Famous for its Freemen and their “Black Army” who fought at Crecy, Llantrisant played a pivotal role in the revolts of the Welsh against the Norman overlords. The Castle was an overnight prison for Edward II, the town produced a Lord Mayor of London while the eccentric Dr William Price’s actions led to the passing of the cremation act. Hear the tales of Llantrisant’s darker past. The grisly murders, epidemics, workhouses, prostitutes and the streets lined with pubs and drunken brawls!
