Wales’ Oldest Prefab?
 |
 |
A remarkable oak framed house, Neuadd Cynhinfa in Dolannog, takes centre stage in the programme. Built in 1509 it is a very rare survivor of an early form of construction where the oak frame was fitted with exterior oak panelling instead of the more common ‘wattle and daub’. In the sixteenth century oak was only used by the rich, so the ostentatious use of the wood at every opportunity shows that the owners were determined to display their wealth.
