This is claimed to be Britain's finest Elizabethan Town House. It belonged to Robert Wynne or Gwynne who had been an influential merchant. He was fond of grandeur and when he had the house built filled it with colour and symbols of grandeur, both new and old -fashioned It was built between 1576 and 1585.
Not all rooms have been furnished but you can see the Lower Dining Hall, kitchen and pantry, and courtyard on the ground floor. Upstairs are bedrooms and the great hall.
It is well worth the visit.
Note especially the ornamental plasterwork in the hall, repainted in its original colours, and the ceilings. He had his initials RW or RG and those of his wife Dorothy [DG] carved everywhere along with his own and the royal coat of arms.

There is an audio guide available free, and in various rooms audio-visual displays as well.

There is also a possibility that the attic is haunted. My daughter was told that Robert's first wife fell ill and died giving birth to her second child . Their 3 year old son also became ill and died. Robert Wynne was said to have blamed the doctor and kept him imprisoned until he died.
