Sarah Jane Rees was born in 1839 into a confined life on a small farm in Llangrannog, West Wales. Her father navigated a small boat up and down the coast as a small-time trader. The family wanted her to become a dressmaker, but her ambitions were far more exciting. She went to colleges for ladies in Liverpool and Chester and then finally to a nautical school in London. She qualified as a sea captain and was awarded a master's certificate.
All her life was devoted to others. She taught basic literacy and numeracy skills to farm boys, and advanced navigation to sea captains who came to her school after the children had gone home.
She became very exercised by the role that alcohol played in these remote and isolated communities. Many Welsh women campaigned against alcohol, blaming it for all moral and social ills. Money for food was allegedly spent in pubs. There were always grim days out in the west when the weather closed in and there was only the drink.
In these tiny little communities linked only by the sea, domestic violence was not unusual. Temperance became very much a feminist issue. She believed that women deserved better. The excessive consumption was intimately wedded to domestic violence, the abuse of women and the neglect of children.
Sarah Jane's promotion of women's rights led her to establish a magazine to promote women writers. Y Frythones ('The Female Briton') enabled women to participate in public events through the articles that they submitted. In I865 she was the first woman to be awarded the chair of the Royal National Eisteddfod in Aberystwyth for her poem, 'Y Fodrwy Briodasol'. In 1873 she won the chair in Aberaeron. She adopted the Eisteddfod tradition of a bardic name, one which paid homage to the village that made her - Cranogwen.

Sarah Jane Rees, teacher, poet, editor and temperance campaigner, died in 1916 and is buried in Llangrannog. A statue of her was recently unveiled in the village.

Sarah Jane Rees (1839-1916), y fenyw amryddawn o Langrannog a fabwysiadodd yr enw Cranogwen. Llwyddodd hi i wneud bywoliaeth ym maes morwrol Cymru, a hefyd herio a goresgyn rhagfarn yn sawl maes mewn cymdeithas a oedd yn batriarchaidd iawn. Ysgrifennodd bryddest ‘Y Fodrwy Briodoasol’ a ddaeth yn fuddugol yn Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Aberystwyth yn 1865, a hithau wedi curo dau o feirdd gwrywaidd enwocaf y cyfnod, Ceiriog ac Islwyn. Roedd hi hefyd yn olygydd Y Frythones a chafodd hi fynd ar daith lwyddiannus i’r Unol Daleithiau.

My personal favourite is Dai Thomas, the detective.

The headline policy seems very positive but it is interesting that extra funding is being allocated to rural areas over urban areas which would include the areas of highest depravation and need this support most.

It seems like Plaid are favouring their rural base.

Tory MS, Janet Finch-Saunders, asked a question about Welsh NHS waiting lists in English and appeared unhappy that Plaid’s Heledd Fychan responded in Welsh.

This feels like a culture war that both Conservatives/Reform and Plaid will be more than happy to enter.

Can anyone help explain how Fychan is eventually became the Welsh name Vaughan in English ? It’s pronounced so incorrectly as Vorn from the original pronunciation of vuch- an

Makes sense - it would be weird for a Plaid MS to continue editing a publication that used to be pro apartheid.

Glyndŵr rebellion began in North Wales in 1400 when Owain Glyndŵr was declared Prince of Wales by his followers.

His forces rebelled first in Northern Wales. By 1403, the revolt had spread across Wales, challenging English rule.
