History of Llangollen and Its Vicinity: Including a Circuit of About Seven Miles
Simpson, W. T. (Wilfrid Tord)
Llangollen (Wales)
{62b} These dates may have been some years later. In a MS. obligingly
lent to me, it is stated, “Dissolved by statute of Henry VIII. 1561, at
which time it was rated in the King’s Books at 214_l._ 3_s._ 3_d._:” so
that it was wholly decayed, as Camden has it, in twenty-five years.
{62c} This is the year in which Camden’s Latin Edition appeared;
consequently, this survey must have been made before.

{65d} A ploughland is nearly one hundred acres.

{69a} Pennant, vol. 1, p. 399.
{69b} Although Pennant spells the second Cateli with two letters of T,
yet it has been published by others with only one; and as the name in
both instances refers to the same person, I have adopted the latter
course.

{78a} About seven miles from Llangollen, and not far from Glyndyfrdwy,
on the Corwen road, there is a meadow called “Dôl Benig,” or Head Meadow,
where this scheme was practised.

{81} Pennant, vol. 1, p. 328. Iolo Goch says—“Owen’s Palace had a
gate-house; was surrounded with a moat; had nine halls, furnished with
the wardrobes of his retainers; had a house adjoining, built of wood, and
covered with tiles, designed for his guests. The office of porter was
useless; locks and bolts were unknown; and no one could be hungry or dry
at Sycharth.” So Mr. Pennant spells it.
