Seren Gomer

Seren Gomer

"Seren Gomer" was a Welsh language periodical founded in 1814 by the clergyman and writer Joseph Harris (Gomer). The title means "star of Gomer".

The weekly was intended to cover news from the whole of Wales, and had a religious flavour. It met with limited success, folding in the following year after 85 editions; but in 1818 Harris revived it as a fortnightly publication, associated with the Baptist denomination. In 1820, it became a monthly.
