Yr Ysgwrn is a cultural symbol for the people of Wales; representing the life and achievements of one of Wales’ most famous poets, Ellis Humphrey Evans. It and the associated farm buildings were purchased in 2012 by the Snowdonia National Park Authority to establish Yr Ysgwrn as a museum and visitor destination, presenting its timeless messages about culture, society and war. Purcell was appointed as the lead consultant to explore a sympathetic strategy, design and oversee the delivery of the project, and this conservation design brings the historical farmstead back to life as a multiple award-winning cultural centre.
