-Welcome to Straeon Tafarn, -with me, Dewi Pws Morris... | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
-..the man from Tresaith on tour! | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
-While touring Wales with Radwm... | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
-..I'm visiting interesting pubs -to hear local stories. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:42 | |
-Today, I'm far from home -in unfamiliar territory. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
-Wales's most famous love story -comes from this area. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
-I wouldn't be surprised if you're -in tears by the end of the show... | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
-..and not because of my singing! | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
-Pagans also live in the area. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
-They enjoy parading around -with horse skulls at Christmas time. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:13 | |
-# Fair dove on blue, -far glancing wing | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
-# Be thou love's loyal servant # | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
-This verse was composed -by the poet Dafydd Nicolas... | 0:01:22 | 0:01:27 | |
-..who was a teacher in this area. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
-I'm visiting the ancient parish -of Llangynwyd in Glamorganshire. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:36 | |
-Tonight, I'm performing -at The Cornerhouse Inn. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:41 | |
-It's next to St Cynwyd's church, -one of the oldest churches in Wales. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:59 | |
-Hasn't Dai Sgaffalde -done a good job!? | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
-Alan James dropped by to tell me -about the area's history. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
-How did the village get its name? | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
-Many villages in Glamorganshire -were named after a saint. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:16 | |
-The name Llangynwyd -derives from Saint Cynwyd. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
-Not much is known about the saint, -but his pedigree is mentioned. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:25 | |
-Traditionally, -villages in this district... | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
-..formed around the local church. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
-Churchgoers built villages -surrounding the churches. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:37 | |
-In addition to a church, -a village pub was required. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:42 | |
-However, this is a church -with a difference. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
-According to Alan, it has -the largest cemetery in Europe. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
-Maybe there's something in the air! | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
-He also mentioned a famous visitor -to the village. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:59 | |
-It's rumoured that Iolo Morganwg -passed through here... | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
-..while visiting various villages -in the district. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
-He enjoyed a meal -at one of the local taverns... | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
-..and visited the cemetery. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
-Even I've heard of Iolo Morganwg, -who was quite a character! | 0:03:16 | 0:03:21 | |
-Alan also mentioned an individual -I hadn't heard of - Cadrawd. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:27 | |
-He lived in the village... | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
-..and recorded -much of Llangynwyd's history... | 0:03:29 | 0:03:35 | |
-..as well as other stories -associated with Glamorgan. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
-He wrote History Of Llangynwyd, -which was published in 1887. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:45 | |
-In this book, -he mentioned the local tale... | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
-..of Wil Hopcyn and Ann Thomas, -the Maid of Cefn Ydfa. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
-We'll return to that story later, -because I've got a date. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:59 | |
-Eirwen Richards -from the local chapel... | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
-..can't wait to tell me -about Samuel Jones. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:08 | |
-He was a North Walian -who graduated from Oxford... | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
-..and was ordained -in Taunton, Somerset. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
-He became the vicar of Llangynwyd. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
-Samuel was quite a rebel -and walked out of his job. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:23 | |
-He wasn't thrown out, he walked out. -That's an important distinction. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
-Samuel refused to conform... | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
-..to the terms -of the 1662 Act of Uniformity. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
-Local people consider 1662 -to be an important year. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:40 | |
-Why is this? | 0:04:41 | 0:04:42 | |
-People refused to conform -to the doctrines of the Church. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:47 | |
-The Book of Common Prayer -introduced set services. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:52 | |
-There were many Nonconformists -during this period. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
-It was the dawn of a new era -for religion in Wales. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:02 | |
-Samuel walked out -and took the rebels with him! | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
-Yes, and he opened -a theological academy. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
-The theological colleges -of Swansea... | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
-..and Brecon... | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
-..and even -the University of Wales... | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
-..stem from Brynllywarch Academy, -and we're proud of this fact. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
-You have a right -to be proud, Eirwen! | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
-Following our conversation, -I ventured to the cemetery. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
-It's my age! | 0:05:34 | 0:05:35 | |
-I wanted to find -Samuel Jones's grave. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
-From the pulpit -to the coal mine. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
-This is Vernon Hartshorn's grave. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
-He was the first collier -to become a cabinet minister. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
