An interesting historical fact is that when the foundations for the Hall were dug in 1921 two medieval pottery kilns were uncovered. A variety of pieces of pottery were found which dated the kilns to the fifteenth century. One of the kilns is preserved beneath the stage of the Hall and is probably the only medieval Welsh kiln surviving.
