Mae’r erthygl yn egluro’r heriau a wynebodd Edwards a’r ffordd y trawsnewidiodd ei gorff o arolygwyr trwy benodi arolygwyr o Gymru a fedrai’r Gymraeg a gosod amcanion newydd i’w gwaith hwy ac i waith ysgolion. Rhoddodd flaenoriaeth i’r Gymraeg ac i Gymreictod y cwrs addysg a chael gwell llwyddiant mewn ysgolion elfennol nag mewn ysgolion canolradd. Eglurir y rhwystrau a’r grymoedd y ceisiodd eu goresgyn dros gyfnod ei yrfa a rhoddir gwerthusiad o natur y llwyddiant a gafodd. \nSpeaker: Ann Keane\, Cyn Brif Arolygydd y Mawrhydi dros Addysg a Hyfforddiant yng Nghymru \nIn the chair: Sioned Bowen\, Member of Council URL:https://www.cymmrodorion.org/talk/o-m-edwards-a-chymreictod-ysgolion-cymru/ CATEGORIES:Video ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.cymmrodorion.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/O.M.-EDWARDS-A-CHYMREICTOD-YSGOLION-CYMRU-main-image.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20210524T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20210524T203000 DTSTAMP:20260405T134136 CREATED:20190821T145643Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210712T091154Z UID:3269-1621881000-1621888200@www.cymmrodorion.org SUMMARY:'The Dragon and The Crescent’.

He was very well-known among those who\, like himself\, were prominent civil servants but perhaps less well known to the Welsh public generally. Thomas’ early career was given to adult education in Wales\, an important social\, cultural\, as well as educational movement in the first half of the century. Warden of Coleg Harlech (1927-1940) and Director of Extra-Mural Studies\, University College\, Aberystwyth (1940-1941)\, he was seconded to the Ministry of Labour and National Service in Wales\, beginning a civil service career in which he became Permanent Secretary to the Welsh Department\, Ministry of Education (1945–63). This lecture examines Thomas’ contribution to international educational and cultural development in the light of this experience; and through his long association with UNESCO after 1946 in which he became Chair of its Executive Board (1958- 1960). This was a period of post-war reconstruction in a divided Europe riven by the competing ideologies of communist state socialism and capitalist parliamentary democracy. It also saw a retreat from imperialism and the emergence of post-colonial non-aligned countries. UNESCO reflected these tensions and received severe criticism notably from the United States for its allegedly pro-Soviet and anti-Western bias. Thomas was knighted in 1950\, was a member of the Commission on the Constitution (1969–73)\, and was awarded the Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion Medal (1976). \nProfessor W.

Access will be via this page; no registration is needed. \nAlmost all scholars of medieval Welsh texts will have come across manuscripts in the hand of John Jones of Gellilyfdy\, Flintshire (c.1580–1658)\, a competent scribe who copied countless texts\, of prose and poetry\, in a beautifully clear calligraphic hand\, often decorated with his signature knotwork and ornate capital letters. However\, John Jones was no mere copyist and there is plenty of evidence that he was working towards producing a Welsh dictionary. Whilst incarcerated in the Fleet Prison in London (as a debtor) in the early 1630s\, he produced three books of wordlists\, covering many aspects of everyday life. The lists provide us with an invaluable insight into the life and language of a Flintshire-based gentleman in the early 17th century\, whilst also adding greatly to the known Welsh vocabulary of the period. \nProfessor Ann Parry Owen\, University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh & Celtic Studies and University of Wales Dictionary \nChaired by Professor Helen Fulton\, Member of Council URL:https://www.cymmrodorion.org/talk/paper-ink-and-four-walls-john-jones-of-gellilyfdy-and-his-prison-project/ CATEGORIES:Video ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.cymmrodorion.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/PaperInk-Detail.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20210223T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20210223T200000 DTSTAMP:20260405T134136 CREATED:20201210T172219Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210317T140405Z UID:4144-1614105000-1614110400@www.cymmrodorion.org SUMMARY:“I have a dream”? Iorwerth Cyfeiliog Peate and the creation of the Welsh Folk Museum DESCRIPTION:In association with the Montgomeryshire Society\nThe June Gruffydd Memorial Lecture \nAll are welcome to join this talk\, which will be live and with questions. Access will be via this page; no registration is needed. \nIorwerth Peate is known in Wales as a poet and man of letters but above all as the founder of the Welsh Folk Museum (now the National Museum of History) at St Fagans; but Peate was also an embellisher of his own mythology. In this lecture one of his successors as head of the Folk Museum will examine Peate’s role in the creation of St Fagans in the context of the National Museum of Wales’s long-expressed aspiration to develop its collection of social history material and present those objects to the public in an open-air museum. The lecture will also look briefly at developments at the site after Peate’s retirement and attempt to evaluate how he would have regarded them. \nSpeaker: Dr Eurwyn Wiliam \nChaired by John Eifion Jones\, President of the Montgomery Society URL:https://www.cymmrodorion.org/talk/i-have-a-dream-iorwerth-cyfeiliog-peate-and-the-creation-of-the-welsh-folk-museum/ CATEGORIES:Video ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.cymmrodorion.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/st-fagans-main.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20210126T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20210126T200000 DTSTAMP:20260405T134136 CREATED:20201204T075022Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210317T140442Z UID:4127-1611685800-1611691200@www.cymmrodorion.org SUMMARY:The Legacy of the Peace Movement in Wales 1914-1918 DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to join this talk\, which will be live and with questions. Access will be via this page; no registration is needed. \nThis talk analyses the impact of the Opposition to the Great War in Wales\, and how it influenced attitudes through the twenties and thirties through to the Second World War. \nWhat happened to those conscientious objectors and others who resisted the war effort and whose principles were challenged by the economic ruin of the twenties and rise of fascism in the 1930s?

