Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Walks and Wanderings in County Cardigan: Being a Descriptive Sketch of Its Picturesque, Historic, Antiquarian, Romantic and Traditional Features The old land of Ceredigion has not in the past been very fruitful of literary exertion save for religious memoirs, theological dissertations and perhaps poetry. The writers have in general neglected to give evidence of their home to the world without, and as a century ago the History of Cardiganshire was left to the "juvenile antiquarian ebullition" of Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick, so these Wanderings by moorland, forest, secluded hamlet and winding stream are the treasured notes of many holiday rambles and researches of one who, if closely bound in love to the county, is still a stranger by birth and residence. The vast storehouse of material upon Cardiganshire has been little worked until quite recent times. My original intention was to introduce chapters upon unique features of Cardiganshire life - the farm, the mine, the superstitions, folk-lore and ancient customs; but these have assumed proportions vast enough for another volume, and I reluctantly leave them in script. Thus has it fared with nonconformity, though an appendix yields a basis for further work. Lists of Mayors of Aberystwyth and Cardigan are available from early Stuart days, and of Lampeter names of port-reeves before 1800 and mayors after 1832, but the already increased bulk of the volume has excluded these invaluable data. Those interested in Aberystwyth will find ample suggestion in Mr. Eyre Evans' recent labours, and the great Abbey's exploration was chronicled by the explorer. The Sheriffs long ago met with their recorder, and the Enwogion (worthies) were honoured in the biographies of Gwynionydd and Glan Menai. Literature on the Mines has been somewhat extensive. My obligations are due to the Countess of Lisburne for permission to reproduce the portrait of the present Earl; to Mrs. Johnes and Lady Hills-Johnes for the loan of various engravings, portraits, etc.; to Major Edw. W. D. Evans, J.P. for the account of the Militia; to Mr. S. Gwbert Adams for valuable information on Cardigan town; to Principal Bebb of Lampeter, Principal Salmon of Swansea, Mr. Hall of Aberystwyth, Messrs. Thomas of Cardigan and Mr. D. Thomas of Barrow-on-Soar, for assistance in the matter of views; to my father, without whose ready advice the volume would not have been written, and other relatives, in addition to those referred to continually in the text and foot-notes. As level England has been formed geologically by the deposition of mere waste material from the surface of the Welsh mountains, so my book may appear to the Cymro mere alluvia from the inexhaustible hills; but I may surely reply that the English meadows bear fruit more readily than the untilled mountain land, and through its imperfections, of which I am but too keenly sensible, my volume may usher in a nobler attempt to delineate this isolated and almost inaccessible country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiganshire County History Volume 2 is published by the University of Wales Press on behalf of the Ceredigion Historical Society, in association with the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales. This volume provides a comprehensive and authoritative account, written by distinguished authors in fifteen chapters, of the wide range of social, economic, political, religious and cultural forces that shaped the ethos and character of the county of Cardiganshire over a period of 600 years. This was a period of great turbulence and change. It witnessed conquest and castle-building, the impact of the Glyndŵr rebellion, the coming of the Protestant Reformation, and the turmoil of civil war. Over time, the inhabitants of the county developed a sense of themselves as a distinctive people who dwelt in a recognisable entity. From very early on, literate people took pride in their native patch; in the eyes of the learned Sulien (d. 1091) and his sons, the land of Ceredig was a sacred patria. Poets and scribes burnished the reputation of the county, and a vibrant poem by Siôn Morys in 1577 maintained that it was the best of shires and ‘the fold of the generous ones’.

Book Synopsis Cardiganshire by : Mike Benbough-Jackson
Download or read book Cardiganshire written by Mike Benbough-Jackson and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiganshire is the most distinctive of Welsh counties--home of the historic kingdom of Ceredigion, several significant monastic sites, and the National Library of Wales. Covering much of Cardigan's contribution to Welsh culture, this volume discusses the landscape, people, customs, and significant centers of religions worship that help to define the county's rich and diverse history, as well as less-trodden aspects of Cardiganshire's past like emigration, geographical difference, superstition, and sports.
Book Synopsis Religion and Society in the Diocese of St Davids 1485-2011 by : John Morgan-Guy
Download or read book Religion and Society in the Diocese of St Davids 1485-2011 written by John Morgan-Guy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the medieval and early modern periods the Welsh diocese of St Davids was one of the largest in the country and the most remote. As this collection makes clear, this combination of factors resulted in a religious life which was less regulated and controlled by the institutional forces of both Church and State. Addressing key ideas in the development of popular religious culture and the stubborn continuity of long-lasting religious practices into the modern era, the volume shows how the diocese was also a locus for continuing major religious controversies, especially in the nineteenth century. Presenting a fresh view of the Diocese of St Davids since the Reformation, this is the first new account of religion and society in over a century. It is, moreover, not one which is written primarily from an institutional perspective but from that of wider society. As well as a chronological treatment, giving an overview of the history of religion in the diocese, chapters address key themes, including a study of religious revivals which originated within the borders of the diocese; consideration of popular and elite education, including the contribution of Bishop Burgess's pioneering institution at Lampeter (the first degree awarding institution in England and Wales after Oxford and Cambridge); the relationship of the Church to the revival of Welsh cultural identity; and new reflections on the agitation and realisation of disestablishment of the Church as it affected Wales. As such, this pioneering study has much to offer all those with an interest, not only in Welsh history, but ecclesiastical history more broadly.
Download or read book Eternal Chalice written by Juliette Wood and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-06-30 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the secret of the Grail?' So intoned a heavenly voice to Sir Percival in John Boorman's stylish and influential film 'Excalibur' (1981). The sacred allure of the Holy Grail has fascinated writers and ensnared knights for over a thousand years. From Malory to Monty Python, the eternal chalice - said to be the very cup from which Christ drank at the Last Supper - has the richest associations of any icon in British myth. Many different meanings have been devised for the Grail, which has been linked to the Celts and King Arthur, the eucharistic rites of Eastern Christianity, ancient mystery religions, Jungian archetypes, dualist heresies, Templar treasure and even the alleged descendants of Christ himself and Mary Magdalene. The common thread running through all these stories is the assumption that the Grail legend has a single source with a meaning that - if only we could decode it - is concealed in the romances themselves. That meaning has become the subject of coded, secret documents and is the central feature of a vast conspiracy supposedly stretching back to the dawn of western civilization. Juliette Wood here reveals the elusive and embedded significance of the Grail story in popular consciousness - as myth, medieval romance, tangible holy relic and finally as the centre of an esoteric theory of global conspiracy. The author shows how various interpretations of the Grail, over the centuries, reflect changing cultural needs and desires. Her book will enthral those who, like Sir Percival, seek to unlock the mysterious secrets of western mythology's most extraordinary and tantalising enigma, and will delight students of history, myth and religion alike.
