Description

Triple harp awarded as a prize by Augusta Hall (Lady Llanover) at the Abergavenny Eisteddfod, 1848. As a prominent member of Cymreigyddion y Fenni, Lady Llanover set competitions for triple harpists in their eisteddfodau. Rather than receiving a medal or cash as a prize, the winner would be awarded a new harp. This harp was won by Edward Hughes. Cymreigyddion y Fenni was founded in 1833 to promote Welsh language and culture in Monmouthshire. One of the main aims of the Society was to hold eisteddfodau. These were so popular that a hall was purpose-built in Abergavenny to accommodate them
