                                  Some Personal Thoughts on the Place-name ‘Resolven’.

 

 

The Original Place-name:

The original name of our village and its immediate environs was ‘Soflen’.  ‘Soflen’ is a feminine singular noun in Welsh meaning ‘stubble’; stubble being defined as the short stalks left above ground after a crop has been cut or harvested. So the Welsh name could be loosely translated into English as ‘Stubbleland’.

This Welsh place-name in all likelihood dates back to the early medieval period and even possibly to as far back as the Celtic Iron Age. That this is highly likely can be evidenced by the name ‘Nedd’, the Welsh name for the river Neath, which marks the western boundary of the Soflen territory, and which definitely dates back to the pre-Roman period; also by the name ‘Clydach’ for the brook of that name, which marks the territory’s southern boundary, and is a Goidelic derivation introduced in the fifth century A.D. at the time of the early medieval Irish settlers into Wales. (It is interesting to note that there are in fact two waterways called Clydach in the locality: the Clydach Isaf, today’s Melincwrt brook, which is the one referred to above as the Soflen manor’s southern boundary, and the Clydach Uchaf, today simply called Resolven Brook, which transversed the manorial lands.)

 

The Change of Place-name:

About the year 1090, the Normans invaded the old kingdom of Morgannwg (Glamorgan) and defeated its last native Welsh ruler, Iestyn ap Gwrgant. However, as a gesture of good will, the Norman invaders allowed Iestyn to keep the land between the rivers Nedd and Afan, and this area, called Afan Wallia, was distinguished by being the only Welsh-ruled area in Norman-occupied south Wales.

Iestyn’s son, Caradoc, subsequently became the first lord of Afan Wallia. He, in his turn, named his brother, Rees, as lord of Soflen, which was a manor or territory within Afan Wallia. Rees held this lordship of Soflen until 1129, when Sir Richard Granville, the Norman lord of Glamorgan, transferred it from Rees to the abbot and monks of Neath Abbey who had arrived that year from Savigny in western Normandy, Rees exchanging his Soflen territory for that of Cilybebyll. For our purpose, only the following facts from the preceding information need to be remembered: the name Rees (also spelled as Rhys, Rys, Res, Rice); the name Soflen (for the manor or territory which Rees occupied as lord for some thirty years); and the date 1129 (when Rees relinquished the lordship of Soflen to Neath Abbey.)

Almost immediately after Rees’s departure to Cilyebeyll and the acquisition and occupation of the manor by its new lord, the place-name ‘Soflen’ begins to mutate into a multitude of different forms. In charters written in Latin between 1130 and 1600, we find, for example, Resoulyn; Resowlen; Rosowlin; Rossaulin; Roshowelin; Rosaulin; Rossaulin; Rossavun; Russhelyn; Rossoulyn; Rossoylyn; Reisoulond. Later, in 1722, in a letter written in English, we have actually two different forms of the place-name almost side by side: Rossolven and Rossoluen. It is only in 1781, in a report in English dealing with tithes, that we first come across the familiar form: Resolven.

To account for these variations, it should be borne in mind that, at this time, there were four languages in common use: Welsh (the language of the local population), English and Norman French (the languages of the Anglo-Norman invaders), and Latin (the language of administration, law, church, and official documents). The native Welsh, for example, would have had, at least initially, little, if any, knowledge of English and almost certainly no French, let alone Latin. Likewise, the French monks who followed in the wake of the invaders would at this time have had no knowledge of Welsh and perhaps only a bare minimum of English. Also, it should be noted that no standard spelling (orthography) existed until the nineteenth century; for example, the personal name ‘Rees’ was often signed or written as ‘Res’, ‘Rhys’ or ‘Rys’, as witnessed by the extant medieval signatures of Rhys ap Llewelyn, lord of Glyn Nedd, and by the inscription, still visible today, on a a fine memorial ninth- century memorial cross at the church of Llanilltud Fawr/Llantwit Major which reads: “This cross Houelt (Hywel) prepared for the soul of Res (Rhys), his father”.

