Castello di Dolwyddelan

Il castello di Dolwyddelan (in inglese: Dolwyddelan Castle; in gallese: Castell Dolwyddelan) è un castello fortificato in rovina del villaggio gallese di Dolwyddelan, nel distretto unitario di Conwy (Galles nord-orientale) fatto forse costruire agli inizi del XIII secolo da Llywelyn il Grande (Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, 1173 ca.-1240). Secondo la tradizione, l'edificio è spesso considerato il luogo di nascita di quest'ultimo, ma è improbabile che il castello esistesse già prima degli anni venti del XII secolo e il luogo di nascita di Llewelyn è con ogni probabilità il Tomen Castell, di cui sono stati rinvenute delle rovine sempre a Dolwyddelan. L'edificio è classificato come castello di primo grado (dal 1997). Descrizione Il castello si erge su una collina situata a circa 3-4 miglia ad ovest del villaggio di Dolwyddelan, nell'area del parco nazionale di Snowdonia. Il castello presenta un maschio a forma rettangolare e un cortile a forma di D, in cui si trova un'altra torre rettangolare. Storia La costruzione del castello, attribuita a Llywelyn il Grande, risale probabilmente ad un periodo compreso tra il 1210 e il 1240. Dopo la morte di Llywelyn il Grande, il castello passò probabilmente nelle mani del nipote Llywelyn ap Gruffudd. Dopo l'uccisione di quest'ultimo, avvenuta nel dicembre del 1282, il castello fu conquistato il 18 gennaio 1283 da re Eduardo I, che era giunto a Dolwyddelan con 5.400 soldati, e l'edificio rimase quindi per un breve periodo (fino al 1290 ca.) nelle mani degli Inglesi Il re fece anche intraprendere un'opera di ristrutturazione del castello. Nel 1488, il castello fu acquisito da Maredudd ab Ieuan, un nobile originario della penisola di Llŷn. Il castello cadde in rovina nel corso del XIX secolo. Il maschio fu però restaurato da Lord Willoughby de Eresby tra il 1848 e il 1850.

Zamek Dolwyddelan

Zamek Dolwyddelan (ang. Dolwyddelan Castle, wal. Castell Dolwyddelan) – zamek położony w pobliżu miejscowości Dolwyddelan w hrabstwie Conwy w północnej Walii. Wybudowany w czasach panowania księcia Llywelyna Wielkiego (1173–1240), prawdopodobnie pomiędzy 1210 a 1240. W założeniu władcy miał stanowić strategicznie ważny element obrony Walii wraz z pobliskim zamkiem Dolbadarn i Prysor. Pierwotnie składał się z jednej wieży i muru okalającego podwórze. Po upadku Księstwa Walii, Anglicy dobudowali drugą wieżę i odtąd zamek składał się z dwóch wież na planie prostokąta, połączonych nieregularnym murem. Historia Zamek posadowiony na wzgórzu, kontrolował ważny trakt prowadzący w kierunku północnej Walii. W trakcie drugiej kampanii walijskiej tj. 18 stycznia 1283, zamek został zdobyty przez siły króla Edwarda I. Obrona załogi Llywelyna ab Gruffydd pozwoliła zatrzymać wojska angielskie w zatoce przez jakiś czas. Anglicy przystąpili do modyfikacji umocnień zamku i obsadzili zamek swoim garnizonem. Obecność Anglików na zamku trwała do 1290 roku, gdy zakończono budowę tzw. „żelaznego pierścienia” zamków z dostępem do morza tj. zamki: Conwy, Beaumaris, Harlech, Caernarfon. Stara forteca walijska okazała się przestarzała i zbyt mała do utrwalania zdobyczy angielskich. Zamek był zamieszkiwany w XV w. przez lokalnego możnowładcę lorda Maredudd ap Ieuan, który dodał dodatkowy wyższy poziom do istniejącej wieży. W XIX w. lord Willoughby de Eresby dokonał częściowej przebudowy; za jego sprawą wieże zwieńczono blankami. Do naszych czasów przetrwała jedynie walijska baszta, po angielskiej pozostała jedynie część ściany - fakt ten Walijczycy uznają za swego rodzaju sprawiedliwość dziejową.

Долвиделан (замок)

Замок Долвиделан (валл. Castell Dolwyddelan) — средневековый замок, расположенный рядом с деревней Долвиделан в городе-графстве Конуи в северном Уэльсе. История замка Долвиделан является местом рождения Лливелина Великого, скорее всего тот появился на свет в укреплении Томен-Касл неподалёку от замка Долвиделан. С именем этого правителя Гвинеда связано и возведение замка Долвиделан в XIII веке, который являлся одним из оборонительных сооружений перекрывающих подходы к оплоту гвинедских принцев в Сноудонии. Замок был одним из важнейших опорных точек Лливелина ап Грифида, но в рамках кампании по завоеванию Уэльса был взят войсками Эдуарда I 18 января 1283 года, и охранялся усиленным контингентом англичан до 1290 года. Предположительно в это время была возведена Западная башня. Затем Долвиделан вновь стал использоваться в XV веке, когда местный землевладелец Маредид ап Иейан провёл его восстановление и пристроил ещё один этаж к донжону. В середине XIX века состоялась ещё одна реконструкция замка лордом Уилоуби де Эресби, в рамках которой главная башня была увенчана зубцами. Появление в фильмах Окрестности и виды Долвиделана были использованы для отображения замка Ульриха при съемках фильма «Убийца драконов» в 1980 году.

