Historic House Rescue

In 2007 when the Landmark Trust was first approached to take on Llwyn Celyn, a medieval farmstead built on a Welsh hillside in 1420, it was “in a perilous state of disrepair and on the brink of collapse”. But the derelict property was historically important in Welsh architecture as well as being a textbook example of the development of a manor house. So a massive restoration project began to take it back to how it looked in the more prosperous 17th century.

Second part of documentary follows the work, uncovering Llwyn Celyn’s fascinating history and revealing the painstaking process of transforming an endangered structure into a restored – and habitable – masterpiece.
