The White Swan Inn, Monmouth

The White Swan Inn, White Swan Court, Church Street, Monmouth, Monmouthshire, south-east Wales, is an eighteenth-century former coaching inn. The building is Grade II* listed as of 27 June 1952. It is one of 24 buildings on the Monmouth Heritage Trail. History The building is of three storeys, with a prominent bay window on the ground floor, and faced with white stucco which dates from the early nineteenth century. There was an earlier inn, the Swan and Falcon, on this site from at least 1709, but by 1774 it was known as the White Swan. The inn, and surrounding court, were rebuilt in 1839, following the redevelopment of Priory Street, a reconstruction to which the prolific Monmouth architect George Vaughan Maddox contributed. It had a coach entrance from Priory Street when the new by-pass was built, and this archway provides one entrance to what is now White Swan Court, with the other entrance from narrow Church Street. The name probably refers to Mary de Bohun, who gave birth to Henry V in Monmouth Castle – the heraldic badge of the Bohun family was the Bohun swan, a swan collared and chained. The White Swan was appropriated for a billet by a Troop of the 12th Lancers when the Chartist Trials took place in the Shire Hall in 1840. This event caused great consternation amongst the "respectable folk" of the town who feared a revolution and thought that the Lancers were there to protect them. The hotel continued until the late 1950s, and its lead sign of a swan was still displayed here until stolen some years ago. Now the courtyard provides for a pleasant collection of shops, a coffee house and a cafe bistro. In Church Street, the rather irregular bow window to the chemists by the entrance to White Swan Court, which the poet laureate John Betjeman said "must never be demolished". Notes
The White Swan Inn

A The White Swan Inn vagy más néven White Swan Court a walesi Monmouth egykori fogadója. Az épület II*. kategóriás brit műemlék (British Listed Building) 1952. június 27. óta. Egyike a monmouthi örökség tanösvény huszonnégy állomásának. Története Az épület háromszintes. Jellegzetessége a földszint kiugró ablakfülkéje. Ezen a telken már a 18. század előtt egy fogadó állt, amelyik a Swan and Falcon nevet viselte. A fogadó 1709 és 1774 között White Swan néven működött. 1839-ben, a Priory Street kialakításával egyidőben, az épületet és a hozzá tartozó udvart is teljesen átépítették. Az új tervek készítésében George Vaughan Maddox helyi építész is közreműködött. Az udvar Priory Streetre néző végében alakították ki az új kocsibejárót, ugyanis ez az utca vette át a fő közlekedési útvonal szerepét a Church Streettől. A fogadó nevét valószínűleg Mary de Bohunról, V. Henrik angol király anyjáról kapta, aki Monmouth várában szülte meg fiát és akinek címerét egy láncravert hattyú (angolul: swan) díszítette. Mivel egy esetleges forradalom kirobbanásától tartottak, 1840-ben a chartista vezetők tárgyalásának idejére itt szállásolták el a város biztonságát felügyelő szuronyosokat. A fogadó az 1950-es évekig működött szállodaként. Udvarát és földszintjét ma kis üzletek és kávéházak foglallják el. Források

Monmouth Cemetery

Monmouth Cemetery is a cemetery situated on Osbaston Road in Monmouth, Wales. It was open for burials from 1852 until 2012. History Monmouth Cemetery was opened on 1 December 1851. The ground was consecrated on 23 June 1852 by the Bishop of Llandaff, together with the vicar of Monmouth, the Reverend E. F. Arney. The first burial took place on 25 June 1852. The first cremated ashes to be interred, in February 1930, were those of the Reverend Kean Mottram Pitt, who had died aged 70 on the Isle of Wight; they were placed in the grave of his parents. The cemetery was established after Monmouth Council resolved to close St Mary's Churchyard to further burials, on the grounds that decaying human remains were emerging above the surface. This had been caused by the raised level of the churchyard. Residents of neighbouring Whitecross Street suffered a high mortality rate as a consequence, and unpleasant odours from the churchyard were also evident. Henry Somerset, 7th Duke of Beaufort, sold the land to the council for use as the new cemetery. The cemetery has been enlarged several times and now covers approximately 7 acres (2.8 ha). Monmouth Union Workhouse (opened 1870) and Haberdashers' Monmouth School for Girls (1897) stand nearby. Owing to its proximity to the workhouse, an area of the cemetery, now used for cremated remains, was set aside for the burial of paupers. These paupers' graves are mostly unmarked; however, in 1909 a hooded wooden cross was set in a stone base and unveiled. It bears a Latin inscription, Ave Crux Spes Unica, meaning "Hail, O Cross, Our Only Hope". The site is now owned and maintained by Monmouthshire County Council. There is a small former chapel of rest at the cemetery, designed by the Reverend M. Wyatt and built by Charles Jackson in 1851. It was closed to the public around 1969, but was restored in 2010 and, following a celebratory opening on 26 June of that year, now serves as a genealogy centre. The cemetery is accessible at all times, with open access and parking. Its hillside position means that some of its paths are rather steep. In 2012, the cemetery was closed to new burials owing to a lack of space. Facilities Three water points, situated at intervals along the path network Limited parking at the chapel, midway up the cemetery, and at the top Notable interments William Wilson Allen VC (1843–1890), veteran of the Battle of Rorke's Drift; died of influenza on 12 March 1890 Mary Ellen Bagnall Oakeley (1834–1904), local artist and antiquarian Dr Alfred Edwin Monahan (1877–1945), third Bishop of Monmouth; died 10 August 1945 The Commonwealth War Graves Commission maintains and registers the war graves of eight British service personnel of the First World War (seven of whom were soldiers of the Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers) and six of the Second World War.

