Wern-ddu Farmhouse, Llantilio Pertholey

Wern-ddu farmhouse, Llantilio Pertholey, Monmouthshire is a farmhouse of 17th century origins. It has been significantly altered in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries and the Monmouthshire antiquarian, Sir Joseph Bradney recorded that it had "suffered so much by continual alterations that it shows but little of its antiquity". It is a Grade II* listed building. History Sir Joseph Bradney described Wern-ddu as "in its origins one of the oldest in the county". He ascribed the original building to the Herbert family. Cadw considers the current building to date from the early 17th century, while the architectural historian John Newman places it somewhat later, in the late 17th century. Sir Cyril Fox and Lord Raglan, in the second of their three-volume history of vernacular architecture Monmouthshire Houses, give a date of c.1675. Wern-ddu was reconstructed in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries and Bradney recorded in the early 20th century that "it shows but little of its antiquity". It remains a private house. The historical importance of the house was long recognised. The American journalist and diplomat Wirt Sikes, United States consul at Cardiff in the 1870s and 1880s, recorded an encounter between its last hereditary owner, Roger ap Probert, and a stranger, in his Rambles and Studies in Old South Wales, published in 1881. Questioned as to the history of the house, Probert replied; "Werndu (is) a very ancient house. Out of it came the Earls of Pembroke, the Lords Herbert of Cherbury, the Herberts of Coldbrook, the Joneses of Treowen and Llanarth and all the Powells; also, by the female line, came the Dukes of Beaufort". Architecture and description John Newman describes the farmhouse as being of a "semi-double-pile plan". It is built of rendered Old Red Sandstone rubble and is of two storeys with attics, and a three-storey stair turret. The roof is of Welsh slate. It contains an important staircase, which Newman considers "a fine piece" and a "coffered wooden ceiling with bold mouldings". It is a Grade II* listed building.

St Dingat's Church, Dingestow

The Church of St Dingat in Dingestow, Monmouthshire, Wales, is a parish church dating from the 14th century. It is dedicated to Saint Dingat or Dingad, a 5th-century Welsh saint. The church was almost completely rebuilt by Thomas Henry Wyatt in 1846 and further renovated by Richard Creed in 1887–1888. It is an active parish church and a Grade II* listed building. History The origins of the church date from the 14th century, though almost nothing remains of this period. In the early 19th century, the Monmouthshire antiquarian Charles Heath described the original church, "it is a mean building and has nothing to attract the eye of curiosity, consisting only of a nave without side-isles". The tower was rebuilt in 1846 by the architect T. H. Wyatt, who worked extensively in Monmouthshire. Later in the 19th century further renovations took place under the supervision of Richard Creed. The church remains an active parish church. Architecture and description The church is built of sandstone and puddingstone rubble. It comprises a nave with porch, a North transept, a chancel and Wyatt's tower. The architectural historian John Newman describes the stained glass as comprising roundels depicting the Lamb of God and symbols of the Four Evangelists. The North transept functions as the chapel of the Bosanquet family of Dingestow Court and contains memorials to members of the family dating from 1806 to 1975. The church is a Grade II* listed building, its listing recording the building as "the principal architectural feature in the village of Dingestow". Notes References Heath, Charles (1804).

Croesnewydd Hall

Croesnewydd Hall is a Grade II* listed building in Wrexham Technology Park, in the west of Wrexham, North Wales. It was built in 1696 as a small mansion, with a farmhouse, possibly to the designs of Peter Ellice. It was purchased and renovated in the 1980s by Clwyd County Council into offices as part of the technology park to develop hi-tech services to assist the neighbouring medical institutions, such as Wrexham Maelor Hospital. The brick building also houses a cafe in the adjoining glazed atrium. Description and history Croesnewydd Hall is located in Wrexham Technology Park, within Offa, Wrexham. It serves as the centre-piece of the technology park. It is located next to Wrexham Maelor Hospital and other medical institutions such as a nerve centre. It was built in 1696 as a small mansion and a farmhouse, replacing an earlier building. It was possibly designed by Peter Ellice, and was the second building built on the site. In c. 1985, it was extensively restored and extended. It was converted into offices, although also described as a "medical technology and business development centre" by Clwyd County Council, who had purchased the building, to develop a hi-tech sector assisting the neighbouring medical institutions. In 2016, a private medical practice located in the building and run by Grosvenor Medical, introduced 3D/4D pregnancy scanning. The School of Medical and Health Sciences of Bangor University is also connected to the building. The Servery is attached to the hall, and has catering facilities, such as a kitchen. It is situated within a fully glazed atrium, which links the main parts of the hall with the NHS Medical Institute. In 2019, a cafe known as "The Atrium Cafe" was established in this part of the building. The building's exterior is made of brick, and the building is two-storeys high. It has a hipped slate roof, and internally has attics and a cellar (its attic could be classed as a third storey). The hall is arranged in a shallow U-plan, with its entrance facing the west, while its wings enclose a small courtyard to its east. It has side entrances. The building is an early example of a brick building in "this part of North Wales". The building's entrance hall covers a central range, and either side there are principal rooms. The hall lends its name to the general area which may be also known as Croesnewydd, centred around Wrexham Maelor Hospital, as well as the former large steam locomotive, marshalling yard and railway junction within the area known by the derivative Croes Newydd.

