The Location

The Hall is set in a secluded valley 3 miles from the popular tourist destination of Llangollen in mid Wales. It lies well away from busy roads at the end of a shared drive through woods.
The property is ideally suited for guests travelling from the Midlands or North West England. The drive time from Manchester and Birmingham is 1 hour, Liverpool is 45 minutes and London is 3.5 hours. The nearest main-line rail station is Ruabon to which train journeys from London via Crewe or Birmingham New Street take 3.5 hours.

The History

Since 1742 Trevor Hall has been home to some of the most powerful and distinguished families in Llangollen. Trevor Hall was for centuries a seat of the Trevors of Trevor Hall, one of the three principle branches of this welsh tribe who claimed descent from the Tudor Trevors, who lived in around the site of Trevor Hall.
The site is an ancient one, and was known to be the home of Bishop John Trevor, who built the Llangollen Bridge in 1345. The house itself was largely reconstructed to its present form in the 18th century by John Lloyd of Glanhavon, Montgomershire, who in 1715 married Mary Trevor, heiress of the Trevor’s estate. A carved stone on the outside of the house has their initials and motto Dum spiro spero and the date 1742, as well as the name of ‘John Roberts mason’ to whom can be attributed the design as well as the construction of the handsome, three-storeyed red brick façade with its stone string courses, quoins and pedimented doorcase approached by a double flight of steps.The interior plan of the house reflect a medieval h-plan layout, with grand entrance hall containing a beautiful cut-stone chimney piece on the rear wall with male and female busts adorning each corner. Both the interior and exterior of Trevor Hall, plus the ancient site on which it stands has assured it a place in history, and its scarcity in Wales as an early Georgian brick house at Grade I status.
In 1987, Michael Tree, then a chartered surveyor of the Crown Estates, bought the house and gardens and begun the long process of restoration. Under his expert eye, the house was restored piece by piece over the next 11 years.  In 1998, with the house completed to his satisfaction,  Michael Tree put the house up for sale when it was acquired by the current owners, Louise Parker and her late husband Louis.  The Parkers have continued the restoration of the grounds and have added their unique style to the interior.
