Dyserth and Cwm villages combined to create a series of events May-September 1958 for the Welsh Tourist Board’s ‘Festival of Wales’. The Dyserth Women’s Institute rose to the occasion by organising a re-enactment in June of the triple wedding that took place in the Parish Church of St Bridget and St Cwyfan, Dyserth, 27/11/1624. Widower Thomas Mostyn married Gwen, widow of Bishop Parry. Thomas’s son married Gwen’s daughter, and his daughter married Gwen’s son.
