I have GOWERS - with an S - as part of my ancestory some generations ago.   Many of them fit into the latter category!

Hi Ann,

 

The Welsh for Gower is Gwyr, pronounces goy ur.  In Shakespeare's play 'King Henry IV, Part ' One, it means ''pure''. A slang meaning is 'one who lies as in liar' I know which version I prefer. I live on the Gower Peninsula, which is west of Swansea and is farming area and is designated a place of outstanding beauty. The beaches and cliffs are beautiful. There are 5 castles,   Woebley, Pennard, Oxwich, Penrice, Bovehill and Oystermouth. They are all ruins. There are also some very old churches one in Rhossili dating back to Norman time, 1230, the original one dates back to the 6^th century.

 

Incidentally I am a Scot living in Wales,

 

Ann
