In a poetic twist of fate, a cache of magnificent Welsh treasures — like a medieval ring emblazoned with a skull motif and coins bearing the visage of King Henry VIII — have been unearthed near The Prince of Wales’ country home, Llwynywermod.
Formerly the residence of William Williams, a relative of Anne Boleyn, and the seat of the Griffies-Williams baronets, Llwynywermod inhabits a historically rich region of Wales that attracts would-be treasure hunters. Such is the case with the amateur metal detectorists who literally struck gold on the former aristocratic hunting lands, exhuming centuries-old valuables.
