The land was presented toNewport Council by LordTredegar in 1891 and the parkwas opened in September1894. The Gorsedd Stone Circlewas erected in 1896, for theNational Eisteddfod, held inBelle Vue Park in 1897. Thebowling greens were opened in1904 and a Tea House added in1910. In 1924 the adjoininghouse and grounds of Belle VueHouse came into the council’sownership and the additional11 acres of land were absorbedinto the park, which nowextends to 26 acres.The Friends of NewportOrnamental Parks| was set up in2006 to work with Newport CityCouncil on the management ofBelle Vue and Beechwood parks.It won the prestigious Green Flag

Have you visited Belle Vue Parkrecently?

Beechwood House, a Grade IIlisted building, was built in1877/78 by Habershon, Pite andFawkner, architects of Cardiff andNewport. It was built as theprivate residence for GeorgeFothergill, a tobaccomanufacturer and former Mayorof Newport.

The 30 acre park originally formedthe private grounds to the House.In 1900 Newport BoroughCouncil bought BeechwoodHouse and the grounds wereopened up as a public park, withrefreshments available in theHouse. During the First World War

the House was also used as aconvalescent home.

Beechwood House was occupiedby American Forces during WorldWar II and following this it had anumber of uses including a

hospital for the treatment oftuberculosis, an open air schooland a model railway club.

Beechwood Park is one ofNewport’s best loved openspaces.

Beechwood House The view from Beechwood Park is wonderful, from the top of the park you are able to experience the amazing panoramic views across Newport and the Channel. The peace and beauty of the park is calming and relaxing. We are fortunate to have such beauty in an urban area,enabling us to enjoy nature on our doorstep.

A Spring in the Step Across NewportAt long last, Newport is fi nally on the map for all the right reasons.

The second half of 2017brought a varied selection ofoutings for GG. In September,we travelled to Barry and theAmelia Trust Farm for theirHarvest Festival Open day,which is the biggest fund raiserof the year. This was a returnvisit, and the previous year wehad danced in June in thesunshine at their summer fete,but unfortunately on 9thSeptember the weather wasvery changeable and thedecision was made to clear aspace inside, with some of thecraft stalls, for us and the TaiKwando demonstration thatfollowed us. We displayed afew of our traditional Welshdances and then got some ofthe audience (mainly children)to join in with us for somesimple ceilidh dances.Later in September on the 28thwe paid a return visit to RiscaU3A’s monthly social meeting togive them a taste of Welshculture, which included somedance displays and a chance forU3A members to join in. Thesession was once again puttogether by Barbara Griffiths withdance instructor Ceri, and shewas able to re-use that format,translated into Welsh, for anevening at Stow Park ChurchCentre with Newport WelshSociety on October 20th, andvery successful it was too.Before that, on October 17th, wetravelled to Shirenewton to theprimary school

as part of one of thechildren’senrichmentsessions. Thechildren get tochoose whichsubjects theywould like forthese sessions,and dance isone of thecategories on offer. We gavedance displays to two sets ofchildren, got them to join in, andBarbara interspersed this withsome oral Welsh culture. Our final booking of the yearcame on a very snowy 13thDecember at Llanhilleth MinersInstitute, for Coleg Gwent’s adultWelsh learner’s Christmas party.The evening was very wellattended despite the weather,and well respected Welsh folksinger Gwilym Bowen Rhys waspart of the entertainment alongwith GG. Unfortunately, we had to

cut short ourprogramme as feeding 120people took a lot longer thananticipated, and the evening ranout of time. We only had a chanceto display three of our prepareddances, and then call just threedances in Welsh for a twmpath(ceilidh) that was supposed to lastwell over an hour. Disappointing,but as long as the audienceenjoyed what we did, we arehappy. We hope to be invitedback this year when hopefully thetimings will be better.

Gwerinwyr Gwent Diary

Gwerinwyr Gwent would love to recruit some new dancers,especially men! Welsh dance steps are basic and few, it is just thepatterns of the dances that need to be learned. We would also bevery pleased to encourage extra musicians to join our little band.Practice night is Thursday 8-10pm at the Graig Community Hall,Bassaleg (opposite the Ruperra Arms). Either just come along,ring 01495 271953 for more details, or check out our website

We seek to be Word-centred and gospel-driven.The Word of God is crucial! The ministry of Grace Baptist Assembly will, we trust, alwayskeep God’s Word central. Why? The Holy Bible is God’s written Word; it is how He has

chosen to communicate to us who He is, what He has been doing, and what He expects ofus. The Bible alone holds the ultimate, most trustworthy, most authoritative answers to the

questions of life and eternity. Thus, rather than magnifying the ideas of mere human beings, we look instead to God, trusting that He inspired and preserved His Word for Hisglory and our good. We believe that the written Word is a reflection of the Living Word,Jesus Christ, and that its contents are our reliable, sufficient rule of faith and practice.

