English: Presaddfed Hall. Presaddfed (originally, Prysaeddfed) is a mansion with a long history.
The first lord of Prysaeddfed was the 12th century Hwfa ap Cynddelw, the founder of the 15 noble tribes of Wales and steward to King Owain Gwynedd. In around 1400. the poet Rhisierdyn praised his patron, Hwlcyn ap Hywel of Prysaeddfed, in verse for undertaking the hazardous pilgrimage to Jerusalem. In the 17thC, the Welsh Royalist adventurer Capt. Marcus Trefor, whose exploits in Ireland gained him the titles 1st Viscount Dungannon and Baron Rostrevor married Ann, the heiress of Presaddfed. His name is commemorated both at the nearby hamlet of Trefor SH3780 and also at Rostrevor, Co Down J1818. In the 18th century the estate passed to Sir John Bulkeley, whose family name had been connected with the estate since at least the 15thC. Sir John caused a stir by marrying Ann Owen - one of his maids. After his death, Ann remarried with the fiery Calvinist exhorter John Elias. Ann, the dowager Lady Bulkeley, received the income of the estate whilst its management passed to Margaret Emma, John Bulkeley sister, who had married a Dubliner by the name of James King. Margaret Emma died childless and the estate passed to her husband's natural son, Capt. James King, of the 87th (Royal Irish Fusiliers)Regiment of Foot. In 1873, he was murdered on his doorstep by an Irish vagrant after he reprimanded him for knocking on the front rather than the back door. Being childless King had already bequeathed Presaddfed to the Stanleys, of Penrhos, Holyhead SH2781. In gratitude the Stanleys had a village pump erected at Bodedern in memory of the unfortunate "Faugh". The present house was initially constructed in 1686 and rebuilt in 1821. In recent years the Presaddfed hall and demesne have been operated as a hunting estate and shooting school.http://www.presaddfed.co.uk/ |
