Ers amser bellach
rydym wedi bod yn dyfalu sut i gyflwyno’r degwm ar y we. Daethom i’r
canlyniad mai eu gosod allan yn union fel ag yr oeddan fyddai oreu.Mae nhw
yn llawn o wybodaeth am Rhiw a Llanfaelrhys, yn cynnwys enwau tai nag
ydynt bellach yn bod, ac weithiau mae tai neu fythynod bach arnynt a dim
enw iddynt, dim ond enw’r sawl oedd yn gorfod talu’r degwm.Telid y degwm
ar werth eiddo a chynyrch y tir yn anifeiliaid ac yn gnydau ac ai arian y
degwm i’r Eglwys leol ac i Gomisiynwyr y degwm. Roedd y degwm yn achosi
llawer o dlodi i rai yn ei gyfnod a llawer o ddicter ymhlith yr
ymneulltiwyr yn enwedig. |

For some time now
we have been pondering on how best to place the tithes on the website, We
decided it would be better to put them as they were and let you browse
through them. They are very interesting and full of historical information
about Rhiw and Llanfaelrhys parishes, they contain names of houses that no
longer exist, some cottages even have no name only the name of the person
responsible for paying the tithes. Tithes were a tax payable to the parish
church and the Tithe Comissioners on property and the produce of the land
both animals and crops. The tithes caused a lot of hardship in their time
and were not popular especially with the nonconformists. |
