Монмутский монастырь

Монмутский монастырь (англ. Monmouth Priory) — здание в Монмуте, которое включает в себя остатки монастырских построек, переданных Монастырской церкви святой Марии. Монастырь принадлежал бенедиктинцам и был основан в 1075 году владельцем Монмута Вихеноком. Средневековое здание частично сохранилось. В XIX веке здание было сильно перестроено для использования в качестве школы, и сейчас используется как общинный центр. 27 июня 1952 года комплекс был занесён в список культурного наследия уровня II; монастырь является одним из 24 пунктов Тропы культурного наследия Монмута. Монастырь был основан Визеноком (Withenoc), бретонцем, ставшим правителем Монмута в 1075 году. В книге Лландафа существует доказательство существования здесь более ранней кельтской церкви VIII века. К XII веку монастырская церковь стала общинной. Сам монастырь был распущен в 1536 году.

Stryt Las Park

Stryt Las Park (Welsh: Parc Stryt Las; sometimes spelled Stryd Las) is a park situated between Johnstown and Rhosllanerchrugog, in Wrexham County Borough, Wales. It is named after Stryt Las (lit. transl. Blue Street), the street which borders the park to its south. The park is situated on a former colliery and landfill site. Description The park lies between Rhosllanerchrugog to its west and Johnstown to its east. It is situated on a former colliery and landfill site. The park contains areas of grasslands and woodlands, but is in a predominately wetland area, with a large pond and three smaller ponds. Stryt Las has a large pond, formerly an old clay pit. The large pond is drained annually as part of conservation efforts and a general clean up. During the process, the lake bed is extensively cleaned, litter is removed, and fish netted by Natural Resources Wales are relocated to other ponds or lakes in need of restocking. The removal of fish from the pond is necessary to prevent a decline in the great crested newt's population, a rare amphibian present in the park. In 2021, following a conservation project which created a new "secret garden" with new ponds, the nature conservation charity Wild Ground called on local children to produce artwork to be displayed at the park. Biodiversity The park is within the Johnstown Special Area of Conservation along with Bonc yr Hafod Country Park, due to the local presence of the rare great crested newts, present at the park's pond. The populations are one of the largest known breeding populations of the great crested newt in Great Britain. Other notable amphibians include: various frogs, toads, smooth newts and palmate newts. Butterflies in the park include: Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta), Small skipper, Green-veined white and the Comma Butterfly. Whereas birds such as bullfinches, redwings, swallows, house martins, snipes, mute swans, great tits, goldfinches, magpies, chaffinches, and water rails are also present in the park. The park is part of the Stryt Las a'r Hafod Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). A wildfowl population, such as ducks and swans (mute swans), have been recorded in the large pond, with the park also having managing issues with crassula, in particular the invasive species crassula helmsii which can destroy life in the ponds.

Cae Llwyd Reservoir

Cae Llwyd is a reservoir located between Llwyneinion and the Ruabon Moors in Wrexham County Borough, Wales. Description The reservoir is an impounded lake holding raw water. It is dammed with a soil embankment consisting of a puddle clay core. It rises up to 15 metres (49 ft), holds a total water capacity of 177,000 m3 (39,000,000 imp gal). The contract to build the reservoir was signed in 1875, with a cost of 605565. The plans are described to be "commendably brief", only containing seven items. One of the drawings was later found in 1984 to have been drawn on the back of a print for various Mersey crossing proposals including a suspension bridge and two tunnels. The reservoir was constructed in 1878 by the Wrexham Waterworks Company, it is operated by Hafren Dyfrdwy on behalf of Severn Trent. The reservoir is part of the Ty Mawr/Cae Llwyd/Pen-y-Cae Reservoir System, one of the two reservoir systems by Hafren Dyfrdwy to supply the Wrexham Resource Zone. There is a Scouting site located next to the reservoir. See also List of lakes of Wales References