Cilgerran Castle

Cilgerran Castle (walisisk: Castell Cilgerran) er en middelalderborg, der ligger Cilgerran, Pembrokeshire, Wales, nær Cardigan. Man mener at den første borg på stedet blev opført af Gerald af Windsor omkring 1110–1115, og den skiftede hænder adskillige gange imellem engelske og walisiske tropper i de efterfølgende århundreder. Mens William Marshal, 2. jarl af Pembroke blev genopførslen af borgen i sten påbegyndt på et tidspunkt efter 1223. Efter at have været arvet igennem forskellige familier blev den til forladt omkring år 1400. Borgen ligger ud til en klippeside, og de tilbageværende ruiner stammer fra 1200-tallet. Det var den stærkest befæstet ind mod land, og inkluderer et par store runde tårne, i stedet for et centralt keep, der stadig står. I 1938 overgik borgen til National Trust, der driver den som en turistattraktion åben for offentligheden.

Château de Cilgerran

Le château de Cilgerran est un château en ruines du XIIIe siècle situé à Cilgerran, près d'Aberteifi, dans le comté de Pembroke, au pays de Galles. Le château est une propriété du National Trust, sous la tutelle du Cadw (agence exécutive des monuments historiques gallois). Situation Le château est situé sur un promontoire rocheux au-dessus de la rivière Teifi. Histoire Un château de terre et de bois aurait été construit aux alentours de 1100, bien que la maçonnerie actuelle date du XIIIe siècle. Ce château peut avoir été la scène de l'enlèvement de l'épouse de Gérald de Windsor, la princesse Nest ferch Rhys, par Owain ap Cadwgan et quinze compagnons durant Noël 1109. Les chroniques prétendent que cet événement a eu lieu au château de Cenarth Bychan qui est supposé avoir été le château de Cilgerran. En 1215, le château a été pris par Llywelyn le Grand. En 1223, le château a été repris par Guillaume le Maréchal le jeune, comte de Pembroke, qui a reconstruit le château dans sa forme actuelle. Il a ensuite été accordé par Henry VII à la famille Vaughan qui a continué à l'occuper jusqu'au début du XVIIe siècle, lorsqu'elle a construit une nouvelle demeure à proximité. Description Le château est essentiellement en ruines, bien qu'il reste deux importantes tours. Depuis le château, il y a des promenades qui mènent à la rivière Teifi.

Castello di Cilgerran

Il castello di Cilgerran (in inglese Cilgerran Castle; in gallese Castell Cilgerran) è un castello in rovina del villaggio gallese di Cilgerran, nel Pembrokeshire (Galles sud-occidentale), eretto forse agli inizi del XII secolo e ricostruito agli inizi del XIII secolo. L'edificio è classificato come castello di primo grado. Storia La costruzione del castello di Cilgerran fu probabilmente voluta da Enrico I d'Inghilterra per rafforzare il controllo della Corona sui territori del Galles sud-occidentale. Il primo proprietario del castello fu Gerald de Windsor, signore del Pembrokeshire, anche se potrebbe sussistere un’identificazione incerta e forse errata dell’originario castello di Cilgerran con il castello di Cenarth Bychan. Gerald di Windsor era sposato con la principessa gallese Nest verch Rhys, figlia di Rhys ap Tewdwr e nota come la quale pare avesse una relazione con il futuro principe di Powys Owain ap Cadwgan (e per questo nota come "Elena" del Galles): quest'ultimo, per conquistarla, avrebbe attaccato il castello di Cenarth Bychan (castello di Cilgerran?) nel 1109. Le prime menzioni certe di un edificio denominato "castello di Cilgerran" risalgono tuttavia soltanto al 1164-1165, quando la struttura venne attaccata e conquistata da Lord Rhys. Il castello venne però riconquistato nel 1223 da William Marshall II, conte di Pembrokeshire, che in seguito intraprese un'ampia opera di ristrutturazione dell'edificio. A Marshall si deve tra l'altro l'aggiunta di due possenti torri circolari. Tra la fine del XIII secolo e gli inizi del XIV secolo, il castello si trovava in uno stato di rovina, ma fu in seguito rinforzato negli anni settanta del XIV secolo per volere di re Edoardo III d'Inghilterra a protezione di un’eventuale invasione da parte dei Francesi e successivamente sottoposto a un’opera di restauro tra il 1388 e il 1390. In seguito, il castello subì nuovamente dei seri danni nel 1405, quando fu attaccato nel corso dell'insurrezione di Owain Glyndwr. In seguito, il castello perse progressivamente la sua funzione militare. In epoca Tudor, la proprietà del castello venne ceduta da Enrico VII d'Inghilterra alla famiglia Vaughan, che vi abitò fino al XVII secolo, ovvero fino a quando costruì nelle vicinanze una nuova residenza A partire poi dal XVIII secolo, vennero organizzate delle visite turistiche alle rovine del castello con delle escursioni in barca da Cardigan. Architettura Il castello è situato su un promontorio boscoso che si affaccia sul fiume Teifi. L’edificio è sorretto da due torri circolari che si ergono nella parte meridionale della struttura, mentre l’ingresso è situato nella parte occidentale.
