Talk:Dolgellau

Major revisions

As you can see, I've made a lot of changes and added a lot of material. I even took most of the pictures - anyone with prettier ones is welcome to replace mine.

Much of the historical information comes from the site linked to at the bottom of the article, which may be rather out of date - annoyingly, I don't have a copy of the History of Merioneth to hand, but I'll pop into my library at some point and get something out of that. If anyone has any better sources in the meantime, please contribute. garik 15:44, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Hengwrt manuscript

I've always assumed this was from Hengwrt at Dolgellau, but I have yet to see this confirmed. Does anyone know for sure? garik 12:43, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

The name Dolgellau

The following paragraph was added to the article; it appears contentious and is unreferenced. If it is worthy of inclusion it needs proper referencing.

"A debate took place in the 1950s regarding the correct Welsh spelling and Dolgelli had its advocates before Dolgellau was settled on. Robert Williems Vaughan had insisted on the name Dolgellau for petulant reasons, if his family home (Nanney) was known as Nannau in Welsh then Dolgelly had to follow suite and be known as Dolgellau. The reason that Dolgellau was chosen as the *official" Welsh spelling rather than the more appropriate Dolgelli, was for sectarian reasons. The main proponent of Dolgelli was the Roman Catholic Judge Thomas Peter Ellis, and the councillors were more inclined to take the view of a petulant Protestant landlord than that of a Catholic historian and etymologist."
