Tudor Court is a house 0.5 miles (1 km) south of the village of Penley, Wrexham, Wales. It was originally called Llannerch Panna.[1]

History

[edit]

The house was built in 1878–79 for Hon. George T. Kenyon, the younger son of the 3rd Baron Kenyon. It was designed by the Chester architect John Douglas.[1] A kitchen wing was added in the 20th century.[2]

Architecture

[edit]

It is entirely half-timbered on a plinth of Ruabon red brick.[1] The bricks for the chimneys and the roof tiles are also from Ruabon. The house is in two storeys and consists of a hall with cross wings, and a two-storeyed porch in the angle of one of the wings. Internally there is a gallery encircling the hall.[2]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