So the time was ripe for linguistic confusion, especially in hand-written manuscripts. It seems to me   highly likely that, through scribal error on the part of the abbey’s monks, the two words Rees Soflen, a personal name and a place name meaning Rees (lord of) of Soflen, became unwittingly compounded and contracted into one word and spelled as Resoflen or Rhysoflen, where the personal name element has been lost and forgotten, and only a place- name remains. If this were the case, the field would be left wide open to the host of different spellings shown above.

 

The Meaning of the Place-name:

We have seen that Soflen means Stubble (-land), that is, land where the stalks of crops remain after harvesting. The question is why would this be an appropriate name for a place when stubble could be seen almost anywhere and everywhere? The answer is in the type of crop being described; and that crop, I believe, is the reed. This claim is substantiated by the following three pieces of evidence, two historical and one circumstantial:

Firstly, in 1591, Sir Edward Mansel wrote in his Conquest of Glamorgan “To Rhys the third son of Iestyn, was given the Lordship of Reeding or Soflen.” Here Mansel definitively equates the Welsh word Soflen with the English word Reeding. (The suffix ‘- ing’ at the end of the word is a Viking import and means marsh or meadow. So Reeding would here signify reed marshes or meadows.)

Secondly, after having moved to Cilybebell, Rhys’s status as the former lord of Soflen/Reeding, became immortalised in the name of one of the Cilybebell estates which were inherited by his descendants: the village of Reeding/Rhydin:  today’s Rhydding.

Thirdly, a more circumstantial piece of evidence: reeds grow in both fresh and salt water, in shallow or marshy ground which is frequently flooded. Exactly those conditions we meet in Soflen, where water clearly defines the boundaries on three sides of the manorial lands: Clydach isaf/ Melincwrt Brook in the south, the Gwrach Brook in the north and the River Nedd/ Neath in the west. Moreover, the lands are bisected by the Clydach uchaf/ Resolven Brook, along with several other streams, and its fields are frequently flooded.  The reed was a useful and widespread material for our distant ancestors, being used to thatch roofs of houses (slates not being used until the nineteenth century) and in making mats, chairs, baskets, fences and even fishing rods. It is a wild species which does not require planting each year, but it does require maintenance. The traditional way of doing this was to burn the old standing reeds in the winter for several years and in each successive spring the young plants grow increasingly straight as they are not now impeded by the dead growth of previous years. Reeds were harvested annually or often biannually. After being burned, or cut by scythe or sickle at harvest, only stubble would remain.

 

The Restoration of the original Place-name? :

If the above version is correct, then the following can be stated: the ‘Re’ prefix in the word Resolven does not refer, as is often believed, to ‘rhos’ meaning ‘a moor’ in English, (although there may indeed be some contamination with that word in the earliest variants of the place-name); nor does it refer to ‘rhyd’, ‘a ford’, nor to ‘rhiw’, ‘a hill’.

It can also be stated, contrary to some commonly- held  views, that the village is not named after Mynydd Solfen; quite the reverse: the mountain is named after the manorial lands, the ancient mountain trackway, Cefn Ffordd, forming the eastern boundary of the manor. Nor was the village called Ynysfach before the advent of the railway in 1850: Ynysfach simply refers to one of several farms in the central area of the village and not to the village as a whole.

It can also be stated that the increasingly- popular form: ‘Resolfen’ is really only a twentieth-century variant of the eighteenth-century variant: ‘Resolven’, (although in its favour the English consonant ‘v’ is correctly replaced by the original and more accurate Welsh ‘f’; yet it entirely misses the metathesis, the change in the position of consonants which often occurs naturally over time in the spoken language, (for example the word ‘remuneration’ pronounced as  ‘renumeration’), and keeps the consonants ‘lf’ rather than the original ‘fl’.)

I am sure that Rees, the medieval lord of the manor of what we now call Resolven, would be bemused and perhaps highly flattered to think that his name has been unconsciously and mistakenly embedded in the original place-name and passed unknowingly down the centuries. So perhaps it is high time to revert to the original form: ‘SOFLEN’, in all its pristine purity!
