Stable Block, Tredegar House

The Stable Block at Tredegar House forms part of the complex of buildings at Tredegar House, at Coedkernew, on the western edge of the city of Newport, Wales. The Stables were built by Thomas Morgan, son of William Morgan (of Machen and Tredegar), who had rebuilt the main house as a "grand(.), classical house" between 1664 and 1672. Newman describes the stables as "match(ing) the house in scale and splendor" and the Stable Block, and attached orangery, were listed Grade I on 3 January 1963. and have been in the care of the National Trust since March 2012. History and description The stables were built in 1684–1688 in a Carolean style which followed that used in the rebuilding of the main house. On a grand scale, the building comprises eleven bays and is constructed of red brick, with Bath stone dressings. The architect of the block is not known for certain but Newman follows Howard Colvin in suggesting the brothers, Roger and William Hurlbutt, who had worked in a similar style at Ragley Hall and Warwick Castle. The central carriage arch is framed by Corinthian columns and topped by a pediment with a clock dated 1766. The left hand block contains stabling while the right is empty and may have been used as a riding school. Notes References Newman, John (2002). Gwent/Monmouthshire.

Amroth Castle

Amroth Castle is a Grade I listed building in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is a castellated country house dating mainly from the 18th century built on an earlier, probably 15th century, residence, and is now a holiday venue. Situation The building stands on the north side of an unclassified coast road 0.4 miles (0.6 km) east of the village of Amroth and 5 miles (8 km) northeast of Tenby. It is surrounded by a high wall with an entrance archway at the south-western corner. The present building is a 19th-century country house built in the style of a mock castle which possibly replaced a small stone castle dating from the 12th century. The gatehouse is much restored. The ruinous remains of the house are a Grade I listed building. History The building now known as Amroth Castle was a feudal residence in the early medieval period and was noted by Fenton (in 1810) as being in the hands of John Elliott of Eareweare (the local name for the estate) in 1690 who paid tax on five hearths. It was acquired by the Elliott family in the 14th century. There was an earlier castle half a mile to the north of which little remains. There was extensive rebuilding in the early 18th century but some earlier, probably 15th century, elements remain. Colonel Ackland acquired the property in 1790 and made several alterations and additions. After passing through several hands, including the families of Biddulph and Bevan, the property was used by Dr John Howard Norton from 1851 to 1856 as a private lunatic asylum. It was in the hands of the Fussell family in 1861, and purchased in 1898 by shipping magnate Owen Colby Philipps, who later bought the White Star Line, and was created Baron Kylsant of Carmarthen and Amroth in 1923. He lived there from 1904 to 1920. The property passed to his daughter Nesta, who had married George Coventry, grandson of the 9th Earl of Coventry. They moved out in 1930 when George inherited the Coventry title and estates, and the building became a farmhouse. Amroth Castle was requisitioned by the government during the Second World War, and maltreated. It was purchased in 1969 and converted into holiday accommodation, with a caravan park in the grounds, and as of 2025 National Historic Assets of Wales reports that it continues in this use with the same owner. Designation The building was Grade I listed in 1951. References
Sailors' Chapel, Angle

Sailors' Chapel, Seamen's Chapel or Fishermen's Chapel is a Grade I listed building in Angle, Pembrokeshire, Wales. The chapel, which is dedicated to St Anthony, is located in the churchyard of St Mary's parish church. It was founded in 1447 and was formerly used as a receiving place for the bodies of drowned sailors. History The chapel was founded in 1447 by Edward de Shirburn of Nangle, and was dedicated to St. Anthony. The building is located in the churchyard of St Mary's church in Angle. The chapel most likely derives its name from its crypt, which was used to hold the corpses of drowned sailors who washed ashore before they were buried. Additionally, the building served as a place for prayers for the safety of sailors as they ventured out to sea. It was restored in 1853, and again by Elizabeth Mirehouse in 1862, and rededicated in 1929. It became a chapel of rest in the 20th century. On 14 May 1970, it was designated as a Grade I listed building due to it being a well preserved medieval charnel chapel. Architecture The chapel is a small, single-cell, vaulted building situated above a raised and vaulted crypt, probably built in the 15th or 16th-century. It was constructed with coarse masonry under a modern tiled roof with a Celtic cross finial. The chapel also has Victorian stained glass windows by William Wailes, one of which depicts the miracle of Christ walking upon the sea, likely added during Mirehouse's restoration in 1862. There is also a stone altar which is believed to be originally from St. Twinnel's. It also contains a 15th-century male medieval effigy, which is speculated to be of the chapel's founder, Edward de Shirburn. References

In 1846 it became a national school with up to 116 children until the village school opened in 1872. The building may have been used as a mortuary chapel, and is known by that name. After 1872, the building, which has a large blocked-up window, was used as a committee room, store and as a residence, housing paupers as late as about 1840. The building has been locally known as "The Oratory". Its current use is as a parish meeting room and Sunday School. S. Lewis, in 1833, describes the building: In the churchyard is an ancient building, apparently coeval with the church, which is occasionally used as a parochial school, the master being appointed by the vicar.

