There is a parallel between the meaning of the Norman French, Mold, and the Welsh name, Yr Wyddgrug.
Well I never....

Lived in Mold for years and never knew that....

Next time I see the old welsh biddy I will call her a liar because she told me that Yr Wyddgrug meant "The heather"...

Which admittedly grows in pletiful quantities and colours around there....
