| Description | Mainly between Lord Boston (who seemed averse to the project, as he held only 4 acres property in the parish) and the office of Woods and Forests (who, if the inclosure was affected at all, wished the award to include the whole Mynydd, whether in Llanfihangel or Penrhoslligwy). If the Penrhos part of the common were to be included, then the Penrhos tenants who enjoyed rights of common should be consulted; this led Lord Boston to state categorically (dorse of 752) that neither he nor his tenants claimed any such right in “Ll. Tre’r Beirdd, and led also to a meeting of the more ancient inhabitants of Penrhos (754 – 4 March, 1865) to go once more into the question of the exact boundary between the two parishes (it is indeed possible, almost certain, that the documents of 1844 (759-762) were produced at this juncture). In the correspondence with the Office of the Woods &c., it seemed that the Crown desired to push a claim to the manor of Penrhos (753) and to imply that part of the parish of Penrhos, at least, lay in the hundred of Dindaethwy. The combating of this claim involved consulting ancient records (which accounts for the extracts from the “Record of Caernarvon”, 755) and ancient men, and drew from John Williams of Treffos, then an old man of 81 years, and formerly Reciever-General for North Wales, a very definite rebutter to the assertion that any part of Penrhos was in Dindaethwy (757). As far as these 13 papers go, the Mynydd Bodafon project proved abortive. |
