Growing up nearby. We used to call it the naughty kids school. And they where always running away. And now we know why. Many sad and dark stories.

Makes for sad reading. But it happens. theneedleblog.wordpress.com/operation-greenlight/wales/monmouthshire/troy-house-school/

From someone who grew up in dingestow and lived by the river troddi (troy) . Brilliant video. And such a fascinating story about raglan church which I drive pass regularly.

Such great storytelling as always! 👋

merci, danke, gracias, grazie, obrigado, diolch..... you have over 750 subscribers...!! hopefully soon more than 800... keep up the good work...

The what nuns..?

at last you are back. what is your opinion was Monmouthshire part Wales or England?

Thanks gents. A good excuse to refresh my memory! See you at the Tredegar Folklore tour, Mac… (the one who’s interested in John Morgan) 😂 EDIT: In the sketch of the “tomb-raiding”, there are the letters A, B, C, and D makes around the paper. Do you have any idea what these are - the route they took in their investigation?

First! Hi! Well done.

Thank you! Ardderchog, Diolch yn Fawr!😊❤

This really helped to explain Decimus Prothero's character. I have always postulated that he was a remittance man. I now wonder if his father sent him here for opportunity rather than punishment? The goldfields of New England NSW were opetating (even, before their official discovery). The Sherwood family from Monastervin, Kildare, Ireland, were very fortunate in this venture. Decimus was certainly making great profits from sheep and horseracing. I have only seen positive descriptions of him n the journalism from NSW so (presumably) he was not as bad as his pater or, more adept!

Im in Canada, I remember in my grandparents time a preacher, father Morgan in our community. Also in doing my ancestry I was advised my surname Mandeville may also be Mansell among other variations of the name. I wonder if either of you know about this. In fact many years ago it was said an Irish housekeeper called my great grandparents, mr & mrs Mansell 🤔.....My line did come from Ireland but traced back to William the conqueror ( de mandeville). Before Ireland it was said along with the de bourques there were somrewhat border guards bordering Wales & England. Love the history, thank you!

Raleigh must have made it to North Carolina,.US as theres a place called Raleigh, N.C.

29:00 Do pheasants prey on chickens though?

Visited the house in June as a National Trust member. Had wanted to visit for years. Important house but presentation a bit below par. Particularly disappointed in the presentation of the main entrance hall. Full of junk to entertain children which should be kept to a back room or part of the old domestic quarters. A rack of dressing up costumes, an empty picture frame.... rather poor quality seating furniture which looked a bit like Shaker furniture but alas poor quality. Lowered the tone of the house. Noticed that one of the porches had greenery sprouting out of the roof. Beautiful staircase. A magnificent house but disappointingly presented. Gather NAT Trust have had it in care About 12 years. About time they got their act together. On same trip to Wales n the Cotswolds did Llangollen, Erdigg, Powis Castle and Charlecote Park. Powis was absolutely magnificent inside and outside. Spent a week travelling about the countryside. By training I'm a historian, archivist, writer, curator.

Brilliant, always enjoy your podcast!!

Congratulations on your Golden 50th episode! 💖

Regarding the winged serpents, "serpent" might not mean what we might assume. It might not refer to a strictly snake-like animal. In the past, "serpent", like "wyrm", might have been used to denote an animal we, today, would describe as a "dragon" or "wyvern".

Excellent as always

You English fuks have an awesome sence of humour. Good on you 👍😎

is banwen, the birthplace of st patrick.. as always, very well researched and very very intresting...

Love the local history of Glamorgan.

Gnoll Castle? Interesting

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Thank you.

It’s always good to hear from you

Used to walk here every Sunday in the summer when i was a child [1970] and visit the zoo, bears, snakes, quite a sad zoo in many ways, but also magical. Later in the 80s, a friend of mine rented a flat/bedsit in the house, she said it was haunted, I believed her. Very evocative for me , Whitson Zoo

Very informative as always and it is always better watching yourselves that watching the television

Did you ever see such a funny thing before

Is Neville Hall named after a stately home ?

Always an intruiging and wonderful learning experience, thank you for your continuing podcasts!💖

Hi Paul/Goff, we think it was uremic poisoning on the death certificate. Uremia is fatal if not treated as it is a buildup of waste products in the blood and occurs as a result of untreated kidney failure. Thanks for another excellent podcast. Regards Neil and Louise.

“Renal disease. Chronic arsenic poisoning.”

Thank you; very interesting. The doctor who worked at Maindiff and treated Hess lived in the house opposite where I live; it is now derelict. I met his niece a few years ago, who told me about Hess having tea with them on the lawns. She also sent me some photos of the house in its day.

So we are related to Moses (Jews) and also Yorks, Beautiforts and other historical figures? Distant cousins of the royal family and lost noble family from wales. Part of the Arthurian legend and the 108th High King of Ireland? So much history people probably think we’re mental.

My son lives in Ewenny. Thanks for sharing

Do you know anything about Hengoed hall please and the Perrott family

Does Greenfield Manor = Maesglas

The end picture is the gatehouse down the road. They’ve done it up and It’s now an air BnB

Great Pencarn seems to have some very interesting trails. Are those walking trails or something else? The mounds of San Mateo, CA where I live are actually native American shell mounds which look amazingly similar the burial mound you featured in Tredegar Park. It is crazy that St Gwladys's well is still flowing! Henry Morgan and Pencarn on Jamaica ..legendary! Enjoyable of course as always... Thank you for another most interesting of podcasts!

Ooo is the grave in the grounds of Tredegar house or the park opposite would like to see where that is

are the CARNE, the gentry of the high sherrifs... orginally from pencarn,.. as decendants of the princes of gwent who end up at nash manor, near cowbridge & ewenny priory ...in the 16th century there is also a link to sir edward CARNE, link to the netherlands.... another great intresting video,, keep them coming,... hopefully PENCOED CASTLE.. will feature soon...another morgan property..

I would like to know about where the chapel of Saint Gwladys was?

I caught this one by surprise. It was a very pleasant one

Another great video and thanks for the name check

Delighted to have stumbled across this. I am a descendant of the Cory Bros of Cardiff and I'm researching the family history. Are you able to tell me the source for the Winifred Graham comments you mention, on the interior of Llantarnam Abbey, when Sir Clifford Cory owned it?

I have done my ancestry dna and found that Tredegar Morgans were listed as “direct” descendants in my thrulines. I am absolutely thrilled with the history and found the tomb of William Morgan of Tredegar buried in Westminster Abbey just last week on my first visit to the UK. So excited about this and to share it with my dad, who is an only child of an only child and had two daughters. We will still keep this name in the family!

would it be possible to do a combined video about Itton Court, Itton, Devauden, Monmouthshire... & Norton Court, Norton Brook, Skenfrith, Monmouthshire .. Pen-y-Clawdd Court in Llanvihangel Crucorney, Monmouthshire Llanwenarth House , a morgan property... Newton Court, monmouthshire.... The Old Court, Llangattock Lingoed, Monmouthshire .also owned by the morgan family...a cadet branch... Troy House, monmouthshire... Shirenewton Hall, originally Shirenewton Court, & nearby shiretown church,,,,also in monmouthshire... maybe a video about the high sheriffs of monthmouthshire,.... their relation to tredegar house & the morgan family...

I just went down the rabbit hole on ancestry and landed here

I'm a blood Morgan
