Close by the Market Square is another survival of the Great Fire, a building known as the Welsh House. It was originally built in about 1595 by a Dr Prytherch who recorded and celebrated his Welsh heritage by installing a plaque on the front of the building which includes a motto in the Welsh language: “HEB DYW HEB DYM DYWA DIGON” (“Without God, without everything; with God, enough”). The house has suffered alterations during its long life and the façade was rebuilt to the original design in 1975.
11 trees!
