Delighted that Pengwern Books in Shrewsbury now stock Dr. Jack Hunter's 'The Folkore of the Tanat Valley' alongside our other guides to local lore.

Had a good mooch around the 13th c. remains of Whittington Castle. The 12th c. motte survives, later used as a garden viewing mound for the medieval pleasure garden. Interesting theory that this site may have been Llys Pengwern (capital of Powys kingdom) in the 7th c. & not Shrewsbury 🤔

Shropshire has been known by many names including Pengwern (Head of the Alder grove/marsh), with its frontier once referred to as "Bron Wrgan". It was here that king Arthur slaughtered various giants to help free the imprisoned brothers of Gwenhwyfar. #Shropshireday #folkloresky #pagansky #witch

There’s so much we don’t know about Pengwern
According to Gerald of Wales, it was the ‘capital’ of another larger kingdom, Powys, but otherwise appears as an independent - though small - old Welsh territory
Whatever the case, Pengwern burned, and its ashes and embers are all that remain

P is for Pengwern, a true fallen realm, remembered in scattered fragments of poetry from the 7th to the 14th centuries
A ‘place to drink mead’, home to Merlin (?), and viciously torched during a war with Mercia; its ashes lie scattered across Shrewsbury, perhaps…

Popped into Shrewsbury's foremost independent bookshop Pengwern Books recently, spotting copies of our local guide books in the process.
Located on Fish Street in the heart of Shrewsbury, Shropshire, a finer book shop you couldn't help to find. Incredibly proud to have them stocking our wares.
