We are open!

Our new Arddangosfa Mynachlog Fawr Exhibition opened to the public on Saturday 31st July 2021

​

The exhibition includes a carefully selected collection of items found in the farmhouse and outbuildings to give visitors a insight into the lives of those who used to live here. From tools which show the hard manual work which happened on farm before electricity, to letters and documents which tell the story of family life, and even a few objects connected with superstition and the warding off of evil, there will be lots to explore!

​

Within our exhibition visitors will can time travel using our virtual reconstruction of the site in 1238 and 1947 created by Virtual Histories. Meet the characters and explore the buildings through all four seasons, seeing how life was lived on the farm. 

​

Also within our beautifully restored historic building are sofas to sit and relax in front of the old fireplace, enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, and browse our selection of reference books, magazines and second hand books.

In 2020 the Strata Florida Trust began its latest project in the work to conserve and convert the buildings of Mynachlog Fawr into the Strata Florida Centre. 

​

Since September we have been conserving and converting the Grade II listed Ty Pair and cart shed, adjacent to the Grade II* listed Mynachlog Fawr farmhouse, into the Mynachlog Fawr Exhibition. This exciting project received £92,400 from the NHLF, £80,000 from the World Monuments Fund and £6,000 from the Sacred Landscapes of Medieval Monasteries Project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. 

​

ELM Wales has undertaken the building restoration work, including roofing and slating the dilapidated cart shed, relaying the stone floor, fitting brand new windows and doors.
