If you find yourself near Ruthin, pop into Nantclwyd y Dre and check out the Roman and medieval archaeology uncovered this year (and curated by moi). Samianware, metalwork, and a cool medieval bottle lid!
Join me on Thursday for an online talk on Cwmhir Abbey (and the other Cistercian monasteries) and their interaction with Welsh medieval culture!
(Abbey Cwmhir Heritage Trust website for details. £1 donation to help conservation work at Cwmhir and the local historic landscape)
So all but one statute from the Cistercian General Chapter in the twelfth-century re. Welsh Abbeys, was to prohibit beer drinking by Welsh conversi (which, obviously, just leads to nicking the Abbot's horse).
@DrAdamChapman Yeah moving to the local authority heritage sector was a bit short-sighted. But then all history/heritage/arts sectors are cutting.
The pension is decent though!