When a moral question is raised, or when we face a difficult circumstance, we choose toresort to the Bible for guidance, correction or comfort, rather than falling back on our own

experiences and opinions.

We seek to be traditional in our message.We hold to historical Baptist distinctives. Specifically, we are fond of The First London Baptist Confession of Faith, 1646 edition. We gladly accept broken, unaccomplished,

needy sinners like ourselves; but we are not seeker-driven. We do not believe that ‘doingchurch’ is what God requires of people, and we do not believe that it is this or any other

local church’s responsibility to water down, nor add to, the gospel of Jesus Christ in orderto create a more ‘comfortable’ environment. Do we want that gospel [good news] to be

understandable? Yes. Do we ourselves want to be compassionate and inclusive? Yes. Wewant broken people - people like us - who know their sinfulness. We are here for those who

know that they need something more than what this life has to offer. We seek not to offermore of the same, but to offer something different. The person and work of Jesus Christ is

enough for us. We invite you to come see why.

We seek to be relevant in our vision.We maintain that the Bible is more than a collection of ancient writings, but rather, it

contains everything we need to face the problems of life in today’s culture. Consequently,our teaching and preaching will include practical application to help us live as we ought to

live. We are not an elite group of those who have ‘arrived’ and we are committed to continual change. We rest on and submit to the absolute, unchanging truth of the Bible;

and it in turn changes us. We hear and meditate on God’s Word - and while we do that, wetry to be doers of that Word, and not hearers only. We have found that the unchangingtruths of the Bible affect our everyday lives, and we pray that we will become more and

more like Jesus Christ as we submit to and obey His Word.

GRACE BAPTIST ASSEMBLY gathers for public worship on Sunday afternoons at the Malpas Community Centre, Pillmawr Road, at 3 pm. Excerpt from: HE THAT HATH THE SON HATH LIFE, a message delivered on the afternoon of

28 January 2018, from I John 5:11-13.

it seems to me that the one message we should focus on from this passage is the one utterly crucial How can I have eternal life?

Himself has testified in answer to this question.

was any testimony in the couAnd this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his

Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. He that

hath the Son hath life eternal God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

So, what does it mean to HAVE nuances. For example, it does

HAVE something, it does its thing for you.

If you have a fiver, it buys concentrate. If you have an attorney, he represents your interests. Having a particular thing means that it does something for you - either good or bad.

Now, the He that hath the Son hath lifehaving the Son means: if you have the Son, then the Son does His thing for you. If you want to spend one of the most

hat can

down the list, and beside every one of them write: He does this thing for ME! What He can do, He does for ME. What He promises to ME HAVE the Son.

And John sums it all up in the word LIFE. Whoever has the Son has life! Eternal life is not just the extension of all the frustrations and half-joys of this life. When Jesus finishes doing His thing, every frustration will be gone, and every half- I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

If you HAVE the Son, it means that ANYTHING that infinite love and infinite power and infinite wisdom can do for your good, WILL, in fact, be done for you.

Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, FOR THY SAKE WE ARE KILLED ALL THE DAY LONG; WE ARE ACCOUNTED AS SHEEP FOR THE SLAUGHTER. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us -37).

Whoever has the Son has One who can take all tribulation and distress and persecution and peril, and turn it, so that out of it comes not just a wounded soldier -

more than conquerorsthem for your good. You - your enemy serves you!

So, if you want to be more than just a survivor, and indeed, more than a conqueror in the battles of life, then you must HAVE He that hath the Son hath life - all the life that an omnipotent God can give.

he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.everyone has the Son, and so not everyone has eternal life. It is infinitely important to know how to have the Son.

These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life


verse 13 says that those who believe He that hath the Son hath life HAVE the Son is to BELIEVE the Son.

Or another way to put it is that the Son of God does His thing for those who trust Him. You can have the Son of God, if you trust the Son of God.

Some of you may remember me using an illustration at a funeral about five years ago from the film called, - as I recall it was released in the mid-1980s when Patti was working at the cinema in

young Indian doctor who had been arrested for allegedly assaulting a young English woman in India. The case became an explosive point of tension between the Indian people, who longed for independence, and the British colonial government. The entire colonial power severybody knew his integrity was above question. He was much too poor to be able to afford an attorney.

But the most famous and able lawyer in all of India heard of the case. He had a reputation for liking to take on the British and stand up for the Indian underdogs. One of the most powerful scenes in the film was when two of the

- and then, as if it were

Now, the doctor has a lawyer. He HAS a lawyer. The lawyer is going to do his thing for the doctor. All his reputation; all his eloquence; all his skill is now going to be used to save the doctor.

