Gunter Mansion, Grade II* listed building in Cross Street, Abergavenny, Wales
The 17th-century Gunter Mansion spans three floors with an attic space and features traditional Welsh architectural elements at 37-39 Cross Street.
Thomas Gunter constructed this residence after the 1558 Act of Supremacy, creating a secret chapel in the attic for Catholic worship during persecution.
The mansion's attic chapel contains a preserved mural of the Adoration of the Magi, reflecting the religious practices of persecuted Welsh Catholics.
The Welsh Georgian Trust maintains regular guided tours of the mansion, allowing visitors to explore the historical rooms and preserved architectural features.
This mansion served as the final prayer location for Saint David Lewis before his execution in 1679 during the period of Catholic persecution.
