A HISTORIC Denbighshire building will be opening its doors at the end of the month.

Dolbelydr, in Trefnant, will be open for the public to view between March 24 and 27.

The Landmark Trust will be opening the doors to the historic building, which has a claim to be the birthplace of the modern Welsh language.

The open weekend will offer a chance for interested people to see inside the complex restoration of the Tudor building and learn about its past occupants and history.

This 16th-century gentry house has many of its original features, including a first floor solar open to the roof beams.

Dolbelydr was the family manor of humanist and physician Henry Salesbury.

In 1593, Salesbury published his Grammatica Britannica, written in this fine stone house. Welsh scholars such as Salesbury rose to the challenge of Henry VIII's regime, who was imposing English as the language of government.

By putting a classical discipline on the grammar of this ancient language, Salesbury's work gives Dolbelydr some claim to be the birthplace of modern Welsh.

Dolbelydr will be open between 10am and 4pm on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and 10am-1pm on the Monday.

Entry over the weekend is free of charge, although interested people need to book a space in advance.
