Old Villages of Denbighshire and Flintshire

In this informative book, Dewi Roberts guides us knowledgeably around thirty-five small communities in north-eastern Wales and focuses on many of their historical facets, some of them unexpected. We discover, for example, that Dyserth was the scene of industrial riots in the nineteenth cenutury; that Nantglyn has a yew tree which incorporates a pulpit; read an eyewitness account of a wartime disaster at Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd; and learn of the remarkable Ffoulke Owen and the circumstances surrounding his death.Anecdotage and folklore will also be found here, and the book will provide an ideal handbook to take with you, as you travel around the two counties. The accompanying photographs aptly compliment the text.