Conwy Golf Club

Conwy Golf Club in Conwy, Wales was officially opened as Caernarfonshire Golf Club in 1890. The links course on the Morfa Conwy peninsula was designed by Jack Morris (nephew of Old Tom Morris). The championship course is 6,910 yards (6,320 m) long with a par of 72. History In 1869 a nine-hole course was set out by three Scottish gentlemen, which lays its claim to being the first golf course in Wales. A new nine hole course was laid out in 1875, when members of the Royal Liverpool Golf Club commissioned its design by their club professional, Jack Morris. Caernarfonshire Golf Club was formally established at Conwy Guildhall on 30 June 1890. In 1895 the course was extended to 18 holes and the club was a founding member of the Welsh Golfing Union. In 1899 the Welsh Amateur Golf Championships were held at the course, followed by the Welsh Professional Championship in 1905. The present clubhouse was built and opened on 1 June 1996, replacing the one built in 1934, which had become dilapidated. The original clubhouse from 1890 was a donated military mess hut from a nearby army camp. That was replaced in the early 1920s but that was destroyed by a fire during the summer of 1933. The course was commandeered for military use during World War I, which decimated the original links course. In World War II the ninth green was lost as a result of the building of a military harbour on the Conwy Estuary. During the 1970s, Frank Pennink remodelled the front nine holes. In 1983 Brian Hugget and Neil Coles redesigned five of the holes on the back nine to accommodate the building of the A55 (North Wales Expressway). Tournaments The Martini International tournament was held at Conwy Golf Club in 1970, when the title was shared by Doug Sewell and Peter Thomson. The 41st Curtis Cup tournament was played at Conwy Golf Club on 26–28 August 2021. The club was originally hosting the event on 12–14 June 2020 but it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conwy Lifeboat Station

Conwy Lifeboat Station is located in the shadow of Conwy Castle, on Lower Gate Street in Conwy, a town situated on the west bank of the River Conwy, on the North Wales coast. An Inshore lifeboat was first stationed in Conwy by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1966. The station currently operates a D-class (IB1) Inshore lifeboat, Enid and John Hislop (D-898), on station since February 2025. History In 1964, in response to an increasing amount of water-based leisure activity, the RNLI placed 25 small fast Inshore lifeboats around the country. These were easily launched with just a few people, ideal to respond quickly to local emergencies. More stations were opened, and in May 1966, a lifeboat station was established at Conwy, with the arrival of a D-class (RFD PB16) Inshore lifeboat, the unnamed (D-97). On the afternoon of 30 August 1970, the Conwy Inshore lifeboat (D-97) was launched into a force six-to-eight gale. On board were Brian Jones, Ronald Craven and Trevor Jones. Two men were rescued from the cabin cruiser Fulmar, which was in difficulties 1 mi (1.6 km) west of West Shore, Llandudno. Shortly after the men were retrieved to the lifeboat, the Fulmer was wrecked and broke up on the rocks. The three lifeboat crew were each awarded 'The Thanks of the Institution inscribed on Vellum' for their service. On the 14 April 1985, construction began of a new boathouse and station building for Conwy lifeboat. The station, on Lower Gate Street, which provided storage, much improved crew facilities, and a retail outlet, was formally opened by Mayor of Conwy Capt. S. R. Roberts, TD, on 29 July 1985. At a naming ceremony on 9 September 1995 in Conwy harbour, Miss Joan Bate, sister of the late Mr Arthur Bate, named the new Conwy lifeboat in honour of its donor, whose legacy had funded the lifeboat. The D-class (EA16) Inshore Lifeboat Arthur Bate (D-482) was formally accepted by Lt. Cdr. Brian Miles, director, on behalf of the RNLI, and handed over to the care of Conwy Lifeboat Station. After serving for nine years, the Arthur Bate was retired, and replaced with another lifeboat funded from the same legacy. Arthur Bate II (D-627) was a new type D-class (IB1), and arrived on service in 2004. Conwy Lifeboat Station celebrated their 50th Anniversary on 18 Jun 2016. Key to the celebrations was Lifeboat Operations Manager Trever Jones, who joined the station when it first opened in 1966, aged 22.

