Event details
Friday 5th April 2019 - Meet at 10.30 for an 11.00 prompt start.
Llwyn Celyn is Grade I Listed and is one of the finest medieval houses in Wales. Owned by the Landmark Trust, it is probably one of their best known and most complex projects to date. The Farmhouse has recently completed a £4million restoration after being shrouded in emergency scaffolding since the early 1990’s and with more than 2 years of on-site work. The project has been the subject of a recent Channel 4 two-part documentary.
We will be guided by Landmark’s Project Surveyor, Richard Burton who has been involved with the building for the past 7 ½ years.
Unfortunately our visit will be strictly limited in size to 12 so that members achieve as much as possible from the tour. We also need to limit disruption to the housekeeping team, as the property will be getting ready for a new holiday let on the same day.
After lunch we will visit the beautiful Grade I listed St Issui’s Church, Partrishow, a short distance away. The church dates back to the 11th century but was mostly constructed in the 14th & 15th centuries and sensitively restored around 1908-09.

About the Gloucestershire Regional Group
Lynne Pardoe, Group Organiser, says "It was ten years ago when I came to live in Gloucestershire and, surprised by the absence of a SPAB group, I started one. Since then its gone from strength to strength, with a steady core of regular attenders and an ever changing background of newer members. Since I don’t work in the field of conservation I rely on suggestions to arrange visits which don’t usually open for the public and thankfully, because I’ve been running it so long people know me and will make suggestions, or offer up their own properties for a visit. I love this."
