A BBC documentary that explores historical sites around Wales is to shine a spotlight on a remote farmhouse in Powys.

In ‘Hidden Wales: Last Chance to Save’, Will Millard explores the crumbling ruins of some of Wales’ historic architecture.

The series will tell the stories of these historic sites and interview the people working to protect, preserve and restore endangered buildings.

One of those endangered buildings is located in Powys.

Esgair Llewelyn, north of Machynlleth near Cemmaes Road, is a remote upland farmhouse of considerable historic interest.

The house has not been lived in since 1909, and preserves the plan and architectural detail of a late medieval hall house.

Speaking in the programme, Mr Millard said; “Wales is full of historic architecture but much of it is crumbling before our very eyes. They’re hiding in plain sight.

“Often you’ll walk past these buildings every single day without even realising they have these incredible histories or extraordinary stories to tell.

“But these places once stood at the heart of our communities or in the middle of nowhere.

“They’re so much more than just bricks and mortar, they’re places where we once loved, lived, worked and died. But many have gone and we’re in real danger of losing more of our vital history forever.”

The first episode of ‘Hidden Wales: Last Chance to Save’ is scheduled to be broadcast on BBC Wales and BBC Four on March 1 at 8 pm.
