NOTES: Originally a medieval fortified manor house, this became a stone castle with tower house in 1438 when Ioan ap Gruffudd was granted a licence to crenellate. The property was reconstructed in the 1780s by Samuel Wyatt only to be completely remodelled in 1820-1845 for the Pennant family to designs by Thomas Hopper.
