Description

Plas Newydd was the home of 'The Ladies of Llangollen' between 1780 and 1831. During this period they commissioned a series of alterations and additions to the house which transformed it from a small cottage to an elaborate 'gothic' style home. Their passion for oak carvings was particularly striking and they collected panels from old buildings and pieces of furniture to decorate the house.
