Tretower Castle Talk
‘A Pretty Castle and a Fair Place’
The conservation and interpretation of Tretower Court and Castle
The 24th Sir John Lloyd Memorial Lecture which will be given by Dr David Robinson at
7 p.m. in the Theatre Brycheiniog, Brecon on Friday 1st April 2022.
Dr Robinson’s topic is the group of medieval buildings found at Tretower in the Usk Valley: one of the most remarkable in all Wales. The late medieval Tretower Court was saved for the nation by the Brecknock Society in 1930 and the twelfth-century castle was taken into the care of the State in 1947. Dr Robinson’s interest in Tretower has developed over several decades and his lecture will look at the subsequent conservation work at both buildings, and at the various interpretations placed on them by different generations of historians. He, himself, is an architectural historian with a wealth of research experience working both for Cadw and English Heritage and is very well known as a lecturer and teacher.
