Never was a building better named. Plas Mawr, or the Great Hall, is quite simply the finest surviving Elizabethan town house anywhere in Britain.This was a golden age when fabulously wealthy merchants invested in mansions, rich fittings and lavish entertaining. Robert Wynn, third son of a local landowner, wanted a piece of the action.He entered the service of Tudor diplomats and travelled to the most splendid royal courts of Europe. His fortune made, he bought a mansion house in Conwy for £200 and between 1576 and 1585 turned it into a celebration of his life, times and wealth. (Visit Wales)
After we toured Conwy Castle, we visited this beautiful house in the summer of 2023. It was like going back in time when you are inside the town house as you tour the different parts of the house listening to interesting trivia and where you also get to know about the lives of the people who once lived there.
