Nant y Morwynion

Pupils in Carrog School were asked to write stories about local places and legends.

Lauren Bourne chose to write this story about how Nant y Morwynion (Ladies Brook) came to be called so:

“Long, long ago, In the times of knights and dragons, there did live a fair lord, by the name of Dewi. Now, Lord Dewi, he was a widower, but he didn’t live alone. He lived with three fair maids, who answered to the names of Moli, Holi and Poli.

These maids had served Dewi’s father and his father before, so as you have probably gathered, they were quite old! Dewi’s hobby was hunting, and out hunting he was one dark night when a storm, blew up! “OH” said Moll, “Let’s prepare a fine meal”. “OH” said Holi, “let’s brush the floor”. “OH” said Poli, “let’s polish the windows”.

So, they got to their jobs, when Holi let out a scream... “Aaaaaaah, dwr, water, HELP”. The two girls followed with childish SCREAMS. Poli flung open the door and let in a wave of water. The three girls were thrown against the wall and killed. On that sorrowful day, the mansion crumbled into the now rushing stream. They say it is still there now. And that’s the story of Nant y Morwynion.”
