House & Family History
Bryngwyn ("white hill" in Welsh) is a smaller country house built in the 1770s and enlarged circa 1813. It is owned today by Auriol, Marchioness of Linlithgow (became 3rd wife of the 4th Marquess in 1997; formerly 2nd wife, from 1970 to 1994, of Sir John Ropner, 2nd Bt.). After being left unoccupied for 60 years, Auriol's mother (Geraldine Mackeson-Sandbach) gave her Bryngwyn in 1980 (Bryngwyn has passed through three generations of the female line [descendants of Martin Williams], since the early 19th century). The restoration took 10 years, including the removal of the early 20th century front entrance hall extension and the remodeling of the front elevation (addition of a pediment in the style of an unexecuted 19th century plan for the House).
