-Hello and welcome

0:00:420:00:46

-Welcome to our school -

-Ysgol y Ferch o'r Sger.

0:00:460:00:49

-Where in Wales is our school?

0:00:490:00:51

-Not far from Porthcawl,

-in Central Glamorgan, South Wales.

0:00:510:00:56

-Ysgol y Ferch o'r Sger

-is named after a young girl...

0:01:000:01:03

-..who lived in Ty'r Sger

-which is close to the school.

0:01:040:01:08

-Here, on our school wall,

-you can see her story.

0:01:090:01:11

-But who was Y Ferch o'r Sger?

0:01:120:01:14

-What is her story?

0:01:140:01:16

-Come and listen to our story,

-Enwog o Fri, Ardal Ni.

0:01:160:01:20

-Once upon a time, a long time ago...

0:01:240:01:27

-..it had been a very stormy night

-at Ty'r Sger.

0:01:280:01:34

-Inside the house...

0:01:350:01:36

-..Mary Williams

-and Elizabeth Williams...

0:01:370:01:42

-..comforted each other.

0:01:430:01:45

-Their mother, Catherine Williams,

-had died eight weeks earlier.

0:01:450:01:50

-The two girls were sad

-to lose their mother.

0:01:500:01:54

-But the maid, Janet Leyshon,

-was very kind to the girls.

0:01:540:01:59

-I'm scared, Janet.

0:01:590:02:01

-I'm scared, too.

0:02:010:02:03

-There, there, girls.

0:02:030:02:05

-There, there, girls.

-

-Where's Dad?

0:02:050:02:06

-I want Dad. Where is he?

0:02:060:02:08

-He's working late, Elizabeth.

0:02:090:02:11

-He's always working

-since Mam passed away.

0:02:110:02:15

-Dad, Dad.

0:02:150:02:17

-Off to bed.

0:02:180:02:19

-Mary and Elizabeth's father, Isaac,

-was very sad...

0:02:230:02:27

-..after his wife's death.

0:02:280:02:29

-He was worried about

-finding money to fix the house...

0:02:300:02:33

-..after years of storm damage.

0:02:330:02:36

-Earlier that day,

-Ty'r Sger's servant, Mark Edwards...

0:02:380:02:45

-..had visited Isaac

-full of excitement.

0:02:450:02:49

-Isaac Williams.

0:02:490:02:50

-What's wrong? Do you have good news?

0:02:500:02:54

-Yes. A ship has hit the rocks.

0:02:540:02:57

-It's bound to sink.

-It's full of cargo.

0:02:570:03:00

-We can sell it for a handsome price.

0:03:000:03:03

-Plenty of money to renovate

-Ty'r Sger.

0:03:030:03:06

-Keep your voice down in case

-someone hears. It's a great idea.

0:03:060:03:10

-It was very stormy

-as the waves lashed wildly...

0:03:160:03:21

-..in the wind.

0:03:210:03:25

-Wave after wave after wave.

0:03:250:03:27

-Yes, the ship sank.

0:03:300:03:32

-Quietly and slyly...

0:03:410:03:43

-..Isaac and Mark crept down

-to the beach.

0:03:430:03:48

-Hush!

0:03:490:03:50

-They stole the cargo

-hoping to sell it.

0:03:500:03:53

-Soon after, the rumours started...

0:04:000:04:03

-..that Isaac Williams had stolen

-and hidden the ship's cargo.

0:04:030:04:09

-He was summoned to a court

-in the village hall.

0:04:090:04:13

-Silence in court.

0:04:150:04:16

-Isaac Williams, are you guilty of

-stealing cargo from a French ship...

0:04:170:04:24

-..and hiding it in your home,

-Ty'r Sger?

0:04:240:04:27

-No.

0:04:280:04:29

-How could I place my daughters

-in danger?

0:04:300:04:33

-Isaac Williams, you're a...

0:04:380:04:40

-..free man.

0:04:460:04:47

-This time - understand?

0:04:490:04:50

-Yes. I understand.

0:04:510:04:54

-Elizabeth saw a handsome young man

-with a harp on his lap.

0:04:540:04:59

-His name was Thomas Evans.

0:04:590:05:01

-They stared at each other

-and smiled...

0:05:020:05:06

-..not knowing

-they would meet again one day.

0:05:060:05:13

-Many years passed.

0:05:170:05:19

-One day, Elizabeth

-was walking through the forest.

0:05:200:05:23

-She heard a beautiful melody

-played by a harp.

0:05:240:05:27

-Who was playing the harp?

0:05:270:05:30

-She walked towards the music.

0:05:300:05:33

-What lovely music.

-You're a wonderful harp player.

0:05:370:05:41

-Who are you?

-I'm sure we've met before somewhere.

0:05:410:05:46

-You're right - in court.

-I remember you clearly.

0:05:470:05:51

-How could I forget

-such a beautiful face?

0:05:510:05:54

-Thank you.

0:05:540:05:56

-It was obvious

-that both were in love.

0:05:560:05:59

-They arranged to meet at the Mabsant

-Festival in Kenfig later that night.

0:06:020:06:09

-Elizabeth ran home...

0:06:090:06:11

-..full of hope for a night

-of enjoyment and dancing...

0:06:120:06:16

-..with Thomas in the festival.

0:06:160:06:19

-The Mabsant Festival

-was a party full of fun.

0:06:230:06:26

-Everyone enjoyed the violin music.

0:06:260:06:29

-Thomas noticed Elizabeth right away.

0:06:310:06:35

-She was so beautiful.

0:06:360:06:38

-He went to greet her.

0:06:390:06:41

-You look beautiful, Elizabeth.

-Would you like to dance?

