Trebarried in Wales



Trebarried in Wales

(quote, excerpts)

Trebarried is a fine example of an early mansion of considerable importance,

built for one of the famous Vaughan families,

descended from Sir Roger Vaughan of Herefordshire who was knighted by Henry V as he lay dying in the Battle of Agincourt.

The current house was apparently erected by William ab Henry Vaughan in 1640. Some historians believe it to have been built earlier and is almost certainly comprised of materials from an older house in the same spot.

The house and buildings have mullion and transom windows, some of which are believed to be late Tudor in origin with the out buildings that form Trebarried Court apparently late 17th Century.
