James Kitchener Davies

James Kitchener Davies (16 June 1902 – 25 August 1952), also known as J. Kitchener Davies, was a Welsh poet and playwright who wrote mostly in the Welsh language. Davies's work is highly influenced by the industrial landscape of his adopted village of Trealaw in the Rhondda Valley and his own nationalistic beliefs. Biography Born and brought up in Llangeitho in Ceredigion, Davies spent his working life in the newly industrialised coalfields of the Rhondda Valley. The sometimes bleak conditions of his early life, especially as his early adulthood coincided with the economic despair of the depression, is reflected in his plays. Davies was part of the Cadwgan Circle, a literary group of likeminded writers from Rhondda, that centred their image of Wales on the new industrialised society they were brought up in. Members of the Circle included Rhydwen Williams, Pennar Davies and Gareth Alban Davies. His early play Cwm Glo (1934) was seen as controversial because it dealt with the social impact of the depression without the cultural romanticism which was stereotypical of Welsh literature. His verse play Meini Gwagedd (1944) is set in the Tregaron area and again looks at the harshness of the industrialised Wales and the self-destructive nature of people when drawn into a spiral of ill fortune. In 1945, Davies stood in the United Kingdom general election, standing in the Rhondda East constituency as the first member of Plaid Cymru to contest the seat in the Rhondda Valleys. He came last out of three candidates, gaining 2,123 votes (6.1%). The next election, in 1950 he ran again, this time the Rhondda West constituency seat. He increased his vote to 6.6% and then improved this in the 1951 election when he polled slightly higher with 7.7% of the vote, again in the Rhondda West constituency. James Kitchener Davies is buried at Trealaw Cemetery in Trealaw. Bibliography Williams, Chris (1996). Democratic Rhondda, Politics and society 1885-1951. Cardiff: University of Wales Press. p. 164.

Croft-Y-Bwla

A Croft-Y-Bwla vidéki udvarház a walesi Monmouthtól északnyugatra. Az épületet 1830 körül építették a neves helyi építész, George Vaughan Maddox tervei alapján. Az épület 1974 óta II. kategóriás brit műemléknek (British Listed Building) számít. Története Az udvarház nevének jelentése bika major. A bwla szó a walesibe az angol bull szó révén került. A walesi szó először 1253-ban tűnik fel írásban topyn felyn fwla alakban. A walesi nyelvben eredetileg a tarw szóval jelölték a bikát.. A bwla megjelenik más földrajzi helyek nevében is, például a közép-walesi Carreg-y-Bwla egy működő birtok Llangurig és Rhayader között. Az épületet 1830 körül építették Thomas Dyke, egy monmouthi zöldséges számára, George Vaughan Maddox tervei alapján. Az épület egy alacsony földhalmon áll, ahonnan remek a kilátás a városra. A kétszintes épület hagyományos kialakítású, négyszögletes alaprajzú hármas tagolással minden oldalán. A falak simára vakoltak. A bejárati előtetőt a Dean-erdőből származó zöldes kőből építették meg és egy pár dór oszlop tartja. Az épület délkeleti oldalán egy erősen romlott állapotú veranda található. A házhoz tartozó istállókat a 19. század közepén építették meg. A birtokhoz tartozik, egy egyszintes útmenti házikó is, amely valószínűleg szintén Maddox tervei alapján épült fel. A birtokhoz egy kert is tartozik, belső utak, kiterjedt park, melegházak és üvegházak. A birtokon élt Helen Barry színésznő, Alexander Rolls (John Etherington Welch Rolls testvére) felesége, aki 1870 és 1874 között Monmouth polgármestere volt. A birtokon élt J. H. Walwyn tábornok is, aki 1896-ban volt a város polgármestere. Itt lakott fia is, Fulke Walwyn kapitány, aki első monmouthi sebesültként tért haza az első világháborúból. A birtok jelenleg átalakítás alatt áll. A tervek szerint a birtokon golfpályát, szállodát és konferenciaközpontot létesítenek valamint Parc Glyndwr néven lakóparkot.