-Inside the church, -we find the grave of Ann Thomas. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:57 | |
-She's the famous Maid of Cefn Ydfa. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
-There's something -quite peculiar here. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
-I'm not an academic historian... | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
-..but isn't it odd that -Ann's sweetheart, Wil Hopcyn... | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
-..is buried outside the church? | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
-Gareth Huw Ifan -explained the story. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
-She was the heiress -of the wealthy Cefn Ydfa farm. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:20 | |
-Wil Hopcyn -came to thatch their roof. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
-They fell in love -and would meet secretly. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
-However, Ann's mother, Catherine -disapproved of the relationship. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
-She wanted Ann to marry a lawyer, -Anthony Maddocks from Cwmrisca. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:39 | |
-Catherine forbade Ann -from seeing Wil... | 0:06:39 | 0:06:43 | |
-..but the couple wrote to each other -and arranged secret trysts. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:50 | |
-However, one of the housemaids -took a liking to Wil... | 0:06:50 | 0:06:54 | |
-..and told Catherine -about the love letters. | 0:06:54 | 0:07:00 | |
-As a result, Catherine removed -Ann's stationery and pens. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:05 | |
-The story mentions -a sycamore tree... | 0:07:05 | 0:07:10 | |
-..that still grows -on the farm today. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
-Ann removed some leaves... | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
-..pricked her skin -with a hairpin... | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
-..and wrote messages -on the leaves in blood. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
-Catherine made sure that Wil -wasn't employed in the area. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:28 | |
-Ann had no choice -but to marry Anthony Maddocks. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:33 | |
-They got married -and Ann had a baby... | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
-..but she fell ill -during childbirth. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
-Catherine did everything to get -Wil back and save her daughter. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:46 | |
-He travelled from Bristol -on horseback... | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
-..back to Cefn Ydfa at night. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:55 | |
-Wil arrived at Ann's bedside -and she passed away in his arms. | 0:07:55 | 0:08:01 | |
-That's heartbreaking, Gareth! | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
-It's an incredible love story. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
-Wil Hopcyn wrote about -the relationship... | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
-..in one of the greatest -Welsh love songs... | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
-..Bugeilio'r Gwenith Gwyn. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
-# Bugeilio'r Gwenith Gwyn # | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
-Oh, wasn't that nice? | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
-However, as Alan explains, -there are doubts about the story. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:30 | |
-Ann Thomas and Wil Hopcyn are cited -in the early 18th century... | 0:08:31 | 0:08:36 | |
-..but it's difficult -to find a link between them. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
-The marriage of Ann Thomas -to Anthony Maddocks is recorded... | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
-..whereas Ann's relationship -with Wil is not documented. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
-I'm reminded of an incident -with TH Parry-Williams... | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
-..when a person approached him -at a forum and asked... | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
-.."Are you implying that there are -such things as fairies?" | 0:08:57 | 0:09:03 | |
-He replied, -"Oh, no, but they do exist." | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
-It's an interesting debate. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
-I can understand why locals -believe in this legend. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:17 | |
-It belongs to their local tradition -and is important to the village. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:22 | |
-I'm fond of fairies -- I've met a few! | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
-I love the story -and the song that accompanies it. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
-As we poets say, -that Alan is a clever bloke. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:37 | |
-He knows the origin of the song too! | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
-Two versions of the song appear -in Iolo Morganwg's manuscripts. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:45 | |
-They also appear -in the 1844 publication... | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
-..Ancient National Airs -Of Gwent And Morganwg. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
-A year later, an article appeared -in The Cambrian newspaper... | 0:09:53 | 0:09:58 | |
-..by the wife of the vicar -of Llangynwyd, Pendril Llewelyn. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 | |
-That linked the song with the story -of the Maid of Cefn Ydfa. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
-From that point, the song -was associated with the tale. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
-"A simple youthful lad am I -Who lives at fancy's pleasure. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:18 | |
-"I fondly watch the blooming wheat, -Another reaps the treasure. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:22 | |
-"Oh! Wherefore still despise my -suit, why sighing keep thy lover? | 0:10:23 | 0:10:27 | |
-"For some new charm, thou matchless -fair, I day by day discover. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:33 | |
-"You're fairer with each passing day -Unless my eyes deceive me | 0:10:34 | 0:10:40 | |
-"May He who made your countenance -Endow me with His mercy. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:46 | |
-"Raise your head and turn your eyes, -Give me your hand this evening. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:52 | |
-"The key to unlock my aching heart -Lies in your warm embracing. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:59 | |
-"While hair adorns this aching brow -Still I will love sincerely | 0:10:59 | 0:11:06 | |
-"While ocean rolls its briny flow, -Still I will love thee dearly. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:11 | |
-"Then tell the truth, in secret -tell, and under seal discover | 0:11:11 | 0:11:16 | |
-"If it be I or who is blest -As thy true heart's best lover." | 0:11:17 | 0:11:23 | |
