Llwyd Mansion is thought to be the finest timber framed building in Oswestry to still be standing.
It was built in 1604 for John Lloyd (or Llwyd in Welsh) as a home and shop area at the bottom.
The building has retained its 'original' look over the years, even though it was restored around 1875 due to some renovation needs.
