The Judge's Lodging

The Judge's Lodging Museum, Presteigne You can lie on the beds, read the judge’s books and even pump water in the kitchen.

Visit us and you will be in for a treat, for this award-winning historic judge’s accommodation and court offers a most unusual journey back in time. Wander through the judge’s private apartments and make yourself at home, for The Judge’s Lodging is an historic house with a difference – you can touch! Below stairs there is the full range of servants’ rooms to explore, with kitchens, sleeping quarte

rs and workrooms; a whole gaslit world to discover. The tour is finished by a trip to the vast echoing courtroom, where you are haunted by the echoes of trials long since concluded. You are guided through this Victorian world by an eavesdropping’ audiotour featuring the voice of actor Robert Hardy. If you have children to entertain, you don’t have to worry about being told off every time they move, because the building is family-friendly. They have their own activities and guidebook to help them explore. The're a pop up tea room, run by our wonderful volunteers, serving an array of teas, coffees and soft drinks, all from Mid Wales companies and yummy cakes,baked just 100 yards from our building. Oh, and although our listed Opening Hours show that we are closed on Mondays, we make an exception for Bank Holiday Mondays, so if you are having a break during one of the long weekends please call in to see us!
