Venue History

Llancaiach Fawr Manor is a historic house located near the village of Nelson in South Wales. Its history dates back to the 16th century when it was constructed around 1550 by the Prichard family, a prominent Welsh gentry family of the time.

The manor was built during a turbulent period in Welsh history. It was designed as a fortified manor house, featuring four-foot thick stone walls surrounding spiral stone staircases connecting different levels, with sturdy wooden doors, serving as protection against potential threats. With the doors firmly shut, the Manor effectively split into two sections, guaranteeing that the inner east wing served as a self-contained sanctuary during times of attack.

In the 17th century, the manor found itself embroiled in the English Civil War. Despite these challenges, the manor survived and continued to serve as a symbol of resilience and endurance.
Over the centuries, the manor underwent various renovations and changes in ownership, each contributing to its rich tapestry of history. In the 20th century, the manor faced neglect until its restoration by the local council, ensuring its preservation as a cultural heritage site for future generations.

Today, Llancaiach Fawr Manor is open to the public as a living history museum, offering visitors a glimpse into life during the 17th century. Costumed guides portray the household staff of the era, providing immersive experiences and educational insights into the manor’s fascinating past. The manor’s well-preserved interiors, including its original oak panelling and period furnishings, offer a captivating journey back in time for visitors
