The Myddelton family were substantial landowners and benefactors in and around Denbigh in the north-east of Wales. As landowners and members of parliament, a number of its members were elevated to the baronetcy. For several generations, the family were governors of Denbigh Castle and owned Chirk Castle well into the 20th century.
The Myddelton family coat of arms, as found on Chirk Castle
The Myddelton Family coat of arms features their motto, "In veritate triumpho" (I triumph in trouth), and can be found over the entrance to Chirk Castle in North Wales, which had been bought by Sir Thomas Myddelton in 1595 for £5,000. After 400 years of family ownership, the Castle was transferred to the National Trust in 1981, although family members lived at the Castle until 2004.[2]
