Petition: Sycharth, the home of Owain Glyndŵr, should be bought to safeguard the site for future generations.

History is such a key subject for us here in Wales. Stories from our nation show us how we have developed over the centuries to become what we are today. Notable characters have steered this interesting history, with none more prominent than Owain Glyndŵr, who has contributed so much to our identity, and for many, he is a symbol of the nation. It is very disheartening to see that Sycharth, Glyndŵr's home, is almost forgotten deep in the heart of rural Powys, and the place is not very accessible for people to visit.

The Senedd will debate this petition on 13 September 2023.

Notable characters have steered this interesting history, with none more prominent than Owain Glyndŵr, who has contributed so much to our identity, and for many, he is a symbol of the nation.

It is time for the Government to ensure that this vital site is safeguarded for the next generation, by purchasing it and ensuring that it is more accessible to enable people to visit and appreciate this wonderful site. It is disappointing to see that all our castles throughout Wales are protected, but that this site is hardly advertised, not to mention celebrated. It’s time to change the way we view the history of Wales, and Sycharth would be a good starting point.
