Mapping the March: Medieval Wales and England aims to create the first holistic cultural history of the medieval March of Wales, the borderlands between Wales and England, occupied by a diverse population of Welsh and English speakers between 1282-1550.

Helen Fulton attended the launch of a new historical map of Brecon and Hay. The map was designed by Giles Darkes and published by the Historic Towns Trust. The launch was accompanied by guided walks led by Richard Suggett from @rcahmwales.bsky.social

Last week @mappingthemarch.bsky.social held a launch for my new book and a new book by the brilliant @mattlampitt.bsky.social in the atmospheric crypt of The Mount Without. It was so much fun to celebrate with friends, family, and colleagues who have supported us along the way! #medievalsky #newbook

BBC Radio 4 ‘In Our Time’, recently featured the topic of ‘The Welsh Marches’. The programme was recorded in front of a live audience at the Hay Literary Festival. On the panel were Helen Fulton, Huw Pryce (Bangor University) and Rhun Emlyn (Aberystwyth), with presenter Misha Glenny.

@mattlampitt.bsky.social has published an article in Open Access Government describing some of the manuscript books that travelled to the Marches. The article comes out of his research into Marcher manuscripts and their connections with international literary and scribal networks.

The MOWLIT team has partnered with the Historic Towns Trust to create a historic map of the Marcher towns of Brecon and Hay-on-Wye. Join us at Hay Castle on 28 May to celebrate the map’s launch! ticketpass.org/event/ENYEBW... ticketpass.org/event/ENYEBW... ticketpass.org/event/EOBKRE...

The programme is now available on BBC Sounds here: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
