-# He makes me -to lie down in green pastures | 0:10:22 | 0:10:37 | |

-I'm joined by Tom Morris, treasurer -and chapel elder in Capel Seion. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
-We're next to Pistyll Rhaeadr -in all its glory. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:40 | |
-There's a connection -between the waterfall... | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
-..and one of Seion's -earliest ministers. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
-Yes indeed. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
-Capel Seion has had -numerous minsters over the years. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:53 | |
-It used to belong -to the Wesleyans.... | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
-..and the minister -would change regularly. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
-One of the most -well-known nationally... | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
-..was Reverend Tegla Davies. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
-He was a minister in Seion -and lived in Llanrhaeadr... | 0:12:04 | 0:12:08 | |
-..precisely 100 years ago, -during World War I. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
-He wrote many of his novels, -or surely started writing them... | 0:12:12 | 0:12:17 | |
-..while he was a minister -in Llanrhaeadr. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
-Hunangofiant Tomi, -Nedw, Gwr Pen y Bryn. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
-The most well-known he wrote here -was Tir y Dyneddon. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
-When Tegla -lived in Llanrhaeadr in 1917... | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
-..there was a very harsh winter. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:35 | |
-It was so harsh, -the waterfall froze. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:39 | |
-240 feet and it was frozen solid. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
-That inspired Tegla to write -the fantasy novel Tir y Dyneddon... | 0:12:43 | 0:12:50 | |
-..about fairies with -the frozen waterfall as a backdrop. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:55 | |
-Tegla Davies was renowned -in his own right... | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
-..but the area's most famous son -was William Morgan. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
-He became a bishop later in life. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
-William Morgan was the -parish priest between 1578 and 1595. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:13 | |
-During the first decade -of his stay here... | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
-..he translated -the entire Bible into Welsh. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:21 | |
-Without his hard work... | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
-..you and I wouldn't be -speaking Welsh as we know it today. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:29 | |
-I'm astounded how he managed -to complete such a masterpiece here. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:34 | |
-How much do we know of his time -in Llanrhaeadr? | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
-In all honesty, he translated the -Bible despite living in Llanrhaeadr. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:44 | |
-He incensed a member of the gentry -in a neighbouring parish, Llansilin. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:50 | |
-Ifan Meredydd, Lloran Uchaf. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
-There was a great falling out -between both... | 0:13:52 | 0:13:56 | |
-..throughout the time -William Morgan lived in the parish. | 0:13:56 | 0:14:00 | |
-William Morgan -walked extensively... | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
-..which comes -as no surprise in this area. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
-Legend has it that he translated -in a particular place. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:13 | |
-He had a summer house just above -the vicarage in Llanrhaeadr... | 0:14:13 | 0:14:19 | |
-..looking down on the village. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
-He would spend long hours there -working in peace... | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
-..away from the likes -of Ifan Meredydd, Lloran Uchaf. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:32 | |
-It is said he carried a pistol -under his coat... | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
-..because he feared the people -of Lloran. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
-Next, a performance. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
-Here's Sian James to sing -Rho Im Yr Hedd. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
-# Grant me the peace | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
-# Of which the world knows nothing | 0:17:51 | 0:17:57 | |
-# The heavenly peace | 0:17:57 | 0:18:02 | |
-# Which came from divine pain | 0:18:03 | 0:18:09 | |
-# When angry waves | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
-# On my weak soul are beating | 0:18:15 | 0:18:21 | |
-# It's quiet near the cross | 0:18:22 | 0:18:28 | |
-# Where He was slain | 0:18:28 | 0:18:36 | |
-# Grant us a taste of peace | 0:18:46 | 0:18:51 | |
-# Which helps us labour | 0:18:52 | 0:18:58 | |
-# In heaven's tasks | 0:18:58 | 0:19:04 | |
-# In spite of grievous pain | 0:19:04 | 0:19:10 | |
-# No need for fear | 0:19:11 | 0:19:16 | |
-# As we come daily safer | 0:19:16 | 0:19:22 | |
-# Closer to God | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
-# However harsh the strain | 0:19:27 | 0:19:36 | |
-# Oh, for the peace | 0:19:46 | 0:19:51 | |
-# Which floweth like a river | 0:19:51 | 0:19:57 | |
-# Through God's estate | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
-# Below the trees of heaven | 0:20:02 | 0:20:09 | |
-# The angel's peace | 0:20:09 | 0:20:14 | |
-# He's promised to deliver | 0:20:15 | 0:20:21 | |
-# Peace which will be | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
-# For us | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
-# A quiet Amen # | 0:20:28 | 0:20:37 | |
-Our final hymn is Ynot Arglwydd -Gorfoleddwn Yn Dy Gariad Llawenhawn. | 0:20:55 | 0:21:01 | |
