HERITAGE will be in the spotlight with the return of a series of lectures over the coming months.

Denbigh Town Council has announced its schedule of weekly heritage lectures, which will take place at Denbigh Town Hall.

The series begins on February 23 in the company of Clwyd Wynne.

He will speak on the subject of "For your tomorrow WE gave our today - But who were WE?".

This lecture will explore the effect that the First World War had on Denbigh families.

It promises to be poignant, humorous and full of local interest with personal stories, letters and insight.

On March 2, Denbighshire County Council heritage curator Carly Davies will deliver a lecture enthrallingly entitled "Buildings, Bugs and Bodies".

This will be an overview of the buildings, collections and procedures that are under the care and protection of Denbighshire heritage services.

Turning to March 9 and the subject under discussion will be "The Estates of Dyffryn Clwyd".

This lecture will be delivered by Gareth Evans, with examples of gentry families being chosen and the history of their estates and what happened next being revealed.

There will be a poignant lecture on March 16, entitled "Don't Look Back".
Delivered by Wendy Grey-Lloyd, this lecture is the untold story of the Guernsey schoolchildren who escaped the horrors of Nazi occupation in 1940 and were given refuge for five years by the people of Denbigh.

Paul Evans will provide a lecture on Thomas Pennant on March 23.

He will cover Thomas Pennant's rambles through the Vale of Clwyd in the 1770s, with a special focus upon the Denbigh area.

The final lecture of the series, on March 30, is entitled "Denbigh Castle and the Town Walls".

CADW's Will Davies will be on hand to give details on how archaeological investigations have shed new light on the layout and development of the site - and which raise just as many questions!

Each of the lectures get underway at 7pm and entry is free of charge.