0:06:440:06:47

-Please, Thomas.

0:06:480:06:49

-One, two, three.

0:06:490:06:52

-They danced the night

-away together...

0:06:550:06:57

-..enjoying every moment

-in each other's company.

0:06:580:07:02

-They were in love.

0:07:020:07:04

-Elizabeth was happy

-for the first time in years.

0:07:050:07:08

-From that night onwards,

-they met at every opportunity...

0:07:110:07:15

-..but there was one problem.

0:07:160:07:18

-Being with you is perfect but

-we have to keep our love secret.

0:07:180:07:22

-My father wants me to marry a

-rich man but you're the one for me.

0:07:230:07:27

-You're the one for me too,

-Elizabeth.

0:07:280:07:30

-Let us enjoy our time together.

-No-one will see us here.

0:07:310:07:35

-# Thomas the harpist

0:07:380:07:41

-# You're the one for me

0:07:410:07:44

-# You light up my life

-with your music

0:07:440:07:49

-# Wealth is more important

-to my father

0:07:500:07:54

-# He wants me to marry a rich man

0:07:540:07:58

-# What will I do?

0:07:580:08:01

-# Don't worry, sweetheart

0:08:050:08:08

-# You're the one for me

0:08:080:08:10

-# You light up my life

-with your beauty

0:08:100:08:16

-# Wealth is not important

0:08:160:08:19

-# Listen to me

0:08:190:08:22

-# We will be together,

-forever, my sweetheart

0:08:220:08:28

-# Sweethearts of Y Sger,

-sweethearts of Y Sger

0:08:290:08:34

-# We will have

-a bond of love forever

0:08:340:08:39

-# We will have

-a bond of love forever #

0:08:400:08:49

-They were so happy together

-but Mark Edwards was watching them.

0:08:520:08:57

-Ty'r Sger's servant

-spotted them one day.

0:08:580:09:01

-He was shocked to see Elizabeth

-with the poor harpist.

0:09:010:09:05

-He ran straight to Isaac

-to tell him what he had seen.

0:09:050:09:11

-I know everything

-about you and that Thomas Evans.

0:09:210:09:26

-A poor harpist

-isn't good enough for you.

0:09:260:09:29

-You can never see him again.

0:09:290:09:31

-Never ever.

0:09:310:09:33

-Never ever.

-

-But Father, I am in love.

0:09:330:09:34

-Thomas Evans is the man for me.

-I want to marry him.

0:09:350:09:38

-Marry? Marry?

-There's only one thing for it.

0:09:380:09:42

-You can marry Thomas... Kirkhouse.

0:09:420:09:46

-Who on earth is Thomas Kirkhouse?

0:09:460:09:49

-An important and wealthy man

-from Neath.

0:09:490:09:53

-He owns coalmines.

0:09:540:09:56

-Never ever. I love Thomas Evans.

0:09:560:09:58

-Go to your room and stay there.

0:09:590:10:01

-You will marry Thomas Kirkhouse

-next Friday.

0:10:020:10:06

-That's the end of the matter.

0:10:060:10:09

-The following Friday,

-Elizabeth married Thomas Kirkhouse.

0:10:120:10:16

-Her wedding day

-was a nightmare for her.

0:10:160:10:19

-Elizabeth knew

-she would never be happy again...

0:10:200:10:24

-..without Thomas the harpist.

0:10:240:10:26

-I will never forgive you for this.

-Never.

0:10:270:10:30

-From that day onwards,

-she never spoke to her father again.

0:10:300:10:34

-Her marriage to Thomas Kirkhouse

-was a sad one.

0:10:350:10:40

-Years later, Elizabeth

-was shopping in Swansea Market.

0:10:420:10:48

-She heard a familiar voice in

-the hustle and bustle of the market.

0:10:530:10:57

-Elizabeth recognised the voice

-immediately. It was Thomas Evans.

0:10:580:11:02

-He was singing about her.

0:11:030:11:04

-Elizabeth fainted.

0:11:060:11:08

-The shock of seeing and hearing

-Thomas was too much for her.

0:11:080:11:13

-Elizabeth spent a fortnight in

-front of the fire as she recovered.

0:11:150:11:22

-She became weaker and weaker.

0:11:220:11:25

-I have little time to live.

0:11:250:11:29

-When I die, find Thomas and tell him

-to sing my song to remember me by.

0:11:290:11:34

-Hush. I'll certainly do that.

0:11:340:11:38

-I will.

0:11:380:11:40

-That night,

-Elizabeth died quietly in her sleep.

0:11:410:11:44

-Janet went to find Thomas

-to share the sad news...

0:11:480:11:54

-..and asked him

-to sing the song about Elizabeth.

0:11:540:11:58

-I'll never forget her.

-Elizabeth was my true love.

0:11:580:12:02

-I will remember her

-each time I sing my song.

0:12:020:12:05

-A month later, in the Mabsant

-Festival in Kenfig's town hall...

0:12:060:12:12

-..Thomas Evans

-stood up in front of the audience...

0:12:120:12:16

-..to sing a song.

0:12:160:12:18

-Friends, I'd like to sing a song

-that's close to my heart.

0:12:180:12:22

-A song about a girl

-I will love forever.

0:12:220:12:24

-The girl from Ty'r Sger.

0:12:250:12:27

-# I'm a man

-who lives under a penance

0:12:280:12:33

-# I miss my true sweetheart

0:12:330:12:38

-# I love her more than anything

0:12:390:12:45

-# She won my heart

0:12:450:12:50

-# It's better to have loved and lost

0:12:510:12:56

-# Than never to have loved at all

0:12:570:13:03

-# Come to me happily, my sweetheart

0:13:030:13:08

-# I will love you forever more #
