Bedwellty House has a significance that goes far beyond south Wales. Built in 1818 and originally home to one of the most successful ironmasters in Wales, it was later given to the people of Tredegar and its local council. Aneurin Bevan, the architect of the National Health Service, began his political career in the council chamber at Bedwellty House.
The council has worked with Barker Langham for four years to develop and deliver this flagship project for the region, and we are now leading on the implementation of the interpretation for the house and park, including wayfinding, signage, interactive and audio-visual material.
“Barker Langham’s advice was pivotal to the success of the project,” says David Watkins, from Blaenau Gwent Council, “as was their engagement with the local community which has been exemplary.”
