Plas Mawr

    Our class went to Conwy to visit Plas Mawr, a Tudor house, in which Dorothy Wynn, Robert Wynn and their children lived in Tudor times.

Year 4 recording their research.

We started in the hall and lots of us were startled by the well-carved chest and all of the furniture.

    We then moved into the kitchen where the smell of herbs hit us. There were lots of cooking utensils and even Tudor food. The pantry next to the kitchen wasn't a pretty sight. There were dead animals hanging from the ceiling.

   Next there was the parlour. It was full of lovely carvings. On the door there was a Celtic knot.

The brew house which came next has now been turned into a place where you can find out all about Plas Mawr.

    Through the door was the courtyard where there was what seemed like a big chest but was actually a well. The lady in Plas Mawr kindly showed us inside and there was still water in it. We looked up at the windows and could see the letters R. W. (Robert Wynn) and a date which was 1576.

    We then went into Robert Wynn's bedroom. It had three rooms in one - toilet, changing room and bedroom.

Year 4 enjoying their trip to Plas Mawr.

Next came Dorothy Wynn's bedroom, which had most things in it including one of the first Bibles in Welsh, printed in 1620, and a four poster-bed with lots of carvings on it and lots more.

    The biggest room was the great chamber. It was full of old clocks, plates and cups and chairs.

    We had a lovely day at Plas Mawr. I was very impressed and would give it an interest rating of 10 out of 10.
