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).
Update. It's come to my attention that the session proposals for Leeds are end of Sept, so a November deadline is pointless 🤦🏻♀️
So please get paper abstracts to me by 20th of September.
(New CfP attached!)

Opportunity for A-Level/college students to find out what it's like to study history at Bangor.
Also I'm talking all things sexy nuns and divorcing your husband because of his bad breath, so added bonus!
Join us at Leeds for four interesting and varied sessions on Networks in Medieval Wales. Share far and wide and lets show the academic community all that Welsh history has to offer!