Monmouth Comprehensive School

Monmouth Comprehensive School (Welsh: Ysgol Gyfun Trefynwy) is a comprehensive secondary school for pupils aged 11–18, situated in Monmouth, Monmouthshire, Wales. History The school was established in 1903 when it was known as William Jones Elementary School. This sandstone building is at the west end of the site and was built for the Haberdashers Company. This was probably designed by Henry Stock. New buildings were built at the end of the war in what has been described as an undemonstrative style. In September 1947 it became the Monmouth Secondary Modern School, before changing to its current name in September 1977. At that time further classroom blocks were built at the north east end of the site. The school has Monmouth Leisure Centre in its grounds. Welsh The school teaches Welsh as the subject has been compulsory in Wales since the Welsh Language Act of 1993. However, in 2009 there were still students being sent to John Kyrle High School in Ross-on-Wye, England where the Act does not apply. At the same time another bus brought children from Ross to the school where they would learn Welsh. Previous headteachers 1903 (1903): J.D. Gregory (Master) 1906 (1906): R.

Morfa Harlech National Nature Reserve

Morfa Harlech National Nature Reserve (grid reference SH571337) is a nature reserve in Wales, located north of Harlech. The reserve reaches across expanses of open sand and sea towards Snowdonia and contains one of the two extensive sand dune systems which make up much of the sandy Meirionnydd coastline, it carries particular importance as the only growing dune system in Wales. Morfa Harlech sand dunes is an extensive dune system stretching northwards from the town of Harlech. The dunes cover 6 km2, of which an area of about 1.5 km2 in the middle has been afforested with Corsican Pine. Nearby is Harlech Castle, which due to the expanding dune system has been taken back 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) from its original position on the coastline 600 years ago. Morfa Harlech is one of Britain's actively growing sand dune systems due to the longshore drift which is currently eroding the dunes at Morfa Dyffryn.

Morlais Castle

Morlais Castle er en middelalderborg fra 1200-tallet, som ligger over kløften Taff Gorge nær byen Merthyr Tydfil i Wales. Opførelsen af borgen blev igangsat af Gilbert de Clare, 3. jarl af Gloucester på jord ejet af Humphrey de Bohun, 3. jarl af Hereford. Der udbrød krig mellem jarlerne i 1290, og kong Edvard 1. af England gav dem bøder efter han havde marcheret sydpå for at gribe ind fra North Wales. Borgen blev erobret af Madog ap Llywelyn i 1294. Man mener, at borgen aldrig blev helt færdiggjort, og stedet var for øde og udsat til at fungere som bolig. Samuel og Nathaniel Bucks stik fra 1741 viser, at murruinerne stadig var høje.

