From today's featured article

Howey and Crossway are two villages to the south of Llandrindod Wells, in Powys, Wales. They are in the community of Disserth and Trecoed, and formerly the historic county of Radnorshire. Howey is also spelt as Hafwy, Hawy, or Howi in Welsh.

Howey is located on the Howey Brook about 1.5 miles south of Llandrindod Wells, and Crossway is a smaller village about half of a mile further south. Little currently separates the two villages today.

Howey was formerly part of the civil parish (and later community) of Llandrindod Rural. In 1971 the parish had a population of 252. Crossway was presumably also part of the parish. On 1 April 1983 the community was abolished, and made part of Disserth and Trecoed as it is today.

Quote from an ancient Greek

"Remember the lessons of history. Remember how often whole peoples have allowed themselves to be persuaded to go to war by ‘wise’ men—and then been utterly destroyed by the very enemy they agreed to attack! Remember how many statesmen have helped raise new leadership to power—and then been overthrown by their own protégés! Remember how often leaders have chosen to treat their friends like slaves—and then perished in the revolutions caused by their idiotic methods! How many powerful men have craved to dominate the world—and by overreaching have lost everything they once possessed!" - Xenophon

Quote from an ancient Roman

"For that the power to distinguish between good and less good is the property of wisdom is evident surely even to the witless; so that the serpent was a benefactor rather than a destroyer of the human race." - Flavius Claudius Julianus (Julian the Apostate)
