| Summary: | Ty Mawr - ‘Great House’ Nestled in the hills of Montgomeryshire lies a gem of medieval history, the enigmatic Ty Mawr hall (Ball 2009a) rediscovered in the late 20th century, yet over 500 years old. Hidden within a tumbled down brick cow house this remarkable medieval house was the largest aisled hall ever recorded in Wales, a teetering ruin on the point of collapse when first recorded in 1971. Today the restored building serves as a home on the Powis estate and the centre of History Matters, a unique living history museum that aims to bring the sights and sounds of the medieval age to life. |
