This month's talk is this Friday 27th and entitled Owain Glyndwr: Worcestershire Fact or Fiction, by Heather Rendall.
19.30 at the Wythall Village Hall. £2.50 refreshments included.
All Welcome.

Owain Glyndŵr c. 1359 – c. 1416 was a Welsh aristocrat, soldier and military commander in the late Middle Ages, who led a 15-year-long Welsh revolt with the aim of ending English rule in Wales.

In Welsh culture Owain acquired a mythical status alongside other medieval kings such as King Arthur. He was perceived as a folk hero awaiting a call to return and liberate his people in the classic Welsh mythical role. The myth was that one day after a thousand years of servitude under English rule, a 'Son of Prophecy' would return the Welsh people as rulers of the island of Great Britain.

WHS hopes you had a great summer and are looking forward to a new season of interesting history talks. Our first meeting is this Friday 26th at 1930 Wythall Village Hall.
We shall start the evening by watching a video on our old parish church St Mary's. Made shortly before its closure, this is a rare opportunity to reminisce about the church with video of the interior and interviews with older members of the parish.
We will then have a short AGM followed by refreshments.
Non Members welcome £2.50.
Those wishing to attend all meetings throughout the year can save money by paying £15 for the year. (cash or cheque)
