George Browne and six other men were taken prisoner by Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobites on their retreat through Kendal in 1745. In this letter, they petition the Jacobite Governor of the castle at Carlisle for their liberty.
Old Ben Browne worked for local dignitary, Lady Otway, collecting rents and liaising with tenants. In this letter, he tells her he has buried some of her money in the garden, due to fear of being robbed by Jacobite rebels.
Old Ben Browne’s wife, Elizabeth, wrote this letter to her stepson, George, sharing her fears for his father as he responds to the threat of Jacobite rebels – but also how worried they both are due his lack of letters home.
Uncover a glimpse of Coleridge’s creativity as he celebrates the Nightingale’s song as a source of inspiration and hope rather than sorrow, after an evening walk with friends.
Experience the garden as Coleridge knew it. Joseph Cottle reminisces about a summer’s day in 1798 when a simple picnic became a moment of shared joy, friendship and poetic inspiration.
Discover the story behind this poem. And join Coleridge as he turns a moment of solitude into an imaginative journey with friends through the Quantock landscape and back to Coleridge Cottage.
There is an unforgiving wilderness that runs through nature’s core that Nanws a’ch Rhobert finds difficult to resist. She plunges into January’s coldest lakes and dances in August’s burning sun with equal awe. When she heard a Methodist minister speak for the first time, she was stirred and applied the same forces of nature to help her build the first Methodist chapel in Gwynedd. She was also born here, in Tŷ Mawr Wybrnant.
Actor: Mirain Fflur
Mae rhyw rym anfaddeuol yn perthyn i natur, ac mae Nanws a’ch Rhobert yn gyfarwydd tu hwnt ac ef. Hwn yw’r union rym oedd yn gyrru Nanws i blymio i lynnoedd oeraf Ionawr, a’r grym a’i gyrrodd i ddawnsio yn ddi-dor yng ngwres heulwen Awst. Ond pan glywodd Nanws bregeth Fethodistiaidd am y tro cyntaf erioed, mae hi yn sylwi ar y pwer sydd gan eiriau i’n cyfareddu hefyd. Roedd hi wedi dotio, a phenderfynnodd alw ar bwer grym natur, a phwer y tymhorau, i’w chynorthwyo i adeiladu y capel Methodistaidd cyntaf yn Ngwynedd. Ganwyd Nanws yma yn Nhŷ Mawr Wybrnant hefyd.

Siôn Fychan the Clog Dancer brings joy to the valley with every tap of each dance and every beat of each song. He was most welcome in many of the ‘Nosweithiau Llawen’ (merriment evenings) held in Tŷ Mawr, although not so very welcome to share the same joy during Sunday services, from which he was, ultimately, banned. He reminds us that joy deserves to reside everywhere, even in the most expectedly sombre of spaces.
Actor: Tudur Phillips
Mae Siôn Fychan y Clocsiwr yn llenwi’r cwm yn llawn lliw a llawenydd! Mae’n llwyddo i godi’r calonnau trymaf gyda phob tap o bob dawns a phob curiad o bob cân. Roedd yn cael croeso gwyllt ym mhob Noson Lawen yn Nhŷ Mawr - er nad oedd yr un brwdfrydedd iddo yng ngwasanaethau’r Sul ‘chwaith, ac am hynny, fei gafodd ei wahardd o’r capel. Mae’n ein hatgoffa bod lle i lawenydd ym mhobman, hyd yn oed yn y llefydd mwyaf lleddf.
Actor: Tudur Phillips
Barbra, Fedw Deg shares a story with you of a lost love long gone. A crushing tale from a time when status and power were held in high regard, and longings of the heart discounted and dismissed. She may also share some hidden ways in which hope and love can be kept alive through the power of music, and invites you to tune into other ways of listening and playing…
Actor: Mair Tomos Ifans
Mae Barbra Fedw Deg yn rhannu hanes gyda ni am gariad colledig, pellennig. Hanes o adeg pan oedd statws a phŵer yn bethau llawer amgenach na hiraeth a chariad. Os gallwch wrando tu hwnt i wrando ar Barbra, efallai y byddai’n rhannu ychydig o ddulliau cudd hefo chi, dulliau lle mae modd i hudoliaeth cerddoriaeth gadw gobaith yn fyw…
Actor: Mair Tomos Ifans
Ioan Serw, the drover, explains how he and his peers drove animals to markets all over the country back in the Tudor era, on foot! He also shares a story about a very special person and an item that they brought with them to London in 1587 - an item that had the power to change the future of an entire nation...
Actor: Llion Williams
Y Porthmon Ioan Serw sy’n esbonio sut y buodd ef a’i gyfoedion yn gyrru llu o anifeiliaid i farchnadoedd led-led y wlad yn ôl yn oes y Tuduriaid, ar droed! Mae hefyd yn rhannu hanes am berson ac eitem arbennig iawn bu iddynt eu cludo gyda nhw Lundain ym 1587 – eitem oedd gyda’r pwer i draws newid dyfodol cenedl gyfan…
Actor: Llion Williams
Argyfwng! Argyfwng! Mae morlo ym Mae Ceredigion yn seinio rhybudd ar ôl i fachgen bach golli ei fathodyn Criw Gwyllt yn y môr. Mae’r bachgen yn daer eisiau ei fathodyn yn ôl.

