Ruperra Conference on Saturday April 2 2011
A Welsh ‘pageant’ Castle and the steward to the ‘Earls of Paradise’ Saturday April 2nd
Hosted by the National History Museum (St. Fagan’s)
Sponsored by The Ruperra Castle Preservation Trust
Ruperra Castle is a rare example of a Jacobean, Renaissance mock Castle in Rudry near Caerphilly ('it belongs to the very small and precious group of buildings expressing in architectural form the cult of chivalry’ Mark Girouard).The theme for our 2011 conference is the ‘life and times of Sir Thomas Morgan, builder of Ruperra Castle’. The venue is the Oakdale Workmen’s Institute (capacity 100) at the National History Museum, Cardiff
Many of you will know of our long running campaign to secure this important site for the nation.(‘it is an outstanding example of the nostalgia for the chivalric past felt in the early c17, even as Inigo Jones was rooting classicism in Britain’ John Newman )
We have some very notable supporters, some of whom will be speaking at this event.
