| Description |
English: The Hand
Wooden sculpture, 2.3m high, outside The Hand in Llanarmon. A blood red hand features on the coat of arms of the Myddleton family, who lived at the nearby Chirk Castle for half a century. Legend says that the heraldic symbol came to be when Lord Myddleton lay on his deathbed. Unsure which of his sons was born first, he challenged the feuding pair to race on horseback around the castle. The first to return and touch his father’s deathbed would inherit the 13th century fortress. According to the tale, it was a close race. The brothers were tearing up the staircase to the chamber, neck and neck, when one tripped. In a desperate bid not to lose the race and the wealth that went with it, he drew his sword, cut off his own hand and threw it onto his father’s bed, thereby claiming the estate. |