Převorský kostel svaté Marie

Převorský kostel svaté Marie v Monmouthu v Monmouthshiru je anglikánským kostelem zasvěceným panně Marii, který byl původně založen v roce 1075 jako součást benediktinského monmouthského převorství. Současná stavba pochází ovšem zejména z 18. a 19. století. Od roku 1952 patří mezi zákonem chráněné stavby coby Grade II* listed building. Je jednou z 24 zastávek na naučné stezce Monmouthem. Dějiny Převorský kostel byl založen Withenocem, Bretoncem, který se stal pánem z Monmouthu v roce 1075, poté, co Roger de Breteuil, syn Williama fitzOsberna upadl v nemilost, neboť povolil své sestře vdát se za Rapha de Gaela, přestože s tím král Vilém I. Dobyvatel nesouhlasil. Převorství bylo přiřazeno k saumurskému opatství a bylo vysvěceno za přítomnosti Williama fitzBaderona v roce 1101. Později v dvanáctém století bylo rozšířeno a stalo se farním kostelem. Dnes ovšem z původní budovy nezbývá o mnoho víc než krátký úsek normanské zdi. Věž z čtrnáctého století je postavena z místního materiálu zvaného starý červený pískovec. Po rušení anglických klášterů v roce 1536 budova chátrala a okolo roku 1730 se zmiňuje jako rozpadlá. V letech 1736-1737 ji zásadně přestavěl Francis Smith of Warwick, který postavil novou hlavní loď, nicméně i tato stavba se víceméně nedochovala. V roce 1743 byl přidán nový vrcholek věže do výšky 60 metrů podle návrhu Nathaniela Wilkinsona z Worcesteru. Okolo roku 1850 se Monmouthská rada rozhodla zavřít hřbitov u kostela, neboť se zbytky rozpadajících těl objevovaly nad zemí. Navíc se o obyvatelích nedalekého Whitecrossu říkalo, že umírají předčasně, a z hřbitova přicházel smrad. V roce 1851 byl otevřen Monmouthský hřbitov a ten se stal novým místem pro pohřby. Koncem devatenáctého století kostel skoro úplně přestavěl George Edmund Street. Původně měl dokonce v úmyslu celý původní kostel zbořit a na jeho místě postavit nový, ale odhadovaná cena 22 tisíc liber byla příliš vysoká a tak mu nezbylo než se spokojit s rekonstrukcí, která ponechala dvě zdi z původní lodě a věžičku. Kostel je zdaleka nejvyšší budovou v Monmouthu. Vnitřek Současný vnitřek pochází z roku 1882 a byl původně určený pro tisíc lidí, ale mnohé lavice byly později odstraněny. Vnitřní vitráže pocházejí z osmdesátých let devatenáctého století a jejich autorem je Charles Eamer Kempe. Za zvláště hezké je považované okno zvané „Čtyři rajské řeky“ zobrazující Píšon, Gíchón, Eufrat a Tigris. Ty zaplatil Charles Henry Crompton-Roberts z Drybridge House, místní významný obchodník a mecenáš. Po Kempeho smrti jeho firma vyrobila ještě „okno čtyř Edvardů“ na jižní stěně, dokončené v roce 1911. Je na něm Eduard VII., Eduard III. Vyznavač, Eduard I. a Eduard, Černý princ. Zvony Přesný původ zvonů není znám, nicméně podle nejstarších pramenů v roce 1673 zaplatil kostel za příslušenství k pěti zvonům. Dnes je zde osm zvonů: Odkazy Reference V tomto článku byl použit překlad textu z článku St Mary's Priory Church, Monmouth na anglické Wikipedii.