Ymunwch â thaith gerdded at lyn ym Mannau Brycheiniog i glywed sut wnaeth y Ceidwad, Emma Kolano-Rogers, wneud y penderfyniad dewr i gamu i ffwrdd o yrfa yr oedd wedi hyfforddi yn y brifysgol ar ei chyfer ond a oedd yn achosi gorbyder iddi.
Ychydig flynyddoedd yn ddiweddarach, mae hi at ei phengliniau mewn mwd, yn syrthio i mewn i gorsydd ac yn ac mae hi’n hapusach nag erioed.
Mae hi’n mynd â’r cyflwynydd, Claire Hickinbotham, i ganfod ‘Morwyn Llyn y Fan’ ac yn rhannu ychydig o straeon llên gwerin Cymru ar y daith fer ond serth.

Young Ben Browne went to live in London in 1719 to start his training as a clerk to a lawyer.

Un o bleserau syml bywyd yw mynd allan am dro, gan fwynhau'r byd o'ch cwmpas gydag ychydig o awyr iach ac yna mynd i mewn i dafarn glyd am lymed haeddiannol.
Mae Claire Hickinbotham yn mynd â chi ar rai o’n hoff deithiau cerdded o’n llyfr ‘100 Great Pub Walks’ ac yn darganfod pam fod gofalu am ein planed yn angenrheidiol er lles yr hen beint o gwrw.
O orlifdiroedd i ffeniau, o fawndiroedd i dafarndai, darganfyddwch y gwaith sy'n mynd ymlaen i ofalu am ein planed.
[Ad] Noddir y podlediad hwn gan Starling Bank. Mae mawndiroedd yn hanfodol i bobl a’r blaned mewn llawer o ffyrdd anhygoel – maen nhw’n ymddwyn fel sbyngau naturiol, gan storio mwy o garbon na holl goedwigoedd glaw y byd gyda’i gilydd. Ac maen nhw’n gynefin i lu o fywyd gwyllt. Ac maen nhw'n gweithredu fel amddiffynfeydd rhag llifogydd yn wyneb newid hinsawdd.
Mae Starling Bank wedi bod yn ariannu gwaith yr Ymddiriedolaeth Genedlaethol tuag at achub ein mawndiroedd ers 2023, gan gefnogi prosiectau a fydd yn adfer ac yn amddiffyn dros 400 hectar o fawndir gwerthfawr y DU – sef 372 o gaeau pêl-droed.

Young Ben Browne went to live in London in June 1719, to start his training as a clerk to a lawyer. In this letter to his parents, he recounts his journey to London and his initial observations of the city, including witnessing the Spitalfields silk weavers protesting violently about imports of calico from India.
We hope you enjoy listening to this demo audio version of Land Matters from the National Trust. We’ve made this pilot to see if you’d like the option in future to listen to the newsletter, rather than read it.
You'll hear three articles from recent issues, including a feature on how a focus on nature has brought transformational change to James Robinson’s Lake District farm. You’ll learn how Exmoor farmer Holly Purdey put balance and diversity at the heart of her farm management. And we speak to Jake Fiennes, Director of Conservation at the Holkham Estate in Norfolk.
The demo is narrated by Sally Palmer, editor of the National Trust Magazine for members, and the articles are read by Stephen Perring, Ali Vowles and Jim Lee.
Please let us know what you think of this demo by emailing land.matters@nationaltrust.org.uk .Did you enjoy it? Why? What might you change if we made it again? Would you listen regularly if we make more? We’ve just made the episode in English this time, but if it proves popular we’ll look at making it in Welsh, as we do with the printed newsletter, so we’d love to know if that would be of interest to you too.
