Britain's What's On Event Guide
16th Century Painted Room, Ledbury
Heritage Open Day: 16th Century Wall Paintings were discovered in the late 20th century. Ask questions of the guides. Display cabinets and information boards. Children's activities. The 16th Century Painted Room is in an early 16th century building now used for the Town Council offices. The paintings were done in imitation of the expensive wall hangings and tapestries found in the homes of the aristocracy and have been dated to the mid 1560s. The house is believed to have been built as a new Booth Hall, with the Painted Room used as a Court of Piepowder.
Our guides will be happy to chat to you informally about the paintings and answer your questions.
We have a new roller banner display replicating how we think the wall paintings will have looked when they were first painted.
