Fantastic historical heritage right in the heart of ancient Bridgend that you probably didn't know about. Make a point of visiting on one of the open days. Check the Facebook group for details

Well worth a visit, very interesting, bigger than expected and dog friendly 😃. It was advertised as open on the Saturday on Facebook, 10am till 4pm. So check dates so you don't get disappointed.

This is an interesting local gem and one of, if not the, oldest houses in Bridgend. Originally a house owned by the Knights Hospitaller of St John, it has an outer metal gate showing their white cross on a black background. The trust’s job is to keep this building in good repair and out of the hands of developers. They host open days on the last Saturday of every month at which anyone is welcome. These days often include some “living history” that can involve bread making, candle making, archery and suchlike. Definitely worth a visit. I suggest you take follow the link above, to their website. It really is interesting reading.

Beautiful, fascinating, and much loved historical house, probably the oldest in Bridgend, with well presented interpretation and discussion pieces and a team of dedicated, friendly, and very knowledgeable volunteers. The house is a rare survivor of an early Tudor hearth passage house, and has some carved stone plaques, possibly medieval, which may relate to the medieval order of St John (Knights Hospitallers). One of the best things is that much is unknown, with more mystery than history, so visitors can bring along their ideas and share them, and such debate is highly valued by the St John's team.
