Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Temple Druid This is the third house on this site. There was an original farmhouse called Bwlch-y-clawdd that was demolished for the construction of a gentleman's hunting lodge in 1795. The famous architect John Nash was engaged to design it, according to Richard Fenton "on a elegant plan, finished and furnished to accommodate itself to the tastes and habits of its first late modern possessors, accustomed to fashionable life". Nash gave it a grand stone staircase and other splendid features but it passed through a succession of owners before being partially dismantled in 1824 and rebuilt.
During WW2 it was taken over by the writer Leo Walmsley who took in evacuees and others in need of refuge (including the novelist Nevil Shute), and wrote about the place, as Druid's Castle, in his book 'Happy Ending'. In the same spirit, the mansion's latest function is as a therapeutic retreat for those who have suffered trauma, see http://www.dandeliontrust.org/projects/temple_druid.html |
