Plas Gunter Mansion awarded over £3 million from The National Lottery Heritage Fund
Plas Gunter Mansion Trust was recently awarded a delivery grant by The National Lottery Heritage Fund to conserve and transform the house into a cultural and community hub.
We are currently involved in the project as part of a design team led by Purcell. As stated in the Trust's press release, "plans include a visitor exhibition which will bring the mansion’s fascinating history alive, and a wide-ranging programme of events and activities has been planned to engage more people in the heritage of Gunter Mansion whilst strengthening ties with the local community. Work on the building will start before the end of the year and it is expected to open in March 2028."
Commenting on the award, Owen Davies, Chair of Plas Gunter Mansion Trust, said: “We are thrilled to have received this support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. The potential of our project to engage more people with heritage, boost the local economy and make Abergavenny a better place to live, work and visit is considerable. Thanks to National Lottery players we will open the most historic parts of the building to the public for the first time and reveal a capsule of stories from the past 400 years."