Монастырская церковь Святой Марии

Монастырская церковь святой Марии (англ. St Mary's Priory Church) — англиканская церковь в городе Монмуте (Уэльс), основанная бенедиктинцами в 1075 году. Общие сведения Существующее здание датируется преимущественно XVIII и XIX веками. В 1952 году здание получило статус культурного наследия II*. Входит в список сооружений Тропы культурного наследия Монмута. Церковь была основана бретонцем Витеноком (Withenoc (Gwethenoc)), ставшим правителем этих мест в 1075 году. Башня возводилась из старого красного песчаника в три этапа, начиная с XIV века. После Тюдоровской секуляризации в 1536 году здание начало разрушаться. К 1730 году церковь описывалась как лежащая в руинах. Значительная перестройка произошла в 1736–1737 годах. Новый шпиль высотой в 60 метров был воздвигнут в 1743 году. В конце XIX века церковь была почти целиком перестроена Джорджем Эдмундом Стритом (George Edmund Street). Его отчёт 1879 года гласил, что у церкви практически нет своего стиля, она совершенно непривлекательна и неинтересна. Оригинальное предложение содержало идею полного разрушения и перестройки, но затраты оказались слишком велики, и дело ограничилось перестройкой. Колокола Точное происхождение колоколов неизвестно. Самое раннее упоминание их относится к 1673 году, когда некий Роберт Маршалл заплатил £1.2.6" за скобы, замки, ключи и железо для пяти колоколов. К 1883 году колокола нуждались в капитальном ремонте и замене рамы стоимостью 200 фунтов стерлингов. Половину этих расходов заплатили местные масонские ложи (которые маршировали в полном обмундировании на церемонии открытия новой Викторианской церкви 2 ноября 1882 года). В настоящее время у церкви восемь колоколов: Кладбище В восточной части церковного двора расположена могила художника Джона Ренье (John Renie), его жены и двух сыновей. Ренье умер в 1832 г. в возрасте 33 лет. 8 октября 2005 года надгробие было включено в список культурного наследия уровня II. Оно представляет собой прямоугольную плиту с вырезанной головоломкой — акростихом на 285 букв. Если начать от центральной заглавной H, можно прочитать «Здесь лежит Джон Ренье» (англ. “Here lies John Renie”) в любом направлении. Считается, что существует 46 000 способов прочтения головоломки. Предположительно, Ренье спроектировал камень сам. По мнению Лайонеля Фанторпе (Lionel Fanthorpe), Ренье хотел запутать дьявола и таким образом попасть в рай. Фактически же Ренье похоронен где-то в другом месте, а камень был перемещён сюда позже.

Tre’r Ceyri

Tre’r Ceyri (auch Tre’r Ceiri) ist ein Hillfort (eine von einem Ringwall umschlossene Höhensiedlung) aus der Eisenzeit in Nordwales auf der Kuppe des gleichnamigen Berges östlich des Yr Eifl. Es befindet sich im nördlichsten Abschnitt der Nordwestküste der Lleyn-Halbinsel im Westen von Snowdonia, nördlich der Straße zwischen Llanaelhaearn und Llithfaen. Der Name bedeutet „Stadt der Riesen“. Tre’r Ceyri liegt auf einer Höhe von 485 m und gilt als größte Wallburg aus der Eisenzeit in Nordwesteuropa und als eines der besterhaltenen und eindrucksvollsten Hillforts in Britannien. Die etwa 2,5 ha große Anlage ist von einer massiven, weitgehend intakten Trockenmauer umschlossen. Die ursprüngliche Höhe des Walls betrug etwa 4 m. Innerhalb der Mauern befinden sich Ruinen von etwa 150 Steinhäusern, die vermutlich Torfdächer hatten. Es wird angenommen, dass die frühsten Teile der Anlage aus dem letzten Jahrhundert vor der römischen Invasion in Wales im Jahre 78 n. Chr. stammen, obwohl die meisten archäologischen Funde aus der Zeit zwischen 150 und 400 n. Chr. datieren und belegen, dass der Ort während der römischen Besatzung weiterhin genutzt wurde. Weitere archäologische Funde belegen, dass das Hillfort im 4. Jahrhundert aufgegeben wurde.

