Y Dyfawden

Pentref a chymuned yn Sir Fynwy yw Y Dyfawden (Saesneg: Devauden).

Saif i'r gogledd-orllewin o dref Cas-gwent ar y ffordd B4293. Mae'r
gymuned hefyd yn cynnwys pentref bychan Fedw. Dywedir i John Wesley
bregethu ei bregeth gyntaf yng Nghymru yn y Dyfawden ar 15 Hydref 1739.

Ceir Croes Cilgwrwg yn yr eglwys leol, a gofrestrwyd gan Cadw.

I like to think the name is a corruption of Ffawydden (Birch) so the name
Devauden does not have a translation as it stands.

Bill

Sorry, Bill, it's beech, not birch. Bedwen is birch - hence bedw/fedw
and its corruptions.

Cheers, Jake

Don't apologise Jake it is entirely my fault. I know it's beech but I still
typed Birch.

Living so near to Birchgrove - Gellifedw I shouldn't have made

At least I'm keeping you on your toes :-)

And they are very damp toes. I still have about quarter of an inch of
water on top of the back lawn surface. When I "built" the pond I
provided for an overflow system which I thought would take care of the
wettest winter. That's been overwhelmed and I think the pond banks are
in danger of collapsing now, particularly as resident cat won't stay
off them. He's already been in the water once this year after a
mini-collapse but didn't seem to mind in the least. Indeed, he
objected to my attempts to remove him from the water!
