Voices from the Past

This forum is open to all of the villagers of Trelawnyd past and present


I would like for them to share their memories, old photographs, family histories and past Village news with me so that I may be able to present a comprehensive record of this small. ancient and facinating Welsh Village Community throughout the ages.


All photographs will be returned after being scanned and published

For those that want to read a comprehensive study on the History of Trelawnyd, please refer to the Book "TRELAWNYD PAST & PRESENT" by Daphne and Ken Davies

The Trelawnyd Project


 I’m not the only village historian of sorts. My history blog https://trelawnydhistory.blogspot.com/ has been complemented and surpassed by Ma Manley’s beautifully designed book Trelawnyd Map 

Karen has been working on the book which is a work in progress and it looks at points of local historical interest, with gossipy asides and home drawn illustrations. It’s quite charming














As well as the book, Karen hopes to organising a quilt map of the village in a similar style which hopefully bring villagers together with their own corners of Trelawnyd to sew or stitch.

I’d love to be a part of this initiative .
On the way home I noticed that the beautiful Flower Show posters are up

    That's such a cool project! It's wonderful that you have someone else in the village who is so passionate about local history, and the way she's combining it with art and community is really special. A hand-drawn map with gossipy asides sounds like a charming and unique way to capture the spirit of the village. The idea of a collaborative quilt map is even better it's a great way to bring people together and create a lasting piece of art that tells the story of the village.