-The Maid of Cefn Ydfa is a tragic -but classic love story. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:32 | |
-A wealthy family ban their daughter -from marrying a commoner. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
-There's heartache, an unhappy -marriage and a life cut short. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:41 | |
-When will we learn? | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |

-888 - -888 | 0:11:48 | 0:11:49 | |
-I love touring with Radwm, meeting -locals and hearing their stories. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:57 | |
-This area of Wales -is steeped in ancient history. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
-The remains of the Roman invasion -are still visible today. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:06 | |
-They failed to conquer us -because we hid in the woods! | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
-There's something other-worldly -about this place. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
-I'm quite fond of areas -with long-established pubs. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:23 | |
-You can guarantee that old pubs -are haunted by ghosts. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:29 | |
-Sometimes, they lock this door -at night... | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
-..and by the morning, it's open. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
-Men have appeared in white shirts -or in Cromwellian soldiers' uniform. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:49 | |
-However, Cromwell's army -never visited this place. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:55 | |
-Sometimes, the figure of a man -appears in the shadows. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:04 | |
-However, his face lacks any form. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:09 | |
-When the pub is empty... | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
-..laughter and shouting -can be heard in the bar. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:21 | |
-When these strange events happen, -everyone says, "Wil is here." | 0:13:26 | 0:13:31 | |
-Why Wil? | 0:13:31 | 0:13:32 | |
-Well, Wil Hopcyn lived here -for a while. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
-Since his death, -people claim that his spirit... | 0:13:36 | 0:13:40 | |
-..quietly roams The Cornerhouse -at night. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:45 | |
-Strange occurrences -are common at The Cornerhouse. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
-Locals continue to uphold -bizarre traditions. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
-A group arrive at the pub... | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
-..guiding a bloke who's hiding -under a horse's skull and a blanket! | 0:14:00 | 0:14:04 | |
-# Well, gentle friends, -here we come | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
-# To ask may we have leave, -to ask may we have leave | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |

-# And what your names may be, -and what your names may be | 0:14:23 | 0:14:27 | |
-# And what your names may be? | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
-# If we may not have leave, -then listen to the song | 0:14:31 | 0:14:36 | |
-# That tells of our leaving, -that tells of our leaving | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
-# That tells of our leaving tonight | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
-# Let us hear, sincere men, -from whence you came | 0:14:43 | 0:14:48 | |
-# What it is you ask, -What it is you ask | 0:14:48 | 0:14:53 | |
-# What it is you ask, we demand? | 0:14:53 | 0:14:57 | |
-# There's no hope at all -for Dewi and his friends | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
-# To defeat the old Mari, -to defeat the old Mari | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
-# To defeat the old Mari tonight | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
-# Not a pussy cat, but a leopard -lies here on the carpet | 0:15:09 | 0:15:14 | |
-# To tame your puppet, -to tame your puppet | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |

-# At composing Welsh verses, -at composing Welsh verses | 0:15:25 | 0:15:29 | |
-# At composing Welsh verses tonight | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
-# I prefer to hear -a canary sing today | 0:15:32 | 0:15:37 | |
-# I'm purring like a cat, -I'm purring like a cat | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
-# I'm purring like a cat tonight | 0:15:41 | 0:15:46 | |
-# Just about! | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
-# Oh, tap the barrel -and let it flow freely | 0:15:48 | 0:15:53 | |
-# Don't pour it too sparingly, -don't pour it too sparingly | 0:15:53 | 0:15:57 | |
-# Don't pour it -too sparingly tonight # | 0:15:57 | 0:16:01 | |
-What night does this take place? | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
-Traditionally, in mid January, -on the Old New Year's Eve. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:11 | |
-Why has the tradition -remained in this area? | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
-The locals have kept -this age-long tradition alive. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:19 | |
-The Mari Lwyd -is a custom in Llangynwyd. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
-I initially heard -about this tradition... | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
-..from my uncle, who lived -in Llwyn Brain as a child. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:34 | |
-He recalled the Mari Lwyd -coming across Brynllywarch fields. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:39 | |
-This was over 100 years ago. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
-The Mari Lwyd tradition -is being modernized. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:46 | |
-It's quite likely -that in the future... | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
-..a car or jeep will escort -the Mari Lwyd around the farms. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
-# To warm the spirit tonight # | 0:16:54 | 0:16:59 | |
-Come in, boys. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
-I don't know about you, -but I'm totally confused. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
-Fortunately, Alan James -knows what's going on... | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
-..so I'll ask him. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
-What's the significance -of these witty rhymes? | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
-They were a means -to gain entry into a house. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |
-If the Mari Lwyd party was -successful in the rhyme contest... | 0:17:18 | 0:17:24 | |
-..they were invited indoors. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
-However, if the inhabitants -were more successful... | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
-..the Mari Lwyd didn't gain entry. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
-So, it's a pagan ritual? | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
-Yes, it belonged to a world -that relied upon external forces. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:42 | |