However\, the records of individual practices have often been at risk of loss and finding and using architectural papers can be challenging. This illustrated talk will explore some of the richest Welsh architectural records and their potential applications – in research\, education\, management of the built environment and inspiration for contemporary design. It will describe the new project to encourage the preservation and use of architectural archives led by the Royal Society of Architects in Wales in collaboration with the principal archival bodies. \nDr Peter Wakelin writes about art and heritage. He undertook the feasibility study that led to the formation of Architectural Archives Advisory Panel for Wales in 2019. He was formerly Secretary of the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales and Director of Collections at Amgueddfa Cymru-National Museum Wales. \nChaired by: Rhian Medi Roberts\, Member of Council \n  URL:https://www.cymmrodorion.org/talk/designing-wales-an-archive-for-welsh-architecture/ CATEGORIES:Video ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.cymmrodorion.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Elevation-of-Libanus-Chapel-Morriston.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201020T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20201020T200000 DTSTAMP:20260405T134136 CREATED:20200918T063841Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201113T075301Z UID:3977-1603218600-1603224000@www.cymmrodorion.org SUMMARY:The Jews of Wales DESCRIPTION:Dr Cai Parry-Jones: Ph.D FRHistS\nCurator and oral historian specialising in digital and Jewish heritage\n \nSYNOPSIS\nCai Parry-Jones‘s book  “The Jews of Wales- A History” is a key study of the presence of Jews in Wales over the centuries starting from the 13th century. However\, as Parry-Jones shows\, there is little mention of Jews in Wales until Jewish communities were first recorded in the 18th Century with major settlement dating from the 19th century. In this introductory talk\, Dr Parry-Jones provides an overview of this relatively unknown aspect of our nation’s history\, as well as answers to some of the most oft-asked questions surrounding the topic. \nCHAIR\nCeridwen Roberts OBE FLSW FAcSSS\, Chair of the Cymmrodorion URL:https://www.cymmrodorion.org/talk/the-jews-in-wales/ CATEGORIES:Video ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.cymmrodorion.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/jews-of-wales-header.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20200924T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20200924T200000 DTSTAMP:20260405T134136 CREATED:20200810T092722Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200918T093340Z UID:3846-1600972200-1600977600@www.cymmrodorion.org SUMMARY:Cancelled Disestablishing the Welsh Anglican church: a study in political intrigue and popular frustration DESCRIPTION:Regrettably this event has been cancelled.

She is best known today through television adaptations of her two major novels\, Y Wisg Sidan / The Silk Gown (1939) and Y Graith / The Scar (1943) on S4C at the turn of the last century. Morgan’s work was critically and popularly acclaimed in its day\, too: she was the first woman to win the Prose Medal at the National Eisteddfod in 1938\, for Y Graith\, and was awarded numerous further Eisteddfod prizes too. At the same time\, Morgan’s moving accounts of women’s lives and hardships in rural Wales found a large popular readership and went into numerous editions\, and later\, radio serialisations. \nThis lecture explores Morgan’s life and work\, and argues that her writing is astonishing in its audacity\, breaking new literary ground in its accounts of themes which were – and indeed\, remain even today – scandalous. This work stands out\, too\, for its compassion and sensitivity towards its characters\, and can be recognised as a major landmark in modern Welsh writing. \nSpeaker: Dr Mererid Puw Davies FLSW Associate Professor\, Head of German at UCL \nIn the chair: John Jones\, Chair of the Montgomeryshire Society URL:https://www.cymmrodorion.org/talk/the-novelist-elena-puw-morgan-rethinking-modernism/ LOCATION:The Medical Society of London\, 11 Chandos Street\, London\, W1G 9EB\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Podcast ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.cymmrodorion.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/RETHINKING-MODERNISM-Web-Main-Image.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
