Kenfig.org Local Community GroupBackground
Kenfig.org Local Community Group was formed in March 2004 by Mr Rob Bowen approximately one year after the website
was initially launched online.
Forming a community group was decided due to the sheer volume of website visitors during the websites first year online
and additionally due to the impact the website was having on the immediate local communities.
Mr Rob Bowen was already working voluntary as an Associate with another community group in the immediate
Kenfig / North Cornelly area (The MCK Newsletter Team) - it was decided to create a community group of the website
to complement this newsletter as both situations were working towards the same goals in sharing aspects
of local history with the local communities. A list of website objectives was drawn up together with a constitution
and a committee was formed.
Serving the Local CommunityKenfig.org local community group serves the initial communities of Kenfig, Maudlam, North Cornelly, South Cornelly,
Pyle, Kenfig Hill, Cefn Cribbwr, Stormy Down and Margam Village.
The adjoining communties of Porthcawl and Bridgend
together with Port Talbot are also supported due to their close proximity, historical connections and due to the
information being made available to all through the medium of the Internet. We are documenting the whole,
entire history of the immediate area (Not just Kenfig...) through this website project.
In medieval times Kenfig was awarded the status of a Borough. The Kenfig Borough or Old Bro Cynffig
included Kenfig, Maudlam (Mawdlam), much of North Cornelly, Marlas, Pyle and some of Kenfig Hill.
