Plas Coch (also known as 24 and 26 Well St) is a building in Ruthin, Denbighshire, that was Grade II listed on 24 October 1950. [1] It is of medieval origin and is a former 17th-century large town house. It was built in 1613 using red sandstone from the castle; it became home to the constable of the castle. The building is two-storey with attics and has four large windows on each floor. In 1963 it became a banqueting hall owned by Rees Jones who used to trade at the village hall in Llanfair. It became the Conservative Club in 1977 and was slightly altered, offering all-round facilities for functions. [2] [ failed verification ] In 2025 Plas Coch was opened as 'The Dreamatorium' by Lavinia Stamps, a Ruthin-based crafting business. [3]

It has been listed as being architecture of exceptional value for being "a large early C17 town-house, unusual for its stone construction in this area".