Now, how did the doctor come to HAVE HAVE a

he come to have the best attorney in India? It starts with the motivation of the lawyer. This lawyer has two goals: the liberation of India from the British;

and the glorification of his own legal skills. When the camera picks him up in a tumultuous court

really loves is the liberation of India and the display of his skills for the helpless doctor, his services are not for sale. He will not be paid. That would call into question what he really loves.

And so, how does the doctor come to have this lawyer? The lawyer makes a free offer, and the doctor hears the offer and accepts it. He trusts that the lawyer means it, and he believes the lawyer can do it. He HAS the lawyer because he TRUSTS the lawyer.

And just so it is with the Son of God! He has two goals: the liberation of His people from sin and death, and the glorification of His own powers. That is the origin of salvation. That is the source of eternal life. And to show that

not be paid. So how do you come to HAVE the Son of God? He makes you a free offer, and you accept His offer - you

trust Him. He does His thing for those who trust in Him. Whoever has the Son has life. t you can

none of us can handle our case by ourselves. We are far worse off than the doctor was, because,

And d

to do anything

Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him;

and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him -7).

Trust in the Son of God and you will HAVE the Son of God. G He that hath the Son hath life eternal.

Raising awareness for MACS -two marathons in one week Just yesterday I found my first

ever medal, Great South Run

2007, I realised I have been

running for more than 10 years

and the milestone had just

passed me by. For 10 years I

have run, not always far and not

always! But I find myself coming

back to it; to keep fit, to

challenge myself but most

importantly to find solitude.

Running has become part of me

and something I have always

done just for me, until now! This

April I take on the challenge of

running two marathons in one

week to help raise awareness

for a small but amazing charity:

MACS helps support children,

and their families, who are born

without eyes or with under

developed eyes (registered

charity 1161897).

As a glasses wearer, I am at

times frustrated that I can’t see

without them but this cannot be

compared with those who have

little or no sight. Recently, I had

the chance to help a visually

impaired child learn how to run.

Something I have just taken for

granted!

In April, I will be running for

those whom it is not easily

accessible. Every time I put on

my trainers I remember to

absorb my surroundings and

enjoy every step because I can.

You will find me on the canal

path from Newport to

Cwmcarn, often incorporating

the Sirhowy Valley for double

digit runs, or you may even see

me running to Newport or the

Riverfront Parkrun.

Under the leadership of MrsElizabeth Buttigeig who raisedmoney for the seventh year bybaking over 200 cup cakesevery month, her efforts wereonce again poured intoorganizing a fantasticChristmas luncheon party for150 guests.From north, south, east and west

of Gwent ex-service people from

twenty three branches/

organisations mustered at the

NSO business centre to be

welcomed into a very real

Christmas atmosphere of peace,

good will and joy by Mrs

Elizabeth Buttigeig, Mr John

Pullinger, the many helpers and

the Mayor Cllr David Fouweather

and Mayoress Mrs Paula

Fouweather.

Staff including Mr Jon Pullinger,

Mr Ian Bell, Ms Jan Jones and

Mr Scott Howell ushered guests

to tables beautifully set and

laden with crackers, hats and all

the Christmassy trimmings. Party

spirit was spontaneous, meeting

old friends and comrades,

settling into an afternoon of fun,

very good company and of being

embraced by caring people.

Following the welcome, in the

nature of the Nation’s Services,

past service people were

remembered with reverence and

deep respect by the sounding of

the Last Post by Blackwood’s

William Bader, followed by the

Silence and Reveille. The

Exhortation and Kohima was

delivered by Gwent Royal British

Legion Chairman, Stephen

Pennells of Ebbw Vale and

Beaufort.

So, into a right royal luncheon,

move over celebrity chefs,

turkey, all the trimmings and

abundance of wine, the pulling of

crackers and wearing of fun hats;

staff wearing fun tinsel hair

trimmings and all the time

dancing attendance on the

guests.

Entertainment was fantastic, the

NSO Choir was in the very best

of voice and in no time a great

sing-along happened. The 1940s

songs provided by The Cats

Pyjamas from Bristol brought

back memories; the tapping of

feet could be heard and more

than one guest could be seen

reminiscing a story, a place, a

person, a time, a group… and

was that a tear or two? The room

was filled with the sound of

Welsh voices singing, everyone

joining in when the Welsh

National Anthem was sung by

the Choir of the Dragons and

then to the delight of all a multi,

multi magnificent prize raffle was

drawn.

19.00 hours and time for

farewells and Christmas wishes

all around but generosity had not

ended, as guests departed they

were presented with gifts that

had been donated by Nagra of

Cwmbran.

