Medieval Treasures To Go On Show At Wrexham Museum

A hoard of medieval treasures is set to go on show at Wrexham County Borough Museum & Archives this weekend.

Amongst the artefacts on show at the Medieval Minds exhibition in gallery 2 will be the Wrexham Hoard, a collection of silver pennies from the reigns of Richard the Lionheart, John (the king who signed the Magna Carta) and Henry III.
