The Radnorshire Arms is a well-preserved Jacobean building in the Welsh border town of Presteigne, in Powys. The building has the date 1616 over its door[1] but it is claimed it dates to the 16th century, once owned by Sir Christopher Hatton, a lawyer and politician, Lord Chancellor of England and rumoured lover of Queen Elizabeth I.[2] In 1616 it became home to a local man, John Bradshaw.} The building became an inn in 1792 and had several additions around 1875.[1] There are also many anomalies inside the Hotel itself, caused by the large number of changes and additions to the original structure. In 1875 a secret chamber was discovered off of what is now the Resident's Lounge, which turned out to be a Priest Hole. Behind one of the panels was the diary of a Catholic Priest who had been hiding there for two years. [2] Originally a private residence, The hotel is a Grade II* listed building.[3] References1. ^1 Silvester, R.J. & Martin, C.H.R. CPAT Report No 1088: Historic settlements in Radnorshire.
