Our funding along with an equal grant from Cadw for £335,000 that will allow the Landmark Trust to proceed in securing Llwyn Celyn, a grade I listed, single aisled medieval hall house, considered the most significant inhabited building ‘at risk’ in Wales.

Located in the Llanthony Valley, within the Brecon Beacons National Park, Llwyn Celyn is a rare survival thought to date from the late 15th century.  It serves as a textbook example of the development of the British manor house, representing all key developments in British domestic architecture between the 15th and 18th centuries within its walls. 

These grants will now enable the Landmark Trust to continue its negotiations to acquire, restore and preserve Llwyn Celyn, its farmstead and surrounding land for future generations to enjoy.
