Description:

Llanvihangel Court is a prominent Grade 1 listed building, just outside the traditional bounds of Ewyas Lacy to the south of Walterstone. The Wikipedia entry for the property reads as follows:

‘The court was originally constructed by the Morgan family in 1559 although earlier medieval elements were incorporated. It was later substantially embellished and extended by the Arnolds, Members of Parliament for and High Sheriffs of Monmouthshire in the 17th and 18th centuries. The north front is of two storeys and six bays from the late 17th century, whilst the east front was largely rebuilt as late as 1905. The interior contains plaster ceilings, screens, fireplaces, doorcases and a "magnificent" staircase of very high quality, some from the 17th century and some from later re-modellings.

The grounds and outbuildings are also of note. The stable block is "a great rarity dating from 1630–40 and largely unaltered" It is a Grade I listed building in its own right. Near the lake there is a small brick summerhouse, also called the Guardhouse or Garden House, which may originally have been one of a pair completing a walled enclosure around the court. This has its own Grade II* listed designation.’

The photographs below were taken at one of the periodic public ‘open days’, with the kind permission of the owners.

An account of the history of the Court and its owners, and the Grade 1 Listing Description are also available.
