Kennixton Farmhouse, Grade II listed farmhouse in St Fagans, Wales.
Kennixton Farmhouse is a red-painted dwelling with traditional stone construction located in St Fagans, Wales. The two-story building contains a dining room, kitchen, and sleeping quarters, with a main kitchen dating to 1680 and a back kitchen from around 1750.
The farmhouse was built in 1610 in Kennexstone, Llangennith, Gower and relocated to the St Fagans National Museum of History in 1952. The move allowed the building to be preserved and opened to public access.
The interior displays traditional Welsh domestic life through a box-bed positioned by the fireplace and carved wooden figures adorning the doorway. These details reveal how rural families organized their living spaces and expressed their identity through simple household features.
Visitors can explore multiple rooms including a parlor with period furnishings and two kitchen areas showcasing different periods of household use. The building sits within the museum grounds where other historic houses are also on display.
The Rogers family resided in the house continuously from its construction in 1610 until its transfer to the museum in 1952. This extended occupation by a single family across multiple generations offers insight into the stability of rural Welsh households.
