More information

Operational information

A Tudor home

The building, dating back to 1550, was owned by the Prichard family. At the beginning of the Stuart dynasty the family’s wealth and prosperity increased, and the house was extended in 1628, creating the grand staircase and oak-panelled family rooms that can be seen today.

All the furnishings in the rooms are accurate reproductions from the time of the Prichards in the 16^th and 17^th centuries. You can also visit the Museum of Welsh Life at nearby St Fagans to see original furniture from the period.
