Any solicitors wishing to clear some shelf space and do their bit for history might be interested in an appeal launched by Suzana Edwards of Trawscoed Mansion in Wales. It is asking lawyers to donate leather bound or decorative hardback law books (of any age) for the restoration of the 100-room Trawscoed mansion. The mansion’s library (pictured in 1890) is said to be the finest Empire-style room in Wales. While the bookshelves remain, the 3,900 books that once graced them have long gone, and replacements are needed for the project, which will be featured on Channel Four. Those who contribute will receive due credit in the programme’s publicity. Contact Suzana Edwards on 01974 261133. Books will be collected.
