhyn je dodnes největším britským břidlicovým dolem, ale pracuje zde již jen kolem dvou set zaměstnanců. Historie Historie dolu Penrhyn sahá do sedmdesátých let osmnáctého století, kdy jej založil Richard Pennant, pozdější baron Penrhynský. Je však pravděpodobné, že se zde břidlice začala těžit již mnohem dříve, ale pouze v malém množství. Zpočátku šlo pouze o důl pro nedaleké okolí, neboť zde nebyla vyvinuta dopravní infrastruktura; to se změnilo až zavedením železnice. Když byla v roce 1798 vystavěna železnice, začala se břidlice dovážet do přístavu Port Penrhyn nedaleko Bangoru. V devatenáctém století se důl Penrhyn spolu s dolem Dinorwic stal dominantním v celém velšském břidlicovém průmyslu.Důl Penrhyn byl významným místem v dějinách britského dělnického hnutí, kdy místní zaměstnanci požadovali lepší plat a bezpečnější pracovní podmínky. Vůbec první zdejší stávka trvala celých jedenáct měsíců proběhla v roce 1896. Druhá nastala dne 22. listopadu 1900 a trvala tři roky. Šlo o vůbec nejdelší spor v historii britského průmyslu. V letech 1964 až 2007 důl vlastnila společnost Alfred McAlpine, která mj. dodávala břidlicovou krytinu pro Buckinghamský palác. V roce 2007 důl koupil za 31 miliónů liber irský podnikatel Kevin Lagan, majitel společnosti Lagan Group. Důl se tak stal součástí Laganovy Welsh Slate Ltd., do níž kromě dolu u Bethesdy náležejí ještě velšské břidlicové doly Oakeley v Blaenau Ffestiniog, dále Cwt-y-Bugail a Pen-yr-Orsedd.

Penrhyn-Steinbruch

Der Penrhyn-Steinbruch (Penrhyn Slate Quarry) ist ein großer Steinbruch in der Nähe von Bethesda in Wales. Der Steinbruch gilt als die größte Schieferabbaustätte der Welt und war wie der Dinorwic-Steinbruch während der Blütezeit der Schieferindustrie in Wales von großer wirtschaftlicher Bedeutung für diese Region. Der Steinbruch wurde 1770 von Richard Pennant eingerichtet. Es ist aber wahrscheinlich, dass hier schon vorher in kleinem Maßstab Schiefer gewonnen wurde. Die produzierten Schieferschindeln wurden mit einer eigenen Schmalspurbahn, der bereits 1798 eingerichteten Penrhyn Quarry Railway, in die Küstenstadt Port Penrhyn transportiert. Die Eisenbahn gilt als eine der ältesten der Welt. Der Penrhyn-Steinbruch hat außerdem einen wichtigen Platz in der Geschichte der britischen Arbeiterbewegung. Zweimal fanden hier lange Streiks der Arbeiter statt, die damit eine bessere Entlohnung und sicherere Arbeitsbedingungen durchsetzen wollten. Der erste Streik, der im Jahr 1896 begann, währte elf Monate. Der zweite Streik begann am 22. November 1900 und dauerte drei Jahre an. Schiefer wird im Penrhyn-Steinbruch auch heute noch abgebaut und zu Dachschindeln verarbeitet. Der Abbau erreicht jedoch nicht mehr den Umfang, den er während des 19. Jahrhunderts hatte. Im Jahre 2007 kaufte die Welsh Slate Limited den Steinbruch von der Alfred McAlpine Slate Limited für 31 Millionen £. Einzelnachweise
