Hanes addysg yn Llangynfelyn

History of education in Llangynfelyn

Mae cofnodion ynglyn ag addysg ffurfiol yn y plwyf ers canol y deunawfed ganrif. Y cofnodion cyntaf yw un am ysgolion gylchynnol Gruffydd Jones:

There are records of formal education occuring in the parish since the mid 18th century. The earliest record is of Gruffydd Jones circulating schools:


1764-5Tre'rddol61 pupils
1765-6Tre'rddol42 pupils
 Danyrallt53 pupils
1766-7Troedyrhiw72 pupils
  29 pupils
 Night School13 pupils
(Cylchgrawn Cymdeithas Hanes y Methodistiad Calfinaidd, XX, tud.87)

Erbyn 1819, nid oedd unrhyw ysgol parheuol yn y plwyf:   By 1819, there was still no permanent school in the parish

LLAN-CYNN-FELIN: Population in 1811 - 556, Poor in 1815: 37. No schools but "The poor are without sufficient means of education, and desirous of possessing them." - Evan Pugh, Minister.
(Parliamentary Papers, Select Committee on Education of the Poor, Digest of Parochial Returns. 1819 vol IX-C1)

Wedyn, dechreuodd ysgolion eraill, parhaol ag ysgolion sul i ymddangos:

Later, other permanent schools and Sunday schools started to appear:

About 50 children are instructed in a day school at the expense of their parents; and there are three Sunday schools, supported by subscription, aided by gratuitous teachers, in one of which are 60 children who attend the Established Church; the others appertain to the dissenters, and afford instruction to 380 children.
Samuel Lewis, Topographical Dictionary of Wales (2nd ed. 1840), vol. ii

Erbyn cyhoeddiad y Llyfrau Gleision, (Report of the commissioners of inquiry into the state of Education In Wales), yn 1847, bu dau ysgol dydd yn yn plwyf, gyda cyfanswm o 84 myfyrwyr rhyngddynt, ynghyd â'r nifer rhyfeddol o 317 bobl yn mynd i ysgolion Sul, allon o boblogaeth o 984. Hyd yn oed ar ôl goddef am ragfarn yr awduron, mae'n amlwg bod safon cyffredinol addysg yng nghefnwlad Cymru adeg honno a'r cyfleusterau ar gael yn bell o berffeithrwydd.

Codwyd adeilad ysgol parhaol yn 1856:

By the time of the notorious Report of the commissioners of inquiry into the state of Education In Wales, (The Blue Books), in 1847, there were two day schools with a total of 84 pupils, together with an astonishing 317 attending Sunday schools, out of a population of 984. Even allowing for the bias of the authors, it is clear that the general standard of education in rural Wales at this period and the facilities available left a lot to be desired.

A permanent school building was erected in 1856:

Mortgage of the Dolyclettwr estate, 18 July 1851. An assignment of the mortgage, 5 Sept. 1856, is endorsed on the mortgage. This endorsement recites an indenture of Aug. 1856 (not found), whereby William Tilsley Jones of Gwynfryn, esq. (mortgagor), and Charles Cotton Ferard of Ascot Place, Berkshire, esq. (mortgagee), conveyed to the minister and churchwardens of the parish of Llangynfelyn a parcel of ground forming part of the Dolyclettwr estate adjoining the turnpike road from Aberystwyth to Machynlleth for erecting a school for educating 'children and adults or children only of the laboring, manufacturing and other poorer classes in the parish of Llancynfelin'
(NLW, Gwynfryn 74)
