Hundred House - History
Constructed during 1524 using local Radnor stone and under the reign of King Henry VIII, The Hundred House was built for use as the first formal Radnorshire Court House and obtained its name due to it serving initially 100 families and then 100 towns, villages and hamlets in the county. Judges ruled over civil and criminal cases for 350 years until the 1870’s when the Courts were transferred to the larger local town of Presteigne and the redundant Tudor/Medieval property was converted for use as a public house.
Having been acquired by new owners in 2015 and following a major investment (during which the property was also extended with traditional Oak Framed materials and construction methods) the restored/renovated/extended property reopened for business in April 2017. The original court house is now a family home and the Restaurant (The Hundred House Inn) occupies the site of the Barn & Stables that was built to serve the Judges, Legal Officers & members of the public whilst visiting the courts.