St Mary's Church, Llanfairpwllgwyngyll

St Mary's Church is a Church in Wales parish church in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, Anglesey, Wales. It was built in 1853 to serve the village in the Diocese of Bangor and is a Grade II-listed building. History Before St Mary's Church was erected there was an earlier church dedicated to the Virgin Mary on the site. In 1853, during the heyday of Victorian restorationism, the old church was rebuilt using stone rubble at a cost of £950. It was later re-consecrated in the same year by the Bishop of Bangor. Several of the fittings in the old church were replaced but the original baptismal font was retained and installed in the new church. The church's stained glass windows were gradually replaced by several benefactors. The east window showing several Biblical scenes was dedicated to Henry Paget, 1st Marquess of Anglesey, and the west window showing Jesus and the Twelve Apostles dedicated to Sir Robert Waller Otway, 1st Baronet, both in 1876. The windows on the north and south sides were also replaced in 1900 and 1906 respectively. The churchyard contains five Commonwealth war graves, of two Royal Welsh Fusiliers soldiers and a Merchant sailor of World War I, and a Merchant and a Royal Navy sailor of World War II. Listing In 1998, St Mary's Church was granted Grade II-listed status, as "a good example of a small Gothic Revival Church, characterized by its use of clearly articulated architectural forms and a controlled, coherent vocabulary of detail". Village name The village of Llanfairpwllgwyngyll is named after St Mary's Church. The long form of this name, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, was first adopted in the 19th century as a promotional device. In English, the first and older element of the name means "The Church of St Mary at Pwllgwyngyll [the white hazel pool]". The second part translates as "near the rapid whirlpool, near St Tysilio's red cave", Llandysilio being the name of another local parish.

Church of All Saints, Llanelli

The Church of All Saints is a former Anglican parish church in the town of Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, Wales. It was built in 1872 and is located in Heol Goring. It was designated a Grade II-listed building on 3 December 1992, and was reported to be closed in March 2011 due to electrical defects. At the time this church was built, the amount of funds available was the determining factor when deciding on the architectural style to be used when building a new place of worship; the richer the congregation, the more ornate the church. Most churches cost somewhere between £1000 and £2000 to erect, but the Church of All Saints, Llanelli was estimated to cost £4,800 when it was built in 1872, the architect being George Edmund Street of London. Additional sums were spent in 1887 when the west end was completed according to the original plans. The exterior is built with brown rock-faced rubble-stone with Bath stone dressings, and the roof is clad with green slates and terracotta ridge tiles. Besides the "exceptionally fine 5-light stained-glass east window" there is another fine window in the south aisle. The church was designated a Grade II listed building on 3 December 1992, and has a richly decorated interior with heavily carved reredos, and fine stained-glass windows. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales curates the archaeological, architectural and historic records for this church. These include digital photographs of the exterior and interior, colour transparencies and black and white postcards. In March 2011, the church was closed because of electrical problems. The Church in Wales took the decision not to repair the electrics but instead to sell the church and invest the proceeds in other churches in the town.

Llanwern High School

Llanwern High School is a secondary school near Llanwern, on the eastern edge of Newport, Wales. The school has a capacity for 1450 pupils. History Previously known as Hartridge High School, it changed its name in 2012 to Llanwern High School, recruited a new headteacher, Peter Jenkins, and built a new £29 million school building. Pupils and teachers moved into the new school in May 2012 and it was officially opened on 19 September 2012 by Wales rugby players Dan Lydiate and Toby Faletau. School characteristics The school was profiled in The Guardian in 2006 by journalist Stephen Moss, whose own school it had been in the 1960s. Moss identifies the level of deprivation locally which means that the school "no longer gets enough pupils to produce a grammar stream". He quotes the then deputy head, "We have a small number of children who would stand their own anywhere, and we obviously nurture those, and they have as good a chance here as anywhere". Moss found the lessons "impressive" and noted that the sixth-form was a "school of sporting excellence". He describes the children as "articulate, thoughtful and a little wayward". He notes that the "school's academic performance is grisly by national standards", citing the 2006 results, but that this is misleading because of the school's catchment area and children's attainment when they come to the school. Inspection by Estyn As of 2022, the school's most recent inspection was in 2019, with a judgement of Adequate but "in need of significant improvement". There was a monitoring visit in 2019, which found Significant Improvement. Notable former pupils Mark Aizlewood, Wales international football player John F. Allen, biochemist John Blackburn, Anglican priest and Chaplain General of the British Army Christian Malcolm, international sprinter References External links Official website

