Our renovation plans

Plas Gunter Mansion is a capsule of stories from the past 400 years.

From peaceful domesticity to Catholic resistance, commercial use to historic revival, the building is now embarking on a new chapter in its history. 

New spaces

  1. A welcome space on the ground floor, leading to an exhibition on the first floor and access to the hidden attic chapel on the second floor.
  2. A new extension to the first floor, housing a plant room, toilets and lift.
  3. A first-floor flexible meeting space, available to hire.
  4. Upgraded ground floor commercial units for local businesses.
  5. Two office spaces on the second floor, for the Trust and/or local business.
  6. A garden and event space, full of native planting to encourage biodiversity and a peaceful environment.


The stories we will tell

  1. Saints and secrecy
  2. Faith under fire
  3. Rescued from ruin



Interpretation

Below are some visual representations of how we might interpret an exhibition and the various rooms. They are not the finished article, rather ideas which bring the spaces to life.
