The Judge's Lodging Powys
About This Museum
People come to The Judge's Lodging for a taste of real Victorian life, and it absolutely delivers. You don't just see history here; you walk straight into the 1870s, from the judge's private quarters to the eerie cells below. I was completely captivated by the atmosphere—it felt like the residents had just stepped out for a moment. It’s an incredibly immersive experience that’s far more engaging than your typical static museum.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss sitting in the original courtroom or seeing the handwritten prisoner registers. The restored servants' kitchen, complete with authentic smells, is also a standout that really brings the past to life.
