Like all houses, Plas Newydd has been through several changes over the years. From the flamboyant extravagance of the 5th Marquess, converting a chapel into a theatre, to the more practical changes brought about by the 6th Marquess and the Marchioness in the 1930s; including the addition of modern plumbing and central heating.
Today, the house is undergoing a major refit of all the essential services, just as it did over 70 years ago. With teams of specialist contractors on site for the next 2 years, it will be the biggest upheaval to the house since the 1930s.
A new experience
From 20 July 2019, we’ll be transforming the way in which our visitors experience the house. Delving into family history and archives shared with us by The Marquess of Anglesey, and working together with architects, vPPR, an award-winning team based in London.
