The third episode of the BBC Wales series ‘The Story of Wales’ looked at how Henry VII captured the English crown and established the Tudor dynasty. Several important buildings were featured in the programme such as Plas Penmynydd in Anglesey, one of the family seats of Henry VII; Gwydir Castle, rebuilt by Meredith ap Ieuan ap Robert following the Wars of the Roses (in which he was a leading supporter of King Henry VII), and Mathafarn in Mongomeryshire, owned by Dafydd Llwyd in 1485, when the Earl of Richmond (later to become King Henry VII) stayed there the night before the battle of Bosworth Field.
The next episode in the series will be: ‘Furnace of Change’ looking at how the Industrial Revolution and the copper and iron trades transformed Wales.