Morlais Castle

Morlais Castle ist eine Burgruine in Großbritannien. Die einst stark befestigte Burg liegt innerhalb eines eisenzeitlichen Hillforts auf einem Bergkamm aus Kalkstein über den Tälern von Taff Gorge und Merthyr Tydfil in Wales. Geschichte Nach der Eroberung von Wales durch König Eduard I. begann Gilbert de Clare, Lord of Glamorgan, um 1287 mit dem Bau der Burg, mit der er seine Herrschaft im Norden Glamorgans sichern wollte. Die Region wurde jedoch auch von Humphrey de Bohun, 3. Earl of Hereford, beansprucht, worauf es zu einem erbitterten Streit zwischen den beiden Magnaten kam. 1289 untersagte der Regent Edmund of Cornwall Clare den Weiterbau der Burg. Der Konflikt weitete sich jedoch zu einer gewalttätigen Fehde aus. Nach der Rückkehr von König Eduard I. aus Frankreich wandte sich Bohun direkt an den König, der daraufhin Anfang 1292 beide Magnaten schwer bestrafte. Während des walisischen Aufstands von 1294 bis 1295 wurde die Burg 1294 von den Rebellen unter Morgan ap Maredudd erobert. Nach der Niederschlagung der Rebellion stellte der König Glamorgan unter königliche Verwaltung und besuchte am 15. oder 16. Juni 1295 Morlais. Im Oktober 1295 erhielt Clare Glamorgan zurück, doch nach seinem Tod sechs Wochen später wurde die abgelegene Burg offenbar nie wiederaufgebaut bzw. vollendet. Vermutlich wurde sie wenig später aufgegeben und zerfiel. Nach einer Darstellung von 1741 waren zu der Zeit noch größere Mauerreste vorhanden. Die frei zugänglichen Reste der Burg sind seit 1982 als Scheduled Monument geschützt. Anlage Von der Burg sind nur noch wenige Mauerreste erhalten. Sie bestand aus einer dreieckigen Kernburg und einer nach Süden vorgelagerten, länglichen und unregelmäßig angelegten Vorburg. Die Kernburg war gegenüber der Vorburg etwa 60 m breit, an den beiden anderen Seiten war sie etwa 45 m lang. An der Nordecke befand sich ein runder Keep, der etwa 17 m Durchmesser hatte. An der Südseite befanden sich zur Vorburg hin zwei Türme mit D-förmigen Grundriss, zwischen denen sich das nicht besonders befestigte Tor befand. Das etwa 25 m lange Hauptwohngebäude befand sich an der Westseite der Kernburg. Die Vorburg war durch drei weitere Türme an der Ost- und Südseite gesichert, während das Gelände im Westen steil abfiel. Der südöstliche Turm war dabei wie ein zweiter Keep ausgebaut. Von ihm ist noch das Erdgeschoss erhalten, dessen Gewölbe von einer Mittelsäule getragen wird. Der Zugang zur Vorburg erfolgte über einen Graben durch ein Tor an der Ostseite, das durch den angrenzenden südöstlichen Turm der Kernburg gesichert war. Innerhalb der Vorburg befand sich an der Ostmauer ein etwa 20 m langes Gebäude, ein weiteres Gebäude befand sich an der Westseite. Im Norden der Vorburg befindet sich ein tiefer Schacht, der wohl als Zisterne diente.

Morlais Castle

Morlais Castle is a 13th-century castle located above the Taff Gorge near the town of Merthyr Tydfil in Wales. History Building of the castle was first begun by Gilbert de Clare, 3rd Earl of Gloucester on land claimed by Humphrey de Bohun, 3rd Earl of Hereford. Warfare broke out between the Earls in 1290 and they were severely admonished and fined by King Edward I of England, who had to march down from North Wales to intervene. The castle was captured by Madog ap Llywelyn in 1294. The castle is believed to have never been fully completed, and the location was too remote and exposed to serve as a residence. The Bucks' engraving of 1741, however, shows that fragments of the walls then still stood high. Description The castle comprised a triangular inner ward with sides about 45m long and an inner bailey 60m wide. The inner ward had a round keep 17m in diameter at the north corner, a D-shaped tower with a staircase on the north side at the SE corner, and a similar tower projected from the south wall. Between the latter two was the gateway. On the west side was a freestanding building about 25m long. It was joined to the south tower by an almost square building. In front of the south tower is a deep pit, presumably the cistern. The outer ward has no towers on the west side, but there is a D-shaped tower at the south-east corner. The latter has a rib-vaulted basement with a central pier and a sharply pointed doorway. Against the east curtain was a large and thickly walled building over 20m long, and on the west is a smaller building. Little remains today, though, with only one room still intact in what would have been the bottom of the main keep, and small walls around the castle give us an idea of where it once stood. The moat stretches around most of the castle, although one side has vanished; this may be because of the lime quarry located there. The 18-hole Morlais Castle golf course is located to one side of the castle.
