Art and History in Breconshire

Not long now until the Hay History Group's AGM, which will be on Tuesday 26th March at the Parish Hall, starting at 7pm.
This will be followed by a talk by William Gibbs called Illustrating Breconshire. It's about the artists who illustrated Theophilus Jones' History of Breconshire - required reading for anyone with a serious interest in the history of the area! They include Richard Colt Hoare, Thomas Price, Charles Norris and Edward Pugh. Theophilus Jones wrote his great work (of four volumes) in 1805.
Entry is free.
