Topic: Deiniol


In the News (Sat 26 Dec 09)

  
  Deiniol
Deiniol was the son of Abbot Dunawd Fwr or Dinothus, son of Pabo Post Prydyn, by Dwywai, daughter of Llenog.
Deiniol soon left Powys for Gwynedd where he founded the monastery of Bangor under the patronage of Maelgwn Gwynedd who endowed it with lands and privileges, later raising it to the rank of an episcopal see, coterminous with the principality of Gwynedd.
The Church of Marchwiel is dedicated to Deiniol and a tenement of fifteen acres is named Tyddyn Daniel, purchased in 1626 for "the repair and use of the Church." According to Browne Willis (Bangor p.359), the church was formerly St. Daniel’s Chapel and belonged to the monastery of Bangor.

  Books and Mr. Gladstone. (former UK Prime Minister William Gladstone) - HighBeam Encyclopedia
Deiniol's Library was founded at Hawarden in North Wales, with W. Gladstone's gift of about 30,000 volumes, largely conveyed by himself by wheel-barrow across the village street from his residence at Hawarden Castle.
Deiniol's library, of course, still persists and flourishes: the Parish Church conveniently separating its spacious and graceful buildings from the 'Old Rectory', now housing both a Public Library and a Record Office.
Deiniol's Library, Hawarden, is unusual in that it possesses residential facilities for its readers, and so some sort of social life for its residents.

Father Deiniol's Bishop said that he considered that this Church was of national significance and should be known as Eglwys Holl Saint Cymru - (All Saints of Wales Church), rather than being named after an individual local Saint as had been initially suggested.
Y Tad Deiniol also points out that the Christian Church in Wales at the time of the Saints, around the 5th Century, was part of the One Undivided Church of which the contemporary Orthodox Church sees itself as the living continuation.
Y Tad Deiniol's commission from the Orthodox Church is thus to restore Orthodoxy to Wales.

 Esgobaeth Bangor Diocese
We know beyond reasonable doubt who Deiniol was: Deiniol son of Dunawd son of Pabo Post Prydyn - Pabo defender of Prydyn in the Old North, the name given to northern England and southern Scotland - a member of a cadet branch of a royal family often mentioned in early pedigrees and poetry.
Having been given land, in all probability by king Maelgwn who, whatever his faults, was generous to the saints, Deiniol enclosed it with a fence, constructed by driving posts into the ground and weaving branches in between them; the technical Welsh term for this type of fence was bangor.
Although Deiniol may not have introduced Christianity to the region, it was in his time that it became the established "organised" religion of Gwynedd.

Deiniol's contains 32,000 volumes from the library of Prime Minister Gladstone, an important Victorian politician who wrote books on both the Bible and Homer.
He was a leading advocate of the high church position that Oxford and Cambridge should function, to some degree, as seminaries, connected with the Church of England.
Since for Gladstone (like Matthew Arnold) the essence of British culture rested on the two pillars of classical and Biblical traditions, critical fragmentation of Homer or Moses would contribute to anarchy and the loss of empire (or at least the destruction of the Hyde park railings).
