A visit to Powis Castle, another National Trust property. A look around the gardens at Powis Castle.


Powis Castle (Welsh: Castell Powys) is a medieval castle, fortress and grand country mansion near Welshpool, in Powys, Wales.

It is known for housing the treasures that were brought home by Robert Clive and his son, Edward Clive from India. The Clives obtained them during their service with the British East India Company.

The castle has also been known as Castell Coch, Castell Pool, Castell Pola, Castell Pole, Castell Trallwng, Red Castle, Redde Castle and Castel Cough.

The seat of the Earl of Powis, the castle is known for its extensive, attractive formal gardens, terraces, parkland, deerpark and landscaped estate. The property is under the care of the National Trust.

Princess Victoria (later Queen Victoria) visited the castle as a child when her mother took her to tour England and Wales in 1832.

History

Little is known about the origins of this building, which was shown as a malt-house on Thomas Farnolls Pritchard's plan of 1771. The brickwork, and the first phase of openings, may indicate a late C17 or early C18 date; the existing openings are probably C18. The building was extended to the E, probably shortly after 1771, and was probably re-roofed at the same time. The original pattern of fenestration, and the later fenestration in the W part of the building seem to indicate a non-domestic use, though not necessarily the malt- house recorded by Pritchard. The presence in part of the interior of fire-proof construction also suggests a non- domestic purpose. More recently, the building has formed estate offices and accommodation - a use which may have been established in alterations and extensions post 1771.

Interior

Towards the centre of the earliest (W) range at first floor level, one room forms 3 bays of conventional early C19 fire-proof construction, with brick-arches between cast- iron beams carried on cast-iron columns.

The largely C17-C18 building forms a handsome element in the gardens at Powis and is of special interest as an early estate building, modified and adapted for particular uses.

The Bothy is a Grade II Listed Building.

The Bothy


Exterior

History: The house was built in 1906 (architect not known), adjacent to a site which had at one time been occupied by a dove-house, and other agricultural outbuildings associated with the castle. The wall to the rear of the house, and the outbuildings against its inner face, appear to be C18; the rear wing of the house also appears to represent an earlier survival, while the outbuildings at the back of the small yard to the rear of the house are probably late C19 or early C20.

Exterior: The house is timber framed on a brick plinth with stone copings. It has red tiled roof, and brick and terracotta star-shaped stacks to gable end and rear. Close-studded pegged framing, with decorative quatrefoil panels flanking the windows, and curved tension braces at angles. Entered via a single storeyed porch with steep chamfered archway from Dairy Square, its principle elevations overlook the garden. S elevation is 2 storeyed, a 2-window range, with balustraded and arcaded loggia entrance (now partially filled-in) to the right. Wide gables with pierced trefoils in bargeboards over windows: left hand bay has single lights to ground floor and canted oriel window above; full-height canted bay window beneath right-hand gable with transoms to lower lights. All windows have chamfered mullions and leaded lights. W gable end has jettied upper storey carried on finely moulded brackets: 4-centred archway to recessed porch to left (with similarly arched panelled inner door), and canted bay window with mullioned and transomed lights alongside. 4-light mullioned window with quatrefoil panelled apron to first floor. NE rear wing is partially rubble and is probably of earlier date.

A high brick wall with stone copings forms the W boundary of a yard to the rear of the house. Against it is a range of timber-framed outbuildings, which are probably C18. The cross- range to the rear of this yard is brick with stone dressings: louvred vents in plain tiled roof. Paired doorways towards left and a series of mullioned windows with hood moulds.

The bothy is a very good example of the Neo-Vernacular 'Old English' style of Edwardian building, which makes a strong contribution to the character of the formal garden, laid out in 1912.

The presence in part of the interior of fire-proof construction also suggests a non- domestic purpose. More recently, the building has formed estate offices and accommodation - a use which may have been established in alterations and extensions post 1771.

Interior

Towards the centre of the earliest (W) range at first floor level, one room forms 3 bays of conventional early C19 fire-proof construction, with brick-arches between cast- iron beams carried on cast-iron columns.

The largely C17-C18 building forms a handsome element in the gardens at Powis and is of special interest as an early estate building, modified and adapted for particular uses.

Little is known about the origins of this building, which was shown as a malt-house on Thomas Farnolls Pritchard's plan of 1771. The brickwork, and the first phase of openings, may indicate a late C17 or early C18 date; the existing openings are probably C18.

A visit to Powis Castle, another National Trust property. You are not allowed to take photo inside of the castle (items in private ownership), but it's fine around the exteriors and gardens. Anyone caught trying to take a photo inside gets told off by one of the guides inside the castle, so it wasn't worth the bother (bit frustrating when going around the castle). At least the outside areas makes up for what I couldn't take.


Powis Castle (Welsh: Castell Powys) is a medieval castle, fortress and grand country mansion near Welshpool, in Powys, Wales.

It is known for housing the treasures that were brought home by Robert Clive and his son, Edward Clive from India. The Clives obtained them during their service with the British East India Company.

The castle has also been known as Castell Coch, Castell Pool, Castell Pola, Castell Pole, Castell Trallwng, Red Castle, Redde Castle and Castel Cough.

The seat of the Earl of Powis, the castle is known for its extensive, attractive formal gardens, terraces, parkland, deerpark and landscaped estate. The property is under the care of the National Trust.

Princess Victoria (later Queen Victoria) visited the castle as a child when her mother took her to tour England and Wales in 1832.


The Bothy is a Grade II Listed Building.

The Bothy


Exterior

History: The house was built in 1906 (architect not known), adjacent to a site which had at one time been occupied by a dove-house, and other agricultural outbuildings associated with the castle. The wall to the rear of the house, and the outbuildings against its inner face, appear to be C18; the rear wing of the house also appears to represent an earlier survival, while the outbuildings at the back of the small yard to the rear of the house are probably late C19 or early C20.

Exterior: The house is timber framed on a brick plinth with stone copings. It has red tiled roof, and brick and terracotta star-shaped stacks to gable end and rear. Close-studded pegged framing, with decorative quatrefoil panels flanking the windows, and curved tension braces at angles. Entered via a single storeyed porch with steep chamfered archway from Dairy Square, its principle elevations overlook the garden. S elevation is 2 storeyed, a 2-window range, with balustraded and arcaded loggia entrance (now partially filled-in) to the right. Wide gables with pierced trefoils in bargeboards over windows: left hand bay has single lights to ground floor and canted oriel window above; full-height canted bay window beneath right-hand gable with transoms to lower lights. All windows have chamfered mullions and leaded lights. W gable end has jettied upper storey carried on finely moulded brackets: 4-centred archway to recessed porch to left (with similarly arched panelled inner door), and canted bay window with mullioned and transomed lights alongside. 4-light mullioned window with quatrefoil panelled apron to first floor. NE rear wing is partially rubble and is probably of earlier date.

A high brick wall with stone copings forms the W boundary of a yard to the rear of the house. Against it is a range of timber-framed outbuildings, which are probably C18. The cross- range to the rear of this yard is brick with stone dressings: louvred vents in plain tiled roof. Paired doorways towards left and a series of mullioned windows with hood moulds.

The bothy is a very good example of the Neo-Vernacular 'Old English' style of Edwardian building, which makes a strong contribution to the character of the formal garden, laid out in 1912.
