The Prince of Wales Inn (Welsh: Tafarn y Tywysog Cymru), formerly Kenfig Town Hall (Welsh: Neuadd y Dref Cynffig), is a public house in Heol Gorllewin, Kenfig, Bridgend County Borough, Wales.
The new building was commissioned with the benefit of monies left by a former portreeve of the borough, Evan Griffith, in the early 17th century.
The room also served as the venue for the bi-annual meetings of the court leet,[1] and, on occasion, was used as a mortuary for sailors whose bodies had washed ashore on nearby beaches following shipwrecks.
[4][5] The building also incorporated the local public house, which was known as the New House Tavern (Welsh: Ty Newydd) until the late 18th century, when it was renamed The Prince of Wales Inn (Welsh: Tafarn y Tywysog Cymru), in honour of the then Prince of Wales.
[11] Objects of interest in the building include a pewter copy of the municipal ceremonial mace, the original of which was acquired in 1714 and is now kept in the Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales.
