P-04-403  Saving Plas Cwrt yn Dre/Old Parliament House for the Nation

Petition wording:

We call upon the National Assembly of Wales to instruct the Welsh Government to purchase Plas Cwrt yn Dre also known as Dolgellau’s Old Parliament House before this national treasure is sold on the open market and lost for ever.

Additional information:  Plas Cwrt yn Dre, also known as Owain Glyndwr’s Old Parliament House was moved from Dolgellau to the Dolerw Park, Newtown in 1886.  The Quakers, who currently own it can no longer afford to maintain it and are selling it for £55,000.  It is undoubtedly a national treasure and we think it should be purchased by the Welsh Government for the nation.
