Next Wednesday, 2nd September, we are running a trip to The Judge's Lodging, Presteigne, The Judge’s Lodging is a beautifully preserved Victorian courthouse and living history museum that offers a unique glimpse into 19th-century legal and domestic life. Housed inside the 1829 Radnorshire Shire Hall, this award-winning attraction features a rare, completely interactive "hands-on" policy, allowing you to sit in the judge’s chair, explore the plush judicial apartments, and pump water in the servant quarters. Fully restored to its 1870s appearance and illuminated by authentic gas lighting, the building contrasts the luxurious lifestyle of the visiting magistrates with the bleak reality of the damp basement prison cells below. An immersive audio guide brings the halls to life through the voices of past residents, making it a captivating destination for history enthusiasts.
We will be departing Tenbury at 10am, a couple of hours to explore the museum then a refreshment stop on the way home at Megs Cafe, Shobdon Airfield.