As a guest, looking back over the

amazing festive gathering,

brought about by people who

care and are willing to band

together to make a special day

for others and to share their

good fortune of health and

happiness, one comes to the

conclusion that the spirit of

Christmas is very much alive and

well.

It must also be said that it is the

mark of successful management

and staff when all come together

to share joy and good will with

others and so to all at the

Newport Division of the National

Statistics Office from all who

came together on the 14th

December a huge THANK YOU.

May the year ahead be one of

good health and happiness and

may the Division continue in its

remarkable success and

compassion.

To reach the village of Skenfrith,continue along the B4347 forabout 3½ miles and at the cross-roads turn left onto the B4521and continue for ½ a mile toreach Skenfrith. The name ofSkenfrith may be translated fromthe Welsh, Ynys Cynfraeth, as theisland where Cynfraeth (a 6thCentury Welsh Chieftain) builthis fortress. The castle, mill,church and inn make anattractive centre of the littlevillage.Soon after entering the village theremains of the old castle will beseen. This was one of the firstcastles to be constructed in thecounty, and the first owner wasBach, the brother of Aeddanowner of Grosmont. This firstcastle was probably a simplewooden construction situated onan earthen mound. After theNorman Conquest, the castle wasgained by Hamelyn the conquerorof Gwent and then passed to hisnephew Brian de Wallingford. Itcontinued to change handsfrequently in Norman days, evenbeing sold by King John to SirWilliam de Braose, Lord ofAbergavenny, for three steeds andten greyhounds. The castle wasvalued for its strategic position butused mainly as a garrison, sopossesses little of the romantichistory of some of the later castles. In 1200 the castle was rebuilt instone by Hubert de Burgh tobecome a powerful fortress, plainly

built with circular towers at thecorners of the rectangleformed by the curtain walls.At some point, during the re-building work, there was aheavy flood in the low-lyingvalley which caused thecastle to be severelyinundated by the risingwaters. Hubert then filledthe interior of the first castlewith river gravel and commencedto build a new castle on top of theoriginal. Archaeological diggingin the 1950s actually exposed thewell-preserved remains of the firstcastle hall, which had been buriedin the gravel from 1220.The main entrance to the newcastle was formed through thenorth curtain wall, accessing thecentral Keep. It was circular inplan, with three storeys and abasement used as a dungeon or for

storage.The River Monnow guards theeastern facade and the curtainwalls were originally moated,utilising water taken from theriver. The millrace, to the localwater mill, was at one time part ofthe castle moat. There would,originally, have been a drawbridgeacross the moat accessing thecastle entrance. The mill is locatedon the south side of the castle onthe site of the medieval mill.

Skenfrith Castle

The Welsh Triangle‘y Tair Tref’skenfrith

Skenfrith Castle Keep


Skenfrith church has an attractivehalf-timbered tower with awooden dovecote roof, and isagain quite large for what is now asmall village. It is medieval inorigin dating from about 1168,extended in the 14th century andalso in the 16th century. It waslater restored in 1896 and again in1909. The construction is of oldred sandstone, with a two aislenave, a chancel and west towertopped with a dovecote belfry.

Inside the church is a finely carvedaltar tomb, which is the monumentof John Morgan, the last castlegovernor in the 16th Century, andalso his wife Anne. Notice also theoak Governor's pew, standingaside from the more recentordinary pews. A glass-frontedcase, mounted on the wall,contains an ecclesiastical copemade from coloured silks. It hasbeen suggested that it was madeand given by Queen Eleanor, wifeof King Henry III, when lodging atthe castle, whilst her husband wasfighting the Welsh. However,expert modern opinion dates thecope to the late 15th Century.The church is dedicated to StBridget of Kildare an Irish saintfrom Kildare, where she had beenan abbess for a monastery thatunusually catered for both men

and women. Her effigy can be seenon the gable over the entranceporch. Just inside the porch islocated the remains of an early13th Century Holy Water stoup.The church also was rebuilt instone by Hubert de Burgh in the13th Century. De Burgh wasresident and Lord of the manor atthat date, later becoming ChiefJusticar under Henry III.Skenfrith churchhas a peal of six

bells and the village inn, adjacentto the Monnow Bridge, isappropriately named ‘The Bell’. Theinn was once a 17th centurycoaching inn and was tastefullyrestored in 2001. It has flagstone

floors, oak beams, antique andperiod furniture. There are elevenguest rooms with en-suitebathrooms, the restaurant has wonawards and has an excellent winelist, all making it a comfortableplace to stay. The proprietors of thehotel have created some interestingcircular walks, starting from andreturning to the Hotel. A map anda guide describing the footpathsand identifying points of interestsin the locality are provided.

Having

completed ourexploration of Skenfrith we willnext continue on to the final castleof the Trilateral – White Castle.
