Welcome and thank you for visiting our website
The restoration of Wye Undercroft has been a painstaking but exciting project for a number of years. Now that we are open to the public, we invite you to explore our website for historical information, renovation detail and our future plans.
The Wye Undercroft
Medieval undercrofts are stone built with vaulted bays, and were used for the storage of valued provisions.
Wye's fine example was designated as a scheduled monument in 1986. The undercroft in Wye was constructed in the late 13th century and would almost certainly have been used to store wine.
Visitors can easily identify the top of the cellar entrance at ground level, but the size, scale and beauty of what lies below can only be appreciated by a visit underground.
Timeline
From the 13th to the 21st Century is a long time!
See the history of Wye Undercroft condensed into an easy to assimilate timeline before looking into more detail
What does the future hold?
The Undercroft will initially be opened for short guided visits to allow the history of the site to be understood.
In time we hope to involve local wine producers to arrange tasting events and develop a display of items linked to the ancient wine trade.