Jenner Park Stadium

Jenner Park is the premier sports stadium in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales and traditional home of football club, Barry Town United. Overview Jenner Park occupies the space of land between Barry's Gladstone Road and Barry Road and has been the setting for the evolution of Barry's senior football club for more than 100 years, as well as hosting athletics, greyhound racing and other attractions over the decades. Named after the Jenner family, who donated the land, the ground was built by the Barry football enthusiasts for their representative side to compete at the highest possible level and was completed between the landmark meeting of 1912 and the opening fixture of 1913–14. Among the most notable Barry matches played at Jenner Park have been European ties, domestic cup finals, major semi-finals and quarter-finals, FA Cup fixtures, televised matches, testimonials, high-scoring thrillers and friendlies against high-profile opposition. The final of the 2018–19 Welsh League Cup was played at the ground between Cardiff Metropolitan University and Cambrian & Clydach Vale B. & G.C. with the Mets winning 2–0. Comprised initially of two wooden stands, popular bank terracing was added in 1923 and floodlights added in the 1940s, allowing Jenner Park to host Wales' first ever floodlit football match between Barry and Newport in 1949–50. During the 1980s, the local council rebuilt Jenner Park, installing a synthetic running track, a new all-seater stand and improved floodlights. Then, to bring Jenner Park up to UEFA standards, a second covered stand was built in the mid-1990s, boosting the seating capacity to 2,500. This was increased to over 6,000 for the visits of Aberdeen and Manchester United in 1996 with the use of temporary bleachers behind each goal; a practice no longer permitted. Recent years have seen the addition of a special viewing area for wheelchair users in the grandstand (known colloquially as the 'Old Stand'), accessible via the stadium's Devon Avenue entrance. Most recently, August 2015 saw work undertaken on installing a new, state-of-the-art 3G pitch, completed in October 2015. Wales manager Chris Coleman was on hand for the official opening. Greyhound racing In 1928 the football club attempted to bring greyhound racing to Jenner Park, but the council rejected the plans put in by Alderman Councillor C.B. Griffiths OBE. However, on 26 August 1932, the plans were finally passed despite opposition from the local clergy. The first meeting took place on 3 September 1932. The profits created by the racing enabled the survival of the football team during a lean spell for the club before World War II. After the war Jenner Park was bought by the Welsh Greyhound Association (WGA) £5,000 with the proviso that football could continue. The football team were given free tenancy and a Saturday slot for their matches. The ownership switched to the Aberdare Greyhound Association in July 1955, and during the same year the council acquired the ground and put an end to the greyhound racing.

Gladstone's Library

Gladstone's Library, known until 2010 as St Deiniol's Library (Welsh: Llyfrgell Deiniol Sant), is a residential library in Hawarden, Flintshire, Wales, UK. Gladstone's Library is Britain's only Prime Ministerial Library and serves as the national memorial to William Ewart Gladstone. It is home to a large collection of printed items and archives that reflects Gladstone's main interests in history, literature, theology, and politics. History The library was founded by William Gladstone in 1894. He was eager to share his personal library with others, especially those who faced financial constraint. He would allow bright children and young adults of the village of Hawarden to use his collection. His daughter Mary Gladstone said that his desire was to "bring together books who had no readers with readers who had no books". In 1895, at the age of 85, William Gladstone gave £40,000 to the library as well as much of his own book collection. With the help of his daughter and his valet, he wheeled a selection of his books three quarters of a mile (1.2km) between his home at Hawarden Castle and the library. He unpacked them and put them onto shelves using his own classification system. In a diary entry dated 23 December 1895, he described the library's founding: "I have this day constituted my trust at St Deiniol's. The cost of the work has been I think £41 to £42000, including some charges of maintenance to Dec. 31. 95. May God of His mercy prosper it." Following his death in 1898, a public appeal was launched for funds to provide a permanent building to house the collection and replace the temporary structure. The £9,000 raised provided an imposing building, designed by John Douglas, which was officially opened by Earl Spencer on 14 October 1902 as the National Memorial to W.E. Gladstone. The Gladstone family fulfilled the founder's vision by funding the residential wing, which welcomed its first resident on 29 June 1906. Facilities The library is a Grade I listed building and a registered charity. The building includes historical reading rooms, 26 bedrooms for overnight guests, a guest lounge, cafe and restaurant. The library runs regular tours, talks, workshops, masterclasses and residential courses. Collections The library holds 20,000 volumes belonging to William Ewart Gladstone in its Foundation Collection, many of which contain Gladstone's own annotations, as well as over 150,000 books, pamphlets, and journals in its circulating collection. It also holds the Glynne-Gladstone Archive, containing the personal, family, business, and estate correspondence and papers of the Glynne and Gladstone families.

John Beddoes School

John Beddoes School was a secondary or comprehensive school for boys and girls. The school was based on one site in the town of Presteigne. It had a largely rural catchment area in east Radnorshire including the towns and villages of Presteigne, Knighton, Beguildy, New Radnor, Knucklas, Gladestry, Whitton and Norton. It was situated 1/2 mile away from the Welsh/English border and also educated pupils from Herefordshire and Shropshire. During 2013 the school was placed in Estyn's Special Measures category. With the support of Newtown High School the school underwent numerous changes, however under Powys County Council plans, approved by Welsh Government, John Beddoes High School closed on 10 April 2014 to be reopened as a campus of Newtown High School on 11 April 2014. The two campuses both operate as part of one school with a single Senior Leadership Team. Foundation Founded in 1565 it was the second oldest grammar School in Wales. It was founded by John Beddoes, a wealthy woollen manufacturer who provided for the establishment of a Free Grammar School to bring up the youth ... in virtue, discipline and learning. The school was to be maintained from the rents of local properties. John Beddoes endowed the school with the rent from “Bell Meadow” to pay the ringer. He stipulated that should the Curfew cease to be rung then the school should be closed and the financial endowment revert to his heirs. With financial help from the composer Mike Oldfield the tradition continues today on the John Beddoes Campus. The school moved to its current site on Broadaxe Lane in 1907. John Beddoes Grammar School and Knighton Secondary Modern School amalgamated in 1970 to form the comprehensive school. The school closed on 10 April 2014 against the wishes of the staff, pupils and the local community, to reopen the following day as a campus of Newtown High School.
