2024 Annual Outing

On Saturday 7th September the Bibliographical Group visited Erddig Hall, a National Trust house near Wrexham.  We began with a guided tour telling the history of the house, which was built in the late seventeenth century and extended several times, and belonged to the Yorke family until the last member handed it over to the Trust in 1977. 

After lunch we divided into two groups, one being shown the library while the other was shown some of the books and manuscripts by Tim Pye, Libraries Curator of the National Trust, who had come from Shrewsbury to meet us.  This part of the visit took place in the Tribes Room, decorated with coats of arms of the tribes which feature in “The royal tribes of Wales” by Philip Yorke of Erddig, which was first published in Wrexham in 1799.  An extra-illustrated copy of the book was amongst the treasures on display for us to see.  The two groups then swapped over, after which there was time for tea and to visit the rest of the house and the beautiful gardens.
