Description: | This fine pencil drawing depicts the grand interior courtyard of Plas Mawr house in Conwy, North Wales.
Plas Mawr is a superbly preserved Elizabethan town house. The construction of the house commenced in 1576 and was completed in 1595 under the supervision of Robert Wynn, a wealthy merchant. It is one of the few buildings of its kind to be left untouched over the centuries; almost all the plasterwork remains intact. The property displays fine chestnut roof-trusses, unusual spiral staircases and elaborate crow-stepped gabling. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Blore, Edward | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
