What is recorded here

Hole in The Wall Street and Palace Street still drop into the hollow where Plas Mawr stood before the market hall took its place. The Post Medieval building turned a private estate into a public feeding place, forcing carts, sellers and hungry people through the same gap the mansion had swallowed. Stone rooms and street angles preserve that change, recording how a household boundary became a marketplace and the wall became a hole for everyone to pass through.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Market Hall, Palace Street and Hole in The Wall Street - on site of Plas Mawr as Market Hall from the Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Plas Mawr, built in the late 16th century by Robert Wynn of Gwydir, is an important example of Elizabethan domestic architecture in Wales. It is remembered as one of the best-preserved town houses of the period and reflects the wealth and status of the Welsh gentry.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
