Witches in Wales Richard Suggett
This talk discusses the troubling history of prosecutions for witchcraft in sixteenth-
and seventeenth-century Wales. There are many questions which can now be
answered: Who were the suspected witches? What were they accused of? Who were
the accusers? What happened to the suspects? The talk on Hallowe’en night draws on
the National Library’s magnificent Court of Great Sessions archive. The evidence is now
published in a new book by Richard Suggett, Welsh Witches: Narratives of Witchcraft and
Magic from Sixteenth - and Seventeenth-century Wales (Atramentous Press, 2018).

The Mostyn Manuscripts Symposium
The Mostyn family were recognised as one
of the most influential landholding families in
Wales. The collections they generated over
the course of their long history provide an
outstanding foundation for research. Through
a series of short presentations, this one-day
public symposium will showcase a range of
studies based on the National Library’s Mostyn
Manuscripts and related collections. Held in
collaboration with Bangor University’s Institute
for the Study of Welsh Estates and Stephen
Colclough Centre for the History and Culture of
the Book, it will demonstrate the research and
cultural value of one of Wales’s most famous
country house collections.

Aneurin Bevan, Pensaer y Gwasanaeth Iechyd

Revd Dr D. Ben Rees
After winning the 1945 General Election, Clement Attlee
decided to choose Aneurin Bevan, one of his harshest critics,
as Minister of Health. Although he had never taken any
responsibility in Government or Opposition, he became one of
the most successful Cabinet ministers. This lecture will trace
his relationship with the Tredegar Medical Aid Society which
gave him a socialist vision to create a National Health Service.
With his talent in introducing his philosophy to the civil
servants and the media and a genius in understanding the
