If you were unfortunate to steal such items as a loaf of bread in the 1600's in Penyffordd you could have found yourself in front of the infamous Judge George Jeffreys at Plas Teg.
Hanging was frequently the punishment. It did not matter whether you were man, woman or child.
Plas Teg is open for guided tours most Sundays. A most interesting place. Well worth a visit.
A big thanks to Simon and Susan for the guided tour. Perhaps I'll add more when I have thawed out........
