Why this record matters
“Ysgol y Creuddyn” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Ysgol, Creuddyn and state provides the most credible route into that argument.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q8059769. VIAF identifies the subject as 145791209. The Library of Congress control number is no2006128862. Authority coordinates are 53.311, -3.779. 4 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1981, 2023 and 2024.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
