Old Court, Llangattock Lingoed
History
The original house was a hall-house, probably dating from 1480–1520. In the 17th century, the Court was greatly extended, with a second storey being added, and the construction of wings to the North-West and South-East. Further modifications were made in the 19th century.
The Court was home to the Morgans, a cadet branch of the Morgans of Tredegar House. Its most prominent inhabitant was Sir Thomas Morgan, 1st Baronet, who fought for Parliament in the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. Sir Thomas seized Chepstow Castle for the Parliamentary forces, and assisted Thomas Fairfax at the siege of Raglan Castle. He later supported the 1660 Stuart Restoration and was made a baronet for his services.
Description
The house is of two storeys, with attics, and an interior still "largely in (its) 17th century state."