Tre'r Ceiri

Tre'r Ceiri (Welsh pronunciation: [treːr ˈkɛiri] ) is a hillfort dating back to the Iron Age. The name means "town of the giants", from cewri, plural of cawr, "giant". The settlement is 450 metres (1,480 ft) above sea level on the slopes of Yr Eifl, a mountain on the north coast of the Llŷn Peninsula in Gwynedd, north-western Wales. Evidence suggests the fort was first built around 200 BC, though most of the archaeological finds date from AD 150–400, showing the site continued as a settlement during the Roman occupation. Tre'r Ceiri is one of the most spectacular ancient monuments in Wales. The settlement is surrounded by stone walls that are largely intact, and which reach up to 4 metres (13 ft) in some places. Within the walls are ruins of about 150 stone houses, which would have had turf roofs. During Roman times, it may have housed up to 400 people. Historian John Davies suggests that because the settlement is so far above sea level, the huts served as habitations for summer shepherds who also had winter dwellings in the lowlands. In modern times it was first brought to popular attention by Thomas Pennant in his Tours of Wales. Its location and importance have attracted visitors for years. The hillfort has recently been the site of conservation work and footpath maintenance. An extensive survey was made in 1956.

Statue of Betty Campbell

A statue of Betty Campbell sculpted by Eve Shepherd was unveiled in Central Square, Cardiff, Wales, in 2021. Betty Campbell had been the first black head teacher in Wales. Background Campbell died at the age of 82 on 13 October 2017. First Minister of Wales Carwyn Jones described Campbell as "a true pioneer" and an "inspiration to other black and ethnic minority people." Race Council Cymru immediately called for a statue to be erected in her memory. In Cardiff, the only statue of a woman who actually lived was that of Boudicca in the City Hall. This contrasted with the number of statues of famous men, including Aneurin Bevan, Ivor Novello and Lloyd George. In 2016, Helen Molyneux (the Chair of the Institute of Welsh Affairs), Carolyn Hitt, and the Welsh Women's Equality Network, organised 'Monumental Welsh Women', a task force to tackle this imbalance. In 2019, the BBC ran the 'Hidden Heroines' campaign to decide who should be the subject of Cardiff's first statue of a named woman, decided by a public vote. Five women were shortlisted: the poet and teacher Cranogwen (Sarah Jane Rees), the suffragette Lady Rhondda (Margaret Haig Thomas), the political organiser Elizabeth Andrews, the writer and anthropologist Elaine Morgan, and Betty Campbell. On 18 January 2019, it was announced that Campbell had won the vote, and that her statue would be erected in the plaza of Central Square. Design and development The Betty Campbell statue was intended to be an iconic landmark that people travel to Cardiff just to see. Sculptor Eve Shepherd was chosen from a shortlist of three artists. The finished sculpture is 4 metres (13 ft) high and cast in bronze. Cambell's head and shoulders create a canopy sheltering ten bronze children of various ages depicted at the base of the statue. The base also includes mini bronze models of landmarks in Tiger Bay, for example the Pierhead Building and the Wales Millennium Centre. In addition there are small bronze chairs which are designed to be sat upon. On seeing the final design, Elaine Clarke, Campbell's daughter, commented that it encapsulated her mother "in a way that ensures her legacy of determination, aspiration and inspiration lives on for generations to come". The statue was financed by private, corporate, crowd-sourced and Welsh Government funding and it was intended to be installed in 2020. After delays caused by COVID-19 restrictions, the unveiling took place on 29 September 2021. An image of the statue was included in video accompanying the official Wales World Cup song in 2022.
