Plas Uchaf, Medieval hall house in Cynwyd, Wales
The rectangular structure features a high-ceiling hall divided by a cross passage, with smaller rooms arranged across two floors at the east end point.
Built in 1435, Plas Uchaf served as the residence for the barons of Cymmer-yn-Edeirnion before transitioning into separate laborers' cottages by the 18th century.
The building exemplifies traditional Welsh architectural techniques through its cruck-and-aisle-truss design and original half-timbered walls, later replaced with stone rubble.
The Landmark Trust maintains the Grade I listed building as holiday accommodation, generating funds for its continued preservation and maintenance.
The hall contains an unusual aisle truss between its cross-passage and main hall, a feature typically found in larger ecclesiastical structures and barns.
