lintshire, the northern gateway to
Wales, is a county rich in heritage. It
is home to ancient artefacts, medieval
buildings and country houses, and has had many
fascinating residents such as the grand old man of
politics, W.E. Gladstone, and the famous naturalist
and writer, Thomas Pennant. As with much of
Wales, Flintshire is also a place of myth and legends,
from missing monks to maids in wells.
This wonderful compendium of curious anecdotes
and curiosities relates tales from the county’s rich
history. Richly illustrated, it is great for dipping into,
but can equally be enjoyed from cover to cover.
