The arrangement of 'hedge alcoves' sometimes seen in formal gardens may be a form of bee bole, such as at Erddig Hall in Clwyd, Cymru.
In the 1806 book Microcosm by William Henry Pyne, a number of these archery clubs are mentioned, along with a brief capsule history of both working and hobby archery.
Erddig |
Robert Davies is known to have made gates for Erddig, but they were removed during a subsequent remodelling of the park by William Emes.
These are named after local rivers and places - the River Alun, Bersham, River Clywedog, River Dee, Erddig and the River Gwenfro.
