An exhibition by National Trust Cymru
Sponsored by Janet Finch-Saunders MS
Dates: 5 September – 30 October 2025
Location: Senedd Oriel
Step into the heart of Welsh heritage and explore Tŷ Mawr Wybrnant, a 16th-century farmhouse nestled in the Wybrnant valley near Penmachno, Conwy North Wales. This historic home is the birthplace of Bishop William Morgan, whose 1588 translation of the Bible into Welsh - ‘Y Beibl Cyssegr-lan’ - ensured the survival of the Welsh language.
This exhibition invites you to explore the enduring legacy of Morgan’s work and the landscape that inspired it. Discover the unique collection at Tŷ Mawr Wybrnant, shaped by generations of people united through language, culture, and a connection to place.
National Trust Cymru proudly presents ‘Y Beibl Cyssegr-lan’ (1588) on display at the Senedd, alongside a selection of donated Bibles—each carrying its own unique story of faith, language, and national pride.
Join us in celebrating Welsh language and culture and the power of place to connect past and present.