Trefriw Woollen Mills

Trefriw Woollen Mills is a woollen mill in the village of Trefriw, Conwy, in northern Wales, that has been operating since around 1825. History The Woollen industry in Wales was once an important part of the Welsh economy. Originally called the Vale of Conwy Woollen Mill, the mill was built in 1820 higher up than the present mill on the banks of the Afon Crafnant. Thomas Williams purchased the mill in 1859 and expanded the business. Products from the woollen mills were taken to the coast from the quay at Trefiw using the River Conwy. A 36-foot (11 m) in diameter overshot wheel powered spinning mules and jennies. The yarn was then woven into cloth on hand looms. A smaller 7-foot (2.1 m) wheel powered a fulling mill, which washed the cloth and kneaded it with wooden hammers to thicken and strengthen it. The water wheels were dismantled around 1900 when the first hydroelectric turbine was installed. Workers at the Trefriw Woollen Mills competed in the 1918 National Eisteddfod of Wales and won prizes for objects such as a sample of fine cream serge, a sample of white baby flannel and two double-size blankets. Two Pelton wheel turbines made by Boving were installed in a former flour mill in 1942 and 1951 to deliver 60 kW to the mill machinery. The turbines are fed through a 20 inches (510 mm) diameter pipe from a dam built in 1952 0.5 miles (0.80 km) upstream and 125 feet (38 m) higher up. Most of the present machinery was acquired in the 1950s and 1960s. The present main building, with three shallow-sloping roofs, was erected around 1970. Several older mill buildings are behind the main building, accessible from the mill yard. Today Trefriw Woollen Mills is one of the few remaining woollen mills still in production in Wales. The mill continues to be owned and operated by the Williams family. It takes raw wool, which it cards, spins, dyes and weaves into tapestry bedspreads, tweeds and travelling rugs. The mill is known for traditional double-weave blankets. It has a shop, and is open to visitors at designated times. There is a garden with plants that provide natural soaps, dyes and fibres. In the summer there are demonstrations of hand spinning and rag rug making. Notes Sources
Llanishen Golf Club

Llanishen Golf Club is a golf course in Thornhill, north of Llanishen on the northern outskirts of Cardiff, Wales. It lies across the M4 motorway from Cardiff. The parkland course, which was 5338 yards as of 2005, is set to the backdrop of Caerphilly Mountain. History Llanishen Golf Club was established in 1905. It originally began as Lisvane Golf Club, which predated Radyr Golf Club (est. 1902). In April 1995 a new clubhouse, with a club and lounge bar and restaurant was inaugurated. Between 2007 and 2009 it underwent a change, with a drainage programme to reduce moisture on the greens, and as a result they're some of the driest in Wales. In August 2015 an 86-year-old golfer sank a hole-in-one from the 16th par 3 tee. References External links Official site
Radyr Golf Club

Radyr Golf Club is a golf course in Radyr, northwestern Cardiff, Wales. It is the oldest existing golf club in Cardiff, established on 29 November 1902, following the breakup of Lisvane Golf Club, the preceding year. History In 1904 the club hosted the inaugural Welsh Professional Championship. In 1912 the parkland course was redesigned by Harry Colt, who overlooked further changes nine years later. In 1913, a fire gutted the original clubhouse, and was replaced by a building which still exists. In 1920 Rupert Phillips and Raymond Thomas played at the course. The golfers were bet that they could not play through from Radyr in Cardiff to the golf club at Southerndown, a distance of 20 miles. It took 608 strokes and 20 lost balls as well as being chased by a bull before they were able to collect the bet. It has hosted the PGA Welsh National Championship six times as of April 2016, the last of which was in July 2015. Course The course at Radyr is a 6,053 yards (5,535 m), par 70 (SSS 70) course for men and 5,485 yards (5,015 m), par 72 (SSS 72) for women, and operates all year round. Laid out by the course designer Harry Colt, the Chairman of the 2010 Ryder Cup described it as "One of Colt's Little Jewels". Trudy Carradice, in the book Golf in Wales: A Pictorial History described the course as follows: Radyr is a parkland course, albeit one with a few steep climbs and drops. The finishing hole is a classic example of this, a straight drive being needed to take you to the top of the hill before dropping sharply down to a sunken green close to the front of the clubhouse. The course winds its way across and around hillsides, through banks of tall, mature trees. Ditches, hedges and the occasional stretch of water provide other hazards that golfers might find better to avoid. Carradice further notes that the course offers fine views of Cardiff and the Seven Estuary. Notes References External links Official website
