  2. Centre of Pilgrimage edit In the medieval period the area became an important pilgrimage centre, known for Ffynnon Fair (English: Mary's Well), a holy well that still exists. Its chapel, shrine and hostelry were created to accommodate the large number of pilgrims. Penrhys was a pilgrimage site until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century, when the shrine was dismantled and its Statue of the Virgin taken to London where it was destroyed.

  4. The Shrine of "Our Lady" edit Legend tells that a statue of the Virgin Mary appeared in the branches of an oak tree near to the holy well. The statue was said to have been incredibly beautiful and a gift from heaven. Many people tried to remove the statue from the tree but it resisted all attempts to the point where 'Eight oxen could not have drawn the Image of Penrhys from its place...' The statue would only allow itself to be retrieved once the chapel and shrine were built. The original statue survived at Penrhys until 1538[10] when, under Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries, Bishop Latimer wrote to Thomas Cromwell suggesting the destruction of the shrine. With the shrine burned during the night, the statue was taken to London where it was publicly burned with other Catholic artifacts.

  6. Penrhys is often listed as one of the Monastic granges belonging to the Cistercian Llantarnam Abbey, but Penrhys is also said to have been established by Henry I of England or his son, Robert, 1st Earl of Gloucester, and the earliest documentation of the site (a land grant of 1203) refers to Penrhys as 'a manor'

  7. Industrial Penrhys edit In 1904 the mining population of Rhondda was over 110,000 and still expanding rapidly. Although a 'fever hospital' had been constructed in nearby Ystrad, the threat of smallpox had become a concern to the Medical Officer of Health, who recommended a separate containment site. In 1906 the Health Committee purchased three acres of land at Penrhys, chosen for its accessibility to both Rhondda valleys and its distance from other habitable buildings. The smallpox hospital was completed in 1907 and at first served the Rhondda and later all of South Wales. In the 1970s the building was deemed unnecessary and was burnt to the ground by the South Wales Fire Service in 1971.

  9. Today, Prince William visited Newport to hear about the local Coalition’s approach to preventing women’s homelessness in the city and unveil commitments from local organisations who have pledged their support. The engagement today included a visit to Newport Coalition member, The Nelson Trust, who play a pivotal role in delivering trauma-informed support for women in Newport. Here, The Prince and Homewards Advocate, Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton met with local women who have experienced homelessness and are part of a ‘Women of Newport’ photography series. Following this, The Prince and Sabrina met with businesses, charities and other organisations to hear about the commitments they are making to support Homewards Newport’s efforts to prevent and end women’s homelessness.

  13. Early history edit Three Bronze Age funerary sites have been identified in the locality of Penrhys, with the cemetery at Erw Beddau (English: Acre of graves), also associated with a latter battle between Iestyn ap Gwrgant and Rhys ap Tewdwr (c. 1085–88).[2] The community was named Pen-Rhys-ap-Tewdwr (English: Rhys ap Tewdwr's Head), and a variety of traditions record Rhys ap Tewdwr of Deheubarth as the original eponym of the later monastery and village. Since at least the 15th century, one tradition has recorded that following the battle of Hirwaun Wrgant Rhys was pursued into the Rhondda by Iestyn ap Gwrgant, King of Glamorgan and that Rhys was either beheaded at the site, or that his head was interred there. The Norman forces that assisted Iestyn are later said to have overthrown him as King of Glamorgan, and divide the lowlands of his kingdom amongst themselves.
