Part of 3. 2. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:36 pm on 23 May 2017.
Thank you, First Minister. As part of the Year of Legends, we are awaiting with great anticipation the winning design for our new Welsh Government-supported installation at Flint Castle. I’m sure everybody in the community is looking forward to this latest legend descending on the shores of the castle, but there was another local legend of old that the constituency and particularly the community of Mold are rightly proud of. The Mold gold cape was found in 1833 by workmen quarrying for stone in a burial mound, and is currently part of the British Museum collection in London. It’s previously left the British Museum to be temporarily exhibited in Wrexham, but it’s never actually made it back to Mold to be temporarily exhibited in the town where it was found. First Minister, as we commemorate and celebrate the Year of Legends, do you share the view of many of my constituents that it would be great to see the gold cape return to be exhibited in the town where it was discovered?
