Description

The South Wales Choral Union, the Côr Mawr, competed and won at two national choral competitions held at Crystal Palace in 1872 and 1873. The conductor of the choir was Griffith Rhys Jones (1834-97) or 'Caradog' as he was more commonly known. This medallion was presented to Mary Thomas after the choir's victory in the 1873 competition.
