ampaigners have vowed to proceed preventing to avoid wasting the ancestral house of Owain Glyndwr for future generations.

The web site of Sycharth in Montgomeryshire, mid-Wales was the manorial house of the princes of Powys Fadog and the birthplace of Glyndwr, the final Welsh-born holder of the title Prince of Wales.

Glyndwr led the final riot towards the English and Sycharth was burned to the bottom in May 1403 by the English prince, Henry, throughout his rebellion.

All that stay now of the previous motte and bailey fort, which is positioned just a few miles from the English-Welsh border, are the earthworks.

Campaigners had been talking out on Owain Glyndwr Day, which was being celebrated on September 16.

Artist Dan Llywelyn Hall, who unveiled an oil portray of Glyndwr at Sycharth, stated: “It’s painfully ironic that the home of our last Prince of Wales and the founding father of the Senedd be so grossly neglected and left to an inevitable demise.

“Let’s hope current political will, can recognises the need to celebrate of a man who stood up to repression and the enduring underdog.”

The portrait measures 3ft tall and is entitled Owain Glyndwr – The Rightful Reclaim and can now be displayed on the Senedd.

Russell George, the Conservative MS for Montgomeryshire, stated: “I was delighted to take part in the unveiling of Dan Llywelyn Hall’s painting and depiction of Owain Glyndwr.

“It is important to protect our heritage sites and ensure accessibility to these historical sites so the people of Wales can learn more about our Welsh history.”

Over 10,000 individuals signed a petition calling for Sycharth to be purchased by the Welsh Government from the landowner.

It was debated within the Senedd on Wednesday and Jack Sargeant MS, chairman of the petitions committee, referred to as for improved signage for the positioning and urged the Welsh Government to construct a customer centre close by.

“Cymru is an increasingly confident nation,” he advised Plenary.

“If we are to build on that confidence, then we need to understand and celebrate our history, whether that is the Chartists or what happened in the 1980s when the Tories decimated communities like mine in Alyn and Deeside, or, indeed, Owain Glyndwr.

“We as Welsh people must be able to understand better the events that shaped us.”

Dawn Bowden, deputy minister for arts, sport and tourism, stated the positioning was in non-public possession, had sitting lifetime tenants and was not on the market.

“There are other ways to provide for its protection, care and promotion so that this unique historic site can be appreciated and enjoyed, both today and by future generations,” she stated.

“As a scheduled monument, the site is protected through legislation, and there is close partnership working between the owners of the site, the Llangedwyn estate, the tenant farmers, and Cadw, to provide for the conservation and maintenance of Sycharth’s physical remains.”

Senedd members agreed to notice the movement.
