Summary
| Description |
English: The Old Place, Llantwit Major Known also as 'Llantwit Major Castle' this is in fact an old manor house. Built in 1596 by Griffith Williams of Candleston for his son-in-Law, Edmund Van (or Vann?). The manor is built in a half-H shape of limestone. Apparently a single-pile house originally and given the forward wings, rear stair tower and forecourt walls soon after 1600. It remained with the family until 1694, when conflict between the Seys and Van families left the Vans ruined the manor then remaining home to just one old woman. It was abandoned as a house in the early 18th Century and fell into ruin and by 1874 the interior had been fully dismantled.
The manor is believed to be haunted by a Dutchman and also by a lady in white. The Grade II listed building is a scheduled ancient monument and is in the Llantwit Major conservation area. The manor is owned by the Vale of Glamorgan Council. |
