Note

In 1779, Priscilla inherited the Gwydir estate, the Grimsthorpe Castle estate and the title Baroness of Willoughby de Eresby from her brother, the 4th Duke of Ancaster and Kesteven. Gwydir Castle, at the foothills of Snowdonia and set within a ten-acre garden, is regarded as one of the finest Tudor houses in Wales. The first castle, built by Howell Coetmore, and rebuilt by Meredith around 1490, acquired additions in the 1540's that incorporated re-used medieval material from the dissolved Abbey of Maenan. An Elizabethan porch and gardens were added in the 1590's, with further additions made in 1828 to designs by Sir Charles Barry, architect of the Houses of Parliament. Famous residents include Katherine of Berain (cousin of Queen Elizabeth I), Lord Leicester (Queen Elizabeth's favourite), Sir Richard Wynn (Treasurer to Queen Henrietta-Maria and Chief Groom of the Royal Bedchamber), Inigo Jones (‘the Fatherof English Palladianism'), Bishop Morgan (translator of the first Welsh Bible) and Archbishop John Williams (Lord Keeper under Charles I). Howell Coetmore fought under the Black Prince, Edward, as a commander of longbow men at the battle of Poietiers (1356). Meredith, a descendent of the Kings and Princes of Gwynedd, founded the powerful Wynn dynasty and was a leading supporter of King Henry VII. Famous for its peacocks, Gwydir castle is also known for its many ghosts and has the reputation for being one of the most haunted houses in Wales. The castle has associations with both the Babington Plot (1586) and the Gunpowder Plot (1605). The Babbington Plot, named after the leader, Anthony Babbington, was a plot to replace Queen Elizabeth I with Mary, Queen of Scots. The plot failed and Mary, named as a conspirator, was beheaded on 08/02/1587 for treason. Visitors to Gwydir Castle include King Charles XIV (1645), King George V and Queen Mary (as Duke and Duchess of York in 1899). HRH The Prince of Wales visited Gwydir Castle in 1998 and opened the newly reinstated 1640's Dining Room, the fine paneling and carving of which was dramatically recovered from the Metropolitan Museum of New York in 1996. Grimsthorpe Castle has been the home of the de Eresby family since 1516. It was granted by Henry VIII to the 10th Baron Willoughby de Eresby on the occasion of his marriage to Maria de Salinas, kinswoman and lady-in-waiting to Queen Catherine of Aragon. |
