It was a great pleasure to visit the restored memorial to Huw Morus near Glyn Ceiriog with Craig Williams MP, Cllr Keith Benning and Cllr Trevor Bates. It is wonderful to see such an important piece of Welsh history restored and preserved for future generations to enjoy.
Huw Morus (1622 – 1709), also known by his bardic name Eos Ceiriog ("the nightingale of Ceiriog"), was one the most popular and prolific poets of his time. Morus's work bridges the gap between the strict-metre tradition of the Beirdd y Uchelwyr (the medieval "Poets of the Nobility") and popular verse.
The restoration of the memorial would not have been possible without the kind permission and financial support of owner Martin Obbard, along with hard work and perseverance of Keith Benning, Chairman of the Ceiriog Ucha Community Council. Many congratulations