The church's interior has a fine timber panelled ceiling with moulded beams, rafters and ribs, and carves bosses at the intersections. It dates to c. 1500. The church organ dates from 1737, by Harris & Byfield, with two keyboards. Of the three main churches in the town, St Mary's was originally the church for the merchants. St Martins of Tours was for the castle and the aristocracy while St Thomas á Becket was for the common people. St Mary's joined with St Thomas a Becket in the 1940s under one vicar. When St Thomas closed because of insurmountable repair bills, the congregation met at St Mary's church. St Martins finally merged with the parish in 2013. St Mary's has been a listed building since 1951, now listed as Grade I as a "major medieval church with exceptionally well-preserved detailing."

Plas Bodewryd

Plas Bodewryd is a Grade II* listed privately owned country house in Bodewryd, Anglesey, which was owned by the Wynne family until 1755 then the Lords Stanley of Alderley until the 20th century. History The house was the residence of the prominent Wynne family. Gweirydd ap Rhys Goch of Henllys may have been an ancestor of the Wynn(e) family of Bodewryd. Margaret Wynne (d.1723) passed the estate to her son, the agriculturalist and lawyer Dr Edward Wynne (1681–1755) who was Chancellor of Hereford. On his death, the estate passed to his sister's granddaughter, Margaret Owen, heiress of the Penrhos estate, Anglesey, who married Sir John Thomas Stanley, 6th Baronet.

The central block was extended in the late 17th century and further wings added in the early 18th and late 19th centuries, giving the house a predominantly 18th century style. References
St Mechell's Church, Llanfechell

St Mechell's Church is a medieval church in the village of Llanfechell, Anglesey, Wales. The building dates from the 12th century and was rebuilt in the mid to late 19th century. It also underwent some renovations in the 1990s. It was designated a Grade II*-listed building on 5 December 1970. History and architecture St Mechell's Church is dedicated to Saint Mechell. The church is in a rural and scarcely populated part of the Isle of Anglesey, located at the north side of the crossroads in the centre of Llanfechell. The church was first mentioned in the Norwich Taxation of 1254. The oldest parts of the structure are the nave and western parts of the chancel, which both date from the 12th century. The chancel was possibly lengthened in the 13th century, however its current length suggests that the chancel is an "unusually long" structure from the 12th century. The south transept was added in the 14th century, whereas the north transept is of an uncertain date and has since been modernised. The church tower is contemporary; the western tower dates from the 16th century with an added 18th-century spire. Although modernised, the porch is most likely medieval. It has been suggested that the original 12th century church had a central tower. Factors supporting this assertion include irregularities and joints in the walls near the central crossing. The church underwent significant renovation work in 1840, 1870 and in the late 1990s. It was designated a Grade II*-listed building on 5 December 1970.

Lamphey Bishop's Palace

Lamphey Bishop's Palace or Lamphey Palace (alternatively Lamphey Court) is a ruined medieval building complex in Lamphey, Pembrokeshire. It is a scheduled ancient monument and a Grade I Listed building. The grounds of the palace are designated, jointly with the park of Lamphey Court, as Grade II* on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. History Whilst early thirteenth-century fragments from the old hall still exist, the palace, including the 25 metres (82 ft) great hall, was largely constructed under Bishop Henry de Gower, Bishop of St David's (1328–1347) and was used by high-ranking clergy. The palace was built in three stages and originally had over 20 rooms and featured fishponds, orchards, fruit and herb gardens and areas of parkland with grazing deer. The palace was surrendered to the crown in 1546 during the reign of Henry VIII and granted to Richard Devereux and subsequently the Earls of Essex. Walter Devereux, 1st Earl of Essex lived in the palace as a child. The palace was sold to the Owens of Orielton in 1683, possibly due to damage in the English Civil War. The buildings were possibly used for farm purposes in this era. The palace ruins are listed as a scheduled ancient monument and a Grade I Listed building.

Holy Trinity Church, Trefnant

Holy Trinity Church is a Grade II* listed building in Trefnant, Denbighshire, Wales. It forms part of a group of listed structures in the village, including a parsonage and school, that were designed by George Gilbert Scott and which are recognised as a significant parochial architectural group. The church was designed by George Gilbert Scott and constructed between 1853-1855 to commemorate the life of John Lloyd Salusbury of Galltfaenan Hall. The works are variously said to have been financed by his two daughters, Mrs Townsend Mainwaring and Mrs Charles Mainwaring, and by the former's husband, Townshend Mainwaring. Giles Gilbert Scott designed a vestry for the church in 1907, which was financed by Charles Salusbury Mainwaring, an heir to Townshend. Scott senior was also responsible for the design of the parsonage for Holy Trinity, which was constructed in 1860 on land donated by Townshend Mainwaring and is Grade II listed in its own right. The same year saw the construction of Scott's school design in the village, again substantially supported by Townshend Mainwaring; the school opened in February 1861 and is Grade II listed, as is the attached Scott-designed schoolhouse.

St Daniel's Church, Pembroke

St Daniel's Church is a Grade I-listed disused church in Pembroke, Wales, situated on a hill approximately 1.1 kilometres (0.68 mi) south of Pembroke Castle. One of the oldest churches in the area, it is located on an ancient, pre-Norman site associated with Saint Deiniol throughout the 6th century. The saint to whom it is dedicated is Deiniol, who according to tradition was the first Bishop of Bangor. It is claimed that Deiniol had a hermit's cell on the site, pre-dating the church, and the site has also been linked to Saint David. The site gained a reputation for miraculous healing, and became a shrine for pilgrims who would drink from the well. The current structure dates to the 14th or 15th century. It underwent repair in 1780, and again in 1849 and 1893. It became a Grade I-listed building on 10 February 1951.
